You are your purpose.
You existing in this world is your purpose. Not the job status you have, not the amount of money you make, the car you drive, the size of your house, how popular you are, not even the number on the scale when you step on it every morning.
But let’s face it, we see messages on TV, social media, mainstream media, movies, that if you have all the THINGS, you will feel like you are living with purpose. It is impossible to not fall into this mindset when it is thrown at you EVERYDAY. Even at 46, I work on this mindset EVERYDAY.
So it can be understandable that when you read YOU ARE YOUR PURPOSE, that you just can’t let that really sink in. You can’t really FEEL it deep down in your bones.
Listen, I have heard this phrase over and over again and it still didn’t sink in. But for some reason this year it did. Maybe it is the power of repetition or maybe it just wasn’t supposed to sink in until now?? Have you ever thought about that? Maybe the message that YOU ARE YOUR PURPOSE isn’t supposed to really sink in until TODAY! And for some of you, you may still need to hear it a few more times until it is the RIGHT time to let it sink. Just like it took for me.
But if you think you are half way there to believing what I say, then give me a minute of your time.
Don’t Believe You are Your Purpose?
Grab a pen and paper.
Now write down all the different roles/jobs you have had over the last decade. If you are a parent, write it down. Volunteer, write it down. You have multiple tasks at work, right it down. Write down everything you have ever had a hand in doing in the last decade. (You can even take it step further and write beside each one the skills you used – organizing, planning, managing, communicator, creativity, care taker)
Now sit and read that list.
Now re-read it.
I am sure you have at least a half a dozen, if not more on that list. Now tell me that all those things on that list show me that you are NOT your purpose! Go ahead, I dare you.
Tell me that not one of those things on your list were important.
EVERYTHING you do is important.
EVERYTHING you do is because YOU are living in your purpose.
