I was watching Master Class...again...on the OWN channel. I have watched episode 1 and 2 six times now. Powerful stuff! One thing that Oprah stresses is that if you do not know what your life's purpose is your #1 priority should be to figure that out, or else you are just roaming aimlessly.
We all know how good I am a roaming...I don't need any help in that department!
I feel like I was closer to knowing what my life's purpose is ten years ago than I am today. I've lost sight of what is real. What is me. I've lost touch with the innermost workings of my very heart and soul.
This is what I do know. I know I was meant to be a mom. Check! I know that the things that bring me the most joy in life, besides my children, are helping others, teaching, creating/crafting, photography, writing, and reading. Whatever my purpose is...it would likely incorporate all of these things. One of the reasons I keep getting drawn back to blogging is because it does cover most of my bases. I just haven't found the right blog yet. I haven't found the one that feels like home and I am certain that this one isn't it either.
Do you know what your life's purpose is? For those who do not believe in this line of thinking, I get that...please respect the fact that I do believe, and love me enough to love me for who I am, please. :)
I have done all that I can do. All that I know how to do. I surrender. I give this up to the universe and ask that whatever my purpose is, that it comes to me whenever I am ready.

You know, I've been contemplating something very similar. Not so much purpose as passion -- though I think they are related. I wish I had an answer. I'm pretty sure what it's NOT. Just need to figure out what it IS.
ReplyDeleteI've been reading over some over your posts. I love your honesty. I think you do have at least a partial purpose. You mentioned helping others, teaching, and some of your passions.
ReplyDeleteI think helping and teaching others, including your family, and yourself, is one of the greatest things you can do with your life.
My problem isn't my purpose it's finding a way to accomplish my purpose!
By the way, my oldest daughter's first name is Dani, but, she usually goes by her middle name Lettie. :) I love that name!
Hi, stopping over from Eternal Lizdom. I think you nailed it when you said "when I'm ready. For me, I just have to blindly trust that I'm where I'm supposed to be...even though I don't really like it, but that I will know when it is time to live out my purpose. So in the meantime, we practice, practice, practice.
