Healer within (Part – 7) | umasvedantam
https://umasvedantam2.wordpress.com/2014/06/30/healer-within-part-7
This is my second Blog. Healer within (Part – 7). June 30, 2014. Meaning / Purpose of life. At some point of time, all of us must have wondered as to what is the purpose of our life? During the teens or in the twenties we must have had discussions about the purpose with friends / family. Unfortunately, we never got the right answer. We left the question and continued with the way life took us. Eg The food we want to eat, the dress we want to wear, the school, the qualification, the job, the holiday etc.

Our confidence will be low as we will never ever meet our expectations. We will hate our self as a loser. We will feel tired of running around all the time. All of us have a unique nature. We are na...

https://umasvedantam2.wordpress.com/2014/10/09/speaking-tree

You will see it is very organised and people are very...
