What if you have thousands if not millions of purposes in life and not just one? New books on the purpose of life or finding your true purpose in life come out all the time. We all feel a need for life to have meaning! What if that meaning is in the mix and simply by breathing and engaging in this realm your purpose is served?
Think about this for a minute. It could be your purpose is to smile at that certain person at work at just the right time to give them hope when they are feeling down. Or take your granddaughter to the zoo and indirectly inspire her to be a zoologist or simply to love her. Your purpose could be simply to think positively and love each person you meet with an open heart and kind words.
Super Heroes are one of our favorite subjects for the movies, however we are each a super hero in ways that really matter to those we love and care about! The movies are just there to inspire and entertain you. We each have our gifts to offer the world and what I am offering here today is the realization that you cannot miss your purpose as long as you wake up in the morning and live your life. The details take care of themselves.
Humanity has a higher purpose also that each of us is here to share. Some people call them principles to live by, but I see them as Universal Purpose. The first one is to “Be Here Now”. This simply means to be awake and aware of as much as possible at all times. The easiest way to know you are aware is to feel your breath as it moves in and out of your body. This can be done as you go about your daily activities. Simply feel your body, every cell is alive, pulsating with energy and carrying you to your destination – Feel It!
The next Universal Purpose is to “Love Unconditionally”. I think this is self explanatory; however I will point out some key points here. Love has no limits, and it is your very essence. Love is who you are! When you are embracing this gift you serve your purpose. Love feels good always and all ways, so if you are feeling pain that is a sin or a sign you have missed the mark. Loving is actually the easiest path or the path of least resistance, so go with the flow and stop trying so hard. Remember Love is your nature, it is as easy as breathing and as close as your heart beat.
The third Universal Purpose is to “Tell the Truth – as you see it”. We each come from a place of our personal understanding and knowledge. It is important to always operate from this point of Truth. Lying is a deliberate avoidance or aversion from this place of Truth and it harms you every time you do it. A layer of separation or veil is created each time you lie and on the journey home you must clean through these layers to reach source. All humans have a certain number of layers; it is simply an occupational hazard of being human. We make mistakes, do not fret. Instead focus on the Truth and be honest with yourself and others always.
We each have personal purposes as well as the Universal and these are discovered by listening closely to your heart and being observant of life and that which inspires you. What brings you Joy? I am not talking about having fun; I am talking about a deep feeling of blissful satisfaction and serenity. The answer to every question is always right there and all you have to do is look, listen and feel.
