Finding Purpose

What is life really worth living for without purpose?

It drags on day by day, round and round in circles and at some point it starts becoming meaningless, depressing and sometimes completely hopeless. Without purpose many of us found no real joy in life. It really felt like it was going on just to give us pain. Especially in the midst of tragedy we could not see any light.

Why wake up to this dreadful life? What is it worth living just to serve these ends that never fill the void. Why do bad things happen to good people? Why does life keep pushing us down? What is all of this trying to teach us? Why is all of it happening?

It’s happening for you to find purpose.

See the key to life is to look for purpose within every life experience. This is how you can transform your life from “it’s happening to me” to “it’s happening for me.” The best gift in this life is the magical experience of turning pain into purpose. Because every pain can be transformed and all things have a deeper meaning. The problem is that most people miss that. We go along complaining about life, not understanding its wicked unfair whys. And in that we miss the opportunities that are right there within reach. Its the opportunity to transform. To learn. To adapt. To step aside. To break down. To rebuild.

Just as your body becomes sick when you are out of healthy alignment. Your life shakes up when the Spirit is trying to get your attention.

So what do we do? We try to find the purpose in it.

What is this trying to show me? What is this trying to teach me? What do I need to look at? How can I shift myself? How can I bring life to darkness?

Over time you learn that these experiences are entirely beneficial to your growth and the ability to have wisdom to share. By being completely yourself and sharing that experience with others you can make a huge impact. What you have is special and it is through your exact experience that you can benefit others. Keeping our issues and problems hidden from the world dampens this light from shining through. It is through our vulnerability and being our authentic selves that we can brighten up and shine for others to see in the dark.

You could tell me that you don’t have any relevant experience to share with anyone else but I would never believe you. The real issue is the fear we all have of opening up and exposing our stories. But it is in these stories being told that true companionship, inspiration and healing can be breathed upon others.

Finding your purpose in life can be as simple as starting to look for purpose in everything. It can also be as massive as just taking the worst experiences of your life and the fact that you understand what that feels like and turning it into a message.

So speak. And be who you are.

You were created & weaved together by the Divine. You are important and you can be who you were created to be.
