Life purpose

There is no one sole purpose to life purpose. Purpose in life are many purposes, its all about discovery.

We live in a world where many people are unhappy with their lives. They focus on getting the dream job, and wage package to go with it, a partner and children if they can squeeze them in, and all things materialistic. While what we are drawn to do in life largely creates what we have become, our purpose is about what we came here to experience, learn and understand.

Life purpose isn’t part of our education system or upbringing, so many people end up living a life that society dictates or ones their families prescribe for the illusion of success, comfort and security. Many have glamours about what their life purpose is, so they don’t see they are already living many aspects of their purpose. We would have to be resisting all opportunities, and everything in front of us to to not be living with any purpose. As a result of this belief they begin to search outside themselves for answers, rather than source their own inner wisdom.

Discovering purpose in life is a journey and work in progress. It requires us to get out of the way of ourselves and see the false perceptions we my have about ourselves and what we think we are capable of. Our challenges help to build inner strength, and wisdom is gained by what we overcome. It’s like taking a journey with some direction on the path to start with, and as we grow through recognising any false self-perceptions that may prevent us from discovering who we are and what we came here to do.

Knowing ourselves makes it’s easier to decide what is best for us, rather than allowing others to decide that for us. Knowing ourselves can also make it easier when making major life decisions for career paths, relationships, or where to live and work. We are all unique and have specific lessons unlike anyone else to learn for our growth which is why limitations, hardship, loss, challenge and heartbreak are the very heart of life purpose. It is through these experiences we are given opportunities to discover our true essence. How well we do this depends on how much we overcome in the process.

When we're unclear on what steps to take, it tends to cause repeat second-guessing decisions. This usually happens when we are experiencing inner conflicts about what path to take. The real self is never really understood until the inner wisdom is listened to. Opportunities for purpose are always there, so if we are more conscious of that there is always something to be seen that is meaningful for our lives. The rest is a future unknown and not important, as what we create today is creating a future path that can change at any time as we change.
