Hence, exploring as much as possible would definitely help us discover our purpose. What we have to pursue and achieve, is of course not possible to make it happen, with ease.

When the whole universe opposes, criticizes and under estimates you, only your inner self abides by you completely and spending time solely with yourself every day is absolutely important; however never forget that you are the best source of help to yourself. Don’t look or wait for an external aid to do a favor to you as it never happens most of the times.
