Purpose In Life

Someone I talked to last week was out of job for a year. It’s his choice to be out of job. He went around looking for an answer, a purpose in life. He made a million, and lost a million. He comes to realize money is not his purpose.

I am glad that I discover my purpose. No, it should be the other way round, the purpose found me. When I walked on the streets, took the bus or the train, I felt a sting to my heart. Because there are so many who don’t know what their purpose is. There are so many who are living someone else’s lives. There are many who lives in someone else’s environment without realizing it.

Many were blinded since young. They were blinded by TV commercials that tells them they must live in a certain way. In school, many were told by teachers, parents or media to only choose certain professions. Upon growing up, many were told by the government in how to live their lives.

Many were brought up conforming to someone else’s expectation. If you continue to live someone else’s life, then where is your life?

Finding that purpose in your life, doing what you are meant to do is the greatest joy you can experience. How can you discover your purpose in this world? How can you find out why you are here in this world for?

Get rid of these two words. NO CHOICE. These two words are the culprit to many who are trapped. “Why don’t you just change to a better job?” NO CHOICE! “Why don’t you just leave this abusive man?” NO CHOICE! “Why don’t you just do something to change your situation?” NO CHOICE!

You definitely have a choice. When you start to believe strongly that you have a choice in your life, and you are willing to take charge of your life, your purpose will be shown to you.

Many were closed in their mind, not believing that they can have that choice. Purpose will not be shown to a close mind. When you are willing to break away from all the conformation, you will be liberated. You can feel a sense of freedom falling upon you.

Be open minded. Be willing to take charge of your life even though it may seem crazy to make certain decision at times. A guy sold all his assets and move to a mountain for 8 months because purpose came to him. In the end he became a famous musician who won the Grammy award.

At times you’ll be face with strange decision just to go with your purpose. It’s your choice. Follow your purpose or follow someone else’s live.
