Most Important Thing in Life

This question arises in each one us minds that what is the most important thing in our life. What's the meaning or aim of our life. It definitely can't be possible that we are here only for doing job, or looking after our family or just spending our days doing one or another thing. There must be some solid reason for each one of us to be here. What's that? After all we The Humans are the best creation of god then there must be something that should or that makes our lives different from other creatures on this planet. There are few things that I would like to list here as the answers to these questions

1. Love

If you can find it in your life and it has flourished in your personality then this could surely lead you to happiness and contentment. It can be felt and experienced but can't be expressed. If you will do a practical of doing each and everything with love you'll be able to find what it's essence is. It is one of the most important, vital and worthy thing to be felt in one's life.

2. To be Happy

I have found this as the most important thing to be in one's life. It can come by self satisfaction and contentment. After all whatever we do in major portion of our whole life is for the sake of our happiness... so that we can be happy. Be it our job, marriage, relationships, children, education, excelling in our talents/creativity all our basically inclined to bring out the happiness in our life. And if we are able to maintain our happiness in each moment that makes a point. Being happy in each moment makes one's life meaningful and worthy. If you aren't happy from within then nothing is worthy be it our education, job, family, relationships and then reaching NIRWAN is next to impossible. Happiness is the way of living. BUT happiness can't last long if you are not on the right path. To maintain it, it requires something.

3. Knowing the god/Enlightenment

Yeah, this could be one of those reasons of taking birth as a human. Because only we The Humans have got this capability to know the truth of life. No other creature has got this privilege than Humans.
But to me it's should not be the first reason or aim of our life. Actually it can't be. Let's suppose we get the NIRWAN/MOKSH then also WHAT? We still have to live our lives. Then again that question will arrive that what are you here for. Our perspective towards life will get changed after reaching NIRWAN but what we'll do with it. It lead me to think further.

4. Introspection

Knowing yourself is I think the most important thing to DO in your life. It leads to betterment of your life. It helps knowing your values, your reactions to people and situations, your positive and negative points, your habits, your instincts, your  perspectives towards different things and so on.
It is also a sort of awakening. This could be helpful to everyone. It will help you at your work place, your family and relationships, and to yourself at the most.
And this will bring self satisfaction, self contentment and ultimately the true happiness which wouldn't require anything extra to be done to maintain it. Because by knowing yourself you will always have self satisfaction of what you are doing and this will automatically bring hapiness. Not only this but being witness (SAKSHI) while doing your KARMAS will save you from doing anything wrong also.

So, I would say that try to introspect yourself in order to improve as a person, bring happiness in your life, feel contentment and get rid of the anxiety of knowing the mistery of life.
