Do you feel now how simple it is to “sort your life out!”
Remember Rome wasn’t built in a day neither is “sorting life out in a day”
Life will never be “sorted out” per se, but is continuous steps of daily successes!! Like learning to walk, (crawl, walk, run) 😊
Btw, take as long as you like with each step! No one is keeping score!! I set variable time frames, one week, two months, but it may take a day, an hour a month, a year, etc!!
Over the next months, I’m going to look at purpose, focus, making progress, our mission in life, etc!!
We are one.
We are one human race.
Just like colours, red, orange, yellow, green and blue;
Each unique, but each by itself, a rainbow does not make.
But, together in harmony,
as the light shines through in unity;
Together with violet and indigo,
conjure up the most heavenly bow,
so glorious,
just like me victorious,
alongside meritorious, you!
My African queen
Across from me
My beauty queen sits
In all her glory she glows
With flawless skin, so beautiful
I feel such love within
As I behold my African queen!!
A lot of people talk about purpose and knowing your purpose, etc. You hear a lot of talk about one not being grounded and floating around if you don’t know your purpose.
Sometimes a girl like me gets caught up with trying to identify her purpose, finds she keeps jumping from one purpose to the other.
I guess perhaps because I tended to align myself with other peoples goals, dreams and aspirations.
You read fancy mission statements of purpose that sound more like marketing gimmicks. And yes, I understand these concise quotes can help focus an individual or mission.
Indeed, Jesus Christ read his mission statement from the book of Isaiah,
“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted…” Luke 4:18 KJV
But wait a minute:
I want to challenge the myth about purpose and the obsession with purpose driven lifes, and that everything is about purpose!!
Life may simply be life for life’s sake and may not necessarily serve some cosmic divine purpose so far away in the distant universe!!
The feeling of not knowing ones purpose for being on earth (based on being constantly told, “you need to find your purpose) can be a source of constant misery.
This may yield a sense of failure and unfortunately lead to devastating circumstances in some individuals.
First of all:
I want to strip purpose down to molecular level or basic levels of humanity.
LOVE
I believe our basic “purpose” in life is to love! To love one another as we love ourselves, love the Universe, God, all of creation, etc.
And first and foremost that eternal divine “purpose” of love, when fulfilled symbiotically gives great joy and fulfilment to humankind, god, the universe,etc.
Second of all:
GIFTS, TALENTS & INTERESTS
I believe the gifts, talents and interest we find will give us the grace to contribute and point us to our purpose or purposes at each given moment.
For example as a singer, my purpose at that time could just simply be to deliver a song in the best way possible for me in that moment.
Or as a pharmacist my purpose is to legally and safely assemble & distribute medication to patients. And so on!!
I remember once, feeling like or observing my “purpose” in life as “to encourage others” after I’d heard a sermon about discovering your purpose.
But in spite of that, was still plagued with a sense of having no purpose and that my birth was a mistake anyway. And I’m a fraud just trying to fit in with the planet as I float from place to place!!
So the question is can ones purpose be pinned down to one specific purpose or purposes at different moments?
At the moment my purpose may be, “sharing this daily blog and publishing my first mini book, VICTORY THE OTHER SIDE.”
Or to put it in mission statement format:
I feel for the moment my purpose is simply to share my experience, encourage and inspire myself and others to keep going daily!!!
But which came first, knowing my purpose or doing an activity which I in turn translated into my purpose?
Guess what?
