What is My Purpose?

A common question I’m asked and that I have also asked myself is, “What is my purpose?” I think this question is a deep existential question that some ask often throughout a lifetime. Events or situations can occur that can spark this deeper question. However this question enters our lives, it can be the most meaningful journey that we take.

I have found that breaking this question of purpose in two parts is very helpful. First step, take a look at your inner purpose. What does your Soul want? Are you looking to be of service in your life? Do you wish to have inner peace? What are you looking for within yourself? Keep in mind, an inner desire is not a material possession.

The second step, after determining your inner desire, make choices in the outside world that match the inner desire. This will cause you to stretch yourself. Because, you may make choices that don’t match the life that you’re currently living. For example, instead of turning on the television every night, you may decide to set a daily time to write. Following your Soul’s desire can lead you to places and situations you never thought were possible.

Quote of the Month

When you become comfortable with uncertainty, infinite possibilities open up in your life. It means fear is no longer a dominant factor in what you do and no longer prevents you from taking action to initiate change.
