Many of life’s problems disappear when you discover and consciously live your life purpose. When you are doing what you are born to do, you feel on track, on purpose. Agonizing decisions become clear choices.
SO WHAT IS LIFE PURPOSE?
Life purpose is how you fit into the bigger picture of life. It’s answering the question of, “What can I do not only to help myself, but to help others?”
Here then is your life purpose in a nutshell (of course, it’s much bigger than that). First, on an intuitive, knowing level, you already have a sense (vision) of a better world.
Second, you find your own gifts and skills. You want to pick the talents that you are passionate about. Use them regularly to make the world a better place.
Doing what you love puts you in the timeless flow of life. You’re doing what you enjoy to help yourself, others and the planet.
YOUR GIFTS
Let’s look at the term “your gifts.” This means you were gifted with certain abilities. If you develop and share these talents that move you, they will move others to a better place, too.
What happens if you don’t develop your gifts? You remain in potential. You could say that you end up wasting what has been given to you. Hence the maxim about dying with your music left inside of you.
Using your gifts and crafting a purposeful life lets life flow through you, sometimes quite mysteriously. The result is you help others grow by how you serve people with your gifts. Of course, in the process you flourish as well.
FINDING YOUR PURPOSE
Me and my wife’s purpose is “to become empowered communicators to help the world be a more creative, caring, collaborative and prosperous place — bringing out the best in ourselves and everyone.”
(As a note, your purpose continues to grow and shift as you do.)
As you open to who you are at a deeper level, you become more confident. You have a stronger sense of self. You become strong enough to stand up to criticism and learn from feedback.
It doesn’t mean you never falter or experience setbacks. You just persist and rise to a higher level — so you can be more and help more.
FINAL THOUGHTS ON A LIFE WITH PURPOSE
We suggest that you make finding and living your purpose a priority. Remember to do it with mindfulness and ease. No need to force it to happen. Once started, just let it happen.
Let the universe guide you to discover and live your purpose more fully. You and everyone will be glad you did!
