How Does A Man Find His Purpose?

Hi Folks,

Years ago, I made a mistake. I enrolled myself to complete my graduation. Within a few days, I knew that something was wrong.

I sensed it.

Despite the sensitivity, I continued. Kept attending classes to finish the course.

Nevertheless, inside I was neither committed and not persistent.

It is a dangerous state of mind that you are doing something uninterrupted but discontented. It can work for you or against you. I inherited this skill perhaps from my parent.

Then again, regardless of the objection from inside I finished my three years graduate program from the university.

Because I was unsure about my strengths.

I had selected the commerce stream. Although I did not want to become an accountant or was seeking any management role in business.

I was like water and the choice was something like oil.

Naturally, it did not mingle.

Quite expectedly, I did not find any job after my graduation and made another mistake.

I decided to become a software programmer. My accounting career was suddenly replaced by a programming course – an e-commerce application development certification course, from a reputed training institute.

Initially, I felt more at ease.

Somewhat comfortable.

However, after 3 months, when I did my first test project where a team of three trainees had to collaborate to build a program similar to MS Notepad, that familiar ominous feeling back again inside me.

Despite this conflict, I finished my one-year high-end computer training and this time too I failed to secure a job in the IT industry.

At that time, I was confused more than ever.

After a few years of struggle, I finally get a job in the digital marketing field. I am still struggling though, but not anymore to build my career, or secure my job, but to give back something to the online marketing community.

Anyways, almost a year ago, I headed to an unfamiliar city with a new job. It is a great organization with supportive friendly colleagues.

However, the feeling persisted and I can feel it.

Going to the office every day is a routine for me. I looked at some of my friends and family members who liked their work.

Whereas some others just looked exhausted, sleepy, and skeptical.

My professional career as a web marketer is now 12 years long and now I decide to do something different.

I need to find why I am on this earth and want to help people who did not know the real power of search engine marketing but want to know it.

Recently I met some young energetic people who want to become professional digital marketers.

Unfortunately, all of them did the same mistake that I did at a young age - without thinking much, enrolled for a course paying a hefty fee.

In my time, I can at least say as an excuse, there was not much exposure in career counseling or options or availability of web to make an informed decision. However, these people cannot use that as an excuse for them. Then why they choose the wrong path for them?

Does this mean, even if we have a Smartphone with an internet connection all the time, we are not progressing in the right direction?

Therefore, I decided to write my experience in the form of blog posts and publish them so I can help others from suffering inside. Thus, I am now writing regularly.

This is my way to return the favor to the society where I belong.

The journey is on.

I decided not to settle down for permanency.

When people typically start thinking about coming back to their hometown from abroad, I did just the opposite - left my hometown alone for the first time in life and headed towards a new place.

I must respond to my inner calling.

I wanted more from life.

Started looking around.

Obviously, it was scary as I moved to the unknown.

However, I survived.

It took me months to settle down.

Leaving your family and friends was not an easy decision for me I ever made.

Along the way, there were smiles, pain, and encounters.

However, I accepted everything.

Because slowly I am discovering my passionate purpose in life.

I am much better now in every aspect of life.

You all also try hard to figure out your passion and design life accordingly to live peacefully.

I am always here to help you. Let me know if you need me.

Have a great time ahead.

Best,
Partha
