What is your Dharma?

“It is better to strive in one’s own dharma than to succeed in the dharma of another. Nothing is ever lost in following one’s own dharma. But competition in another’s dharma breeds fear and insecurity.” Krishna in The Bhagavad Gita.

Dharma is your life purpose. It is living with what is integrious to you. Do you live in YOUR dharma? Or do you struggle to live with other people's agenda for yourself? When you live in your dharma or in your path, your latent talents and creativity emerge, and produce positive results all around you. You feel fulfilled, you are filled with joy. You spread joy. You know where you are going. You make conscious choices. You find qualities such as honesty, forgiveness and compassion naturally emerge while anger, judgment and greed drop away.

There is joy in living one's dharma. Take time to reflect, what is your true dharma or life purpose.. and then live it!
