Live In Your Dharma

Live In Your Dharma

Your Dharma is basically your purpose on earth. When living in your Dharma, you will find fulfillment. It will make you feel alive, in flow, comfortable, steady, positive and it will help you grow.

Your Dharma consists of passion, competence, empathy and usefulness. It is what you love doing and what you are good at and can be described as your talent or your Varna. There are four Varnas: Producer, designer, manager and teacher.

Don't try to follow someone else's Dharma and also don't blame anyone because you can't follow yours. Your Dharma is your responsability.
