Have You Seen Anyone Rising from the Ashes?

You are tired. Very natural. Life is a long journey towards an inevitable destination: Death. Some do call it the beginning of another journey, but who knows what lies after that?

Most us have some purpose of living, but a few don’t — apparently. Do they give up and surrender to destiny? Many a do, but a few challenge the destiny and successfully change the course of life events!

One of them, I know!

An old lady who lost all her family members: Husband, sons, daughters, son-in-laws, daughter-in-laws and all grand children in one devastating accident — leaving her alone in this world and literally without any purpose of living.

But, did she give up?

No!

Rather she decided to fight it out against all odds -- and successfully changed the course of her destiny.

You know, how?

She set-up a rehabilitation center with some private aids for helping people in a similar situations -- injecting into their mind a purpose of living!

Today she is running her organization it successfully and she is of the most respected persons in the locality with everyone willing to extend all kinds of help and co-operation.

I think the difference between just living and living a meaningful life is the way you look at it, and find a purpose of living.

Well, have you seen someone like her — rising from the ashes? If so, please share your experience.
