The real RICHNESS is Life forever; Edhi a man who ran the world’s largest Ambulance service truly lived his life by example. He served the mankind at large and was a firm believer of the fact that the true purpose of life is in giving and sharing, that’s the reason which always made him to take a stand and help the needy and poor!

The nature is governed by the same rule, it’s giving and giving and only giving! Look at the sun, the moon, the stars, the fertile soil, the cows who give you milk, the oceans that preserves life’s treasures, the mountains holding us firm, the clouds blessing us with rain, they all are there to serve us, has nature ever asked you for anything in return, have you ever stopped receiving oxygen for free?

Kindness is in nature and the ones who understand this principle realize that the true meaning and purpose of life is to share and give either it’s the knowledge you have or the money you Invest and I repeat, INVEST! As the money you give in charity is never a burden, it can never be an expense! It will be multiplied many times like the spikes of grain and will flow back to you! It will nourish the society you live in, prevailing the principles of equality and love.

Edhi spent his entire life finding the meaning and purpose of Living, he chose to strive for a better cause. Have you ever wondered, how many of us are actually living only to make a living? How many times have you actually attempted to discover the true purpose of life? Is your life all about that 9 to 5 job and that excel sheet or it has some better productive purpose in it! With sun rise on every new beginning, have you ever asked yourself why you are chosen to be blessed with this gift of life and why you have actually made to it? We are always concerned about the lives of others and the matters going on with them but, have you ever felt concerned about yourself?

The legendary EDHI from the very beginning was more interested in discovering himself, he was more passionate to give a bigger meaning to his life and he knew that in order to achieve something bigger he has to first know himself, he used to spend ample time brainstorming about the true purpose of life and why he is here? He attempted to discover his passion and those who do so become eternal, they live forever like Steve Jobs did, he escaped his school but following his passion was something which always set him on fire, his passion was the reason behind his innovation. How many of us are actually aware of our passions? The meaning of life is not hidden in endless degrees. You grow up, you go to school, you then plan for high school and then, university and then, graduation and then Masters and then, M.Phil. or some stick to a crappy day time job! I mean Staph! Where are you wasting your energy? Just in the books, what insights of life have you experienced? Have you ever tried implementing those learning practically?

I have always been inspired by those who lived for a better purpose like Edhi, this is the fire which will never let you at rest. I remember since the very beginning I have longed to learn more and to read more, read books of self-help, auto-biographies, motivation and those non-fiction so, you learn and grasp from the experiences of others, meet new people, experience different cultures, so you can get a wider perspective of life, try to make someone’s life better each day, even the smallest of your efforts can make a big difference in one’s life. Remember, “A Charity Given and Then ADVERTISED Is Never A Charity.” As Edhi mentioned, give from your right hand the way that even your left hand doesn’t know about it.

Edhi is a great example of self-help, determination and motivation. Even when life didn’t seem good, he never complained, he never stopped dreaming and taking small actions which eventually led him to achieve big. Initially he started off from his surroundings, never losing a single opportunity to help and serve. Even if he has to suffer the opposition or consequences of doing so. Life is a continuous effort which can only be ignited by the fire of our dreams. Your dreams can only turn into fruitful realities if you keep yourself in action just as Edhi did.

My dear friends! Take time to think about the practical realities of life, to do and achieve something bigger than yourself, you should not be another in the queue who passed by and the world didn’t blink an eye. Your life should be a mark on the face of earth, your foot steps should be the ones, the generations aim to follow. This life is not meant to be spent like an animal with no brain. For animals the cycle of life is only, EAT, SLEEP, HANG AROUND, and REPEAT! Unfortunately, for 90% of our human fellows it is almost the same EAT, SLEEP, GO TO WORK, and REPEAT!

Shoot for the moon, only then you will be able to fall on a star! :)
