I think we've all let this thought cross our minds at some point in our life. Have you ever had a day where things just were not going your way? Have you ever been betrayed? Have you ever done your very best and still felt like you failed? How about the other side of these thoughts... Have you ever had a day where everything felt right? Have you ever looked into someone's eyes and known that they truly understood you and you felt great relief and connection? Have you ever been so filled with joy it brought tears to your eyes?
How can some days make you feel so alive and others make you feel so dead and lifeless?
I am determined to discover my life purpose so that I can live a life I am proud of. I am determined to focus on my strengths and make this world a better place. I do not want to be so self involved that I turn this life of mine into an entity that only involves me. I am aware of the bigger picture. The problem is, sometimes I forget that I know this. I fall back into old habits and find myself back in the place I started from. It frustrates me to no end, but the next day I wake up ready to try again.
How do we find our life purpose?
This is something I'm hoping we can lay out in front of us and discover how to make this world a better place together.
Contemplations:
1. When is the last time you felt joy?
2. What makes you feel alive?
3. What is stopping you from doing these things more often?
That's all I want to focus on today. Just meditate on that. Where do you find joy?
This is just the beginning.
You are here for a reason. Your purpose is important. Let's discover how to live your purpose.

I recently got out of another hospital stay and feel it was a pivitol time for me; seperating from Talley, being diagnosed with fibromyalgia, having to move in with family st 41 years old, and so much more had broken me down & I was internalizing all of it and blaming myself. My self-worth and confidence were gone, I
ReplyDeleteforgot how to be happy, my spiritual life was lacking and I stopped taking care of myself. I was toxic, inside and out and it was up to me to fix it all. Through all these realizations I kept trying to figure out when it all started to go wrong and it occured to me, finally, that I no longer felt I had a purpose. So now that is one of the things I am determined to change. So thank you for this.
Tara thank you so much for sharing this with us. I'm so proud of you for taking a step back and taking some time to see what's going to make you happy and moving forward, what your purpose is. You are a kind, loving, giving individual and I know you make big differences in people's lives. I'm excited for you. :) :)
