Understanding life is not easy for everyone. According to my fifteen years of experience working with people on community empowerment, Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), more than 93% of people just spend their days without purpose. About 3–5% have planning for one month’s income versus expenses, and only a few people live their lives with strong reasons or dreams.

Life and life Dreams
I have asked the questions, “Why are you living your life? What is the dream of your life?” to thousands of men and women, but hardly anyone has a big dream. I can count only a few students who said, “I want to be a doctor, engineer, teacher, etc.” But becoming a doctor is not the ultimate dream of life, because life actually starts after becoming a doctor or engineer.
If you would like to review your life, ask yourself the same questions, no matter how old you are. If you are a student, start counting from today. If you are a professional, remember your student age, your small dreams, your struggle for them, and now ask yourself: what is the dream of your life going forward?

Take a diary and write your realistic answers, thoughts, justifications, reasons, and achievements behind the life you are living now. Don’t feel guilty. Be positive and be true to yourself. Remember that life is precious, but it depends on you how you live it.
I know your answers may be similar to others, such as “I wasted my precious time in unplanned activities.” Don’t worry, that is the past. Move ahead and try to understand the power of acceptance.
When you feel that your plan or dream is not inspiring, and you are only running after income and managing expenses, then admit that you are wasting your life.
