A better new, me

What’s the meaning of my life?

I think the purpose of life is to be useful, to be responsible, to behonorable, and to be compassionate. It is, after all, to matter: to count, to stand for something, to have made some difference that you lived at all.-- Leo C. Rosten (1908-1977) American Writer

But I would say it’s all about my values, my goals, my relationship with myself and with others. It’s about where I was & where I am going!


So many people try to influence our lives for some benefit of theirs or for no reason at all. Try to give our life their meaning and also make us believe it as ours! Though it is a positive or negative influence, the ultimate decision should be ours. Only we can give our life a meaning.

Then there is comparison. Everyone tries to compare one with other. I believe the comparison should always be with oneself. If you are comparing yourself with a person who is better than you, it can depress you. If you are better than someone, it can give you a false impression of feel good factor which may be pleasing at present but not in the long run.


It simply doesn’t matter if you are doing better or worse than your neighbor, your friend, or your colleague. Always check how you were last year or sometime back? How you are now? Are you being the better you or the worse you? At least that’s what each one of us should try to be 'The Better Me'. Better than previous every minute, every day, every week and every year. The Better ME! Be the very best you can be, be the best you have ever been!


Everyone gets almost similar circumstances, but why does one person gets through and another a victim of it? Circumstances must never be an excuse.

I guess it’s the response or the choices that you make, the decision that you take, The Attitude...The Positive Attitude that makes the difference.

1:I appreciate what you have said here and what you think. Well said. Especially, when you said, above, that, “It simply doesn’t matter if you are doing better or worse than your neighbor, your friend, or your colleague. Always check how you were last year or sometime back? And also, I liked “The Better ME!” Philosophy of yours, where, one should evaluate themselves constantly, to improve and be the best and be the best we have ever been. Thank you.

2:yes... totally agree to you and all must think "The Better Me". But then i believe that the comparision must also be done with someone who has been a successful person and learn from him/her. If we take the comparision in postive sense it leads us our goal soon. So the most important thing is postive attitude.
