Most of the people who make lethal mistakes in their lives do so because they confuse themselves between two very important aspects that govern their lives – their purposes and their aspirations. Since we are trying to see how to add more value to your life, it becomes very important to understand the difference that lies between these two. Let us see how purposes and aspirations differ from each other and why it is crucial to understand this difference.
Imagine that you want to become an actor. Now, that is called as your aspiration. You aspire to become an actor, to see yourself on the cinema screen, on the billboards, etc. When you aspire to become something, you also aspire for all the baggage that comes along with it. Aspirations are like a perfume that spreads in various directions. They don't have a fixed focus and most times, they are abstract. Like, you may want to become an actor, but you don't any preferences about what kind of actor you would want to become. You don't mind if you become an actor in action flicks or in romcoms or even on television or on Broadway. The only thing you aspire for is to become an actor, but you don't have preferences there.
Now, purposes are vastly different. Like aspirations, they aren't vague. They are concrete. When a person has a purpose in mind, there is something definite in their mind. They are actually doing something in the direction of achievement. Like, you take up an acting course because you want to become an actor. Now there you have a purpose. You aren't just shooting in the dark. You are doing something so that you can achieve what you dream about.
We have spoken about purpose-driven and action-driven lives before. So we know that action is even more superior to purpose. So, when you take up the course, you have to go right ahead and follow it through. You have to practice, you have to rehearse and you have to mold yourself so that you become the actor you want to become.
When you just dream about doing something, you lead an aspiration-driven life.
