Is there a goal in life

What if you realize that there is no goal in life. What is the destination ? Where will the journey end ? Will the journey ever end ? Is the journey itself a goal / destination. The sudden realization that there is no goal in life, although you feel that you have many goals for yourself , will make you empty. The emptiness thus created will soothe you and you will feel that you are part of a larger emptiness. Everyone is running, is in a hurry to reach somewhere. The cluttered mind is always talking, directing you to reach some place, some destination. Are you made to obey your mind and run unending for one or the other thing till your last breath.

If you stop for some time and think what are you supposed to do. The goals are created by you or given to you by someone else. I think the goal should not be material. Think from bigger perspective as what is your potential. Did you come into existence to run after small things and then die some day. Even if the goal, which you think is the goal, is material, you should dwell how that goal is helping you to justify your existence. You can think of these things only when you are able to take the rein in your hands from your mind. Else, mind will always produce cacophony in which you will not be able to listen to the silence.

The solution to this cacophony is give yourself some time. Think what is the reason of your existence. This will help you to break your own limit. Listen to the silence within. Spend some time meditating. Feel your breath. How is breath connected to your body. Are you the body ? Are you the mind ? Who are you ?
