What is my life’s purpose?
What is my purpose? What is my mission? Why am I
here?
I hear this from most every client I work with, as
well as family and friends. Most people think of their purpose in
terms of a career. While some focus on where they live. Seeking our
purpose often becomes challenging when we think about it in terms of
what we do. We think, “It is my purpose to rescue homeless animals,
provide reiki, establish food kitchens, or be a teacher.”
All
of these are admirable and important. They are even a part of your
mission/purpose.
However, you may find that in a few months,
a year, or 5 years from now, it may not be the same. Does that mean
you have not found your mission? Does that mean you do not know your
purpose in this lifetime?
Absolutely not! There are
many levels of life’s mission/purpose.
At the basic level,
it is to do or engage in activities that have purpose - to be
purposeful.
At the more subtle level, it is to follow your
heart and soul in each moment. This allows your higher consciousness
to bring changes as you grow and evolve. Although this is subtle, it
also is important. Why? Because it is a more difficult task to
accomplish – thus evolving your soul.
Then there is
enlightenment and realization –
ascension. This means growth into a
level of total awareness. This is something that all souls strive
for, but most of us are blocked by our daily lives and patterns from
being able to achieve this state.
The bottom line is, when we
think of purpose or mission, we think in terms of a task, an
activity, or a job. However, your soul, who you are, is wanting you
to think in terms of being in the moment, following your heart, and
growing your spiritual self.
Many people say to me – how can
that be a mission – I need to do something. My answer: Your mission
may bring you something to do, but first and foremost, it is about
being something. What you do may change and evolve throughout your
life. The path of ‘being’, however, does not change.
One
cannot lift themselves up to the higher levels of enlightenment in a
moment or in a few years time. I would like to ask you to take the
first step and open yourself to allow the process to happen within
you. Allow the purpose of you to unfold – even if it is just to be
in gratitude and acceptance of each day of your life. This by the
way is huge and not easy to master or accomplish. So I say, “Go soul
go – show me the way!”
