Life Purpose

We are all put on this earth for a purpose. This purpose is one that each individual alone must fulfill in order for humanity to move to the next level. It is within your contract that you entered into before this life that you will fulfill your purpose in this life. The longer we wait, the longer the whole of humanity will wait for deliverance.

This purpose is often times the thing that many people yearn to do, but often times, do not know where to look, where to even start, to find their perfect "job." This is not found in the classified advertisements in the Sunday paper or through that expensive private education. These methods may be temporarily satisfying, however, unless you are following the call of your heart, chances are, you will eventually become restless and look for something better.

The something better is within. It is within your heart, where you would least expect it. It is not what you have learned over many years and have grown to like, it is not something that you have to learn. Instead, it is something that you discovered during your childhood, or sometime in your past. It is the part of you that brings you joy. Perhaps it’s the love of trains that you have relegated to the basement of life or an interest in bugs that you decided was weird because of peer pressure. It may be something that you do and do not appreciate as a gift or something you feel anyone can do. Search within, find the love within and it will be obvious to you like a bright beacon of warm light on the coldest darkest winter day.

For many, in order to recognize our purpose, we must overcome what we see as our own inadequacies. It may not be something we can touch, perhaps it may be more like an idea or a feeling. It may be related to a tragic experience that we had or something that we feel has been done to us. It may be a feeling of utter helplessness. We may feel forsaken because of something that we feel we can't control. We may feel that we must help others to regain something in their lives, but what? It may be something within ourselves that we must accept and love as a part of our whole in order to gain an understanding of who we really are.

We, alone, are the only ones who can fulfill our own contracts. It may be our deepest fears, our deepest hatreds, our most critical judgments of ourselves or others. Our self-loathing and judgment is what keeps most of us from fulfilling our life purpose and is also what is blanketing us from the divine within ourselves. This is what we must overcome and recognize, accept as part of ourselves and teach others that which we have learned.

Whatever we believe about ourselves will manifest. If we believe we are stupid and don’t deserve to make a great salary, sure enough, we will be seen as stupid and will make next to nothing. If we believe we are fat and ugly and nobody could possibly love us... guess what? On the other hand, if we believe in our hearts that we are strong and intelligent and deserve the best in life, we will get exactly what we deserve. This is the power of thought. It is up to all of us to recognize that we are so very loved and have exactly the right tools to succeed beyond our wildest imaginations. Together, we will awaken to a higher consciousness and will recognize that we are all perfect. It is up to each of us individually to find our own purpose. Nobody can find it for us and hand it to us.

There may be times when we revert to our old thoughts, but we won’t forget totally what we truly are. Once we recognize who we truly are, each time we forget, it will be easier for us to remember again that we are perfect and whole until we forget no more. We are all one spirit, Divine spirit. We are all of one mind and therefore, all of our thoughts affect each other. When we judge ourselves harshly, we hurt everyone. We are all children of the one reality, God.

The process of self acceptance does not come after years of working out in the gym or a Ph.D. in Nuclear Physics. You could go through all the work of physically or mentally exercising your muscles and still feel inadequate. You must believe it within your heart, unconditionally, that you are perfect just the way you are.

For some, this may take years of digging or it may take a moment. This depends upon the individual and how resistant the soul is to finding true happiness. This will seem frightening to most as we uncover parts of ourselves that we may not truly accept. However, once we have walked the tightrope and found that we have gotten to the other side safely, the exuberance that we feel will be like no feeling we have ever felt before.
