Hi, I just wanted to share some thoughts on the concept of life purpose. Of course this is just my opinion and experience and sharing it here simply as a place for me to express it. I personally struggled with the concept for some time. I desperately wanted to fulfill and live my life’s purpose. And yet as I was sitting with different alternative options they often felt flat. Each different life direction never felt ‘right’ as I reflected on it. But my experience has been as I have been struggling the thought came to me, “if my essence is love (soul) then there is nothing I can do that will make me ‘more’ love or more soul.” I am ‘full’ right now. The only issue I have is the issue that I create (fear)…insert any ‘fear story you like here’ (i.e. i need a life purpose). Now, does this mean that I do nothing? No. What is important is that I come to terms with the fact that whatever I do will not make me any ‘more’ than I am right now. For example, I may become a financially rich man which is nice but wouldn’t make me any less or more than the ‘me’ right this second. It’s a weird experience as I have been feeling a certain inner freedom coming from the fact that I already am ‘full’…whatever I end up doing is all good. I believe this is what authentic power points to. Not increasing in Love that was somehow missing but rather doing to work to uncover the Love that my Fear is hiding from me and others. The work is always there as I believe that is part of the human experience but nice to know that whether I am willing to see it or not the Truth is that I am full/love/soul. again, just my personal perspective from my experience at this point in time. lots of love, |
