Often time, we relentlessly go through life trying to find out our purposes but yet never have the right answer. The moment you understand yourself, you will understand the purpose also, without any effort. Understanding your unique individuality will give you an insight into your purpose in life, but you cannot find the purpose directly without finding yourself. The purpose is secondary; you are basic. So there is no need to be concerned with the purpose. The whole concern should be knowing yourself, and the way to know yourself is meditation.

You are again getting confused. The purpose of your life is not the work that you do; you can do anything. It is not the title of your job defining who you are. You can be a shoemaker, you can be a carpenter, you can be a dancer, you can be a musician – that does not matter. Whatever gives you bliss, whatever gives you peace, whatever brings more awareness to you, whatever makes your life a life of gratitude… any work will do.

The work is not important but what happens within you, doing the work – that is the decisive point. If it brings light in your being, if it brings a deep fulfillment, if it makes you more loving and more joyous, then it is absolutely irrelevant what you are doing; do it and do it totally. The more totally you do it, the more intelligence you bring in doing it, the more your individuality will become authentic, the more your potential will become actual, the more you will find you are coming closer to your destiny, to your home.

This is very relevant KoKo and so very true. How often do we strive to be something we're not.

Years ago I kept trying to study maths and was getting more and more frustrated until took a hard long look at myself and said 'you know what, it doesn't matter if I struggle with maths and don't enjoy it, it doesn't make me who I am'. I went on to study English and enjoyed it.

I am who I am and I know what I enjoy in life.

in reply to

Yes Alicia Daz how we suffer, we keep trying to be someone we’re not when we can always change our perspectives to go into another direction that is more joyful and closed to our hearts. I’m glad you went on studying English and enjoyed it, that’s bliss🥰. I hope it stopped raining over there so u could enjoy your power walk today. ❤️❤️❤️🌈☮️🧘🏻‍♀️xxx

in reply to

You are spot on the KoKo, it might take a while but we have to be who we are and love ourselves, we'll then have a lot more room to love others.

Unfortunately the rain didn't stop so I had a lounge floor date with Joe Wicks Lean In 15😂😂💜💜🧘‍♀️🧘‍♀️💜 xxx

I dont think I can add anything to this. So great to see. Thanks for posting🙂👍🙏

in reply to

Agreed 👍😂😂😂🙏

This was nice to read. I agree and am pretty sure yesterday I said similar things to someone else. The only thing that was different is I've never seen things in terms of having a purpose. I think that is the mistake most make when trying to find themselves or their own meaning. They think there is a magic purpose out there that they can do that will bring them joy when you said it best. The work doesn't matter it can be anything. what matters is the fulfillment you get from it. That is what is most important. As long as we have a social structure around us, a partner in our life, a way of expressing ourselves, and have our basic needs covered meaning will come along with these things.
