Everyone is born with a ‘Life Purpose’
From birth you possess natural instincts and and express them naturally, and as you grow older you become conditioned in the way of the adults in your world. As a child, you don’t recognize the value of these instincts in your life at the time. But, as you grow older, you recognize that there is more to life than eating and sleeping. You reconnect with your natural instincts and your life purpose.
What is your life purpose?
As a child, you go to school and learn to prepare you for adult life. Learning the important literacy and numeracy skill sets necessary to live successfully throughout your adult life. This period of your life is seen as preparing you for the future. However, there is no subject in the curriculum called ‘Life Purpose.’
How do you identify your Life Purpose?
As you learn you grow from within which creates a certain yearning that there is more to life than what you can see, hear, smell, taste and touch. Thoughts begin to fill your heart and mind of a world beyond the four walls of your home and your school. Every sphere of influence in your life feeds into those yearnings: parental care, friends, church, school and life in general. It is as much about self-preservation as it is about the unseen influences in your life.
Each person develops a life purpose. Beyond what is expected of you in the early years, what you make of your life is up to you. All influences in your life (internal and external) feed into your ideals and slowly shape who you become. That’s your belief system.
You are taught right from wrong (values), however, there are other traits like intuition, logic, perseverance and bravery that are learned through experience. That experience comes through goals, failures and achievements.
As you slowy shape your life purpose, you will recognise that you are actually turning your inner yearnings in your life into tangible goals. Perhaps you want to help people in the medical sense. That desire can change into a goal to become a psychiatrist or a surgeon. It could even lead you to do mission work in a foreign country. The possibilities are endless.
Your goals are the key to your life purpose
The goals that you choose to pursue are in direct relationship to your life purpose. Goals can be shaped by good and bad experiences in life. An abuse victim may set a goal to help other abuse victims by starting a program for recovery or sponsoring a child in a third world country. Positive experiences in your life can lead you to being whoever you desire to be. The sky is the limit.
Asking questions are the answer
If you are looking to take your life in a new direction, listen to your inner voice and consider your life’s purpose. What experiences and knowledge has shaped your life to date? What do you believe in strongly?
Use the answers to these questions to begin a life of your dreams so that you not only enhance your life but the life of others also.
Dont die with the music still inside you – Live your Life Purpose and make a difference in the world……
