Finding Your Life Purpose

You have a purpose in life. You have a unique gift or special talent. By using this to gift to benefit others you raise your spirit to it’s highest. This isrepparttar ultimate…repparttar 105675 dream of all dreams andrepparttar 105676 point where you can all live a life with abundant happiness.

The question is how?

This article will set you on that path and tell you what to do next.

Forget how much money you have. Forget how big your home is or how big you’d like it to be. Forget where you want to go on holiday. Forget your religious background and forget your education. I say this because focus on these things can stop you from seeing who you really are and therefore stop you from doing what you want to do in life.

The reasons why you’ve forgotten who you are and what you want to do are that they have been extracted from you or squashed by following beliefs and values of those around you. You’ve been stopped from exploring you.

We get caught up on ‘being good’ conforming torepparttar 105677 norm, directed by peers and elders and adoptingrepparttar 105678 beliefs of groups and our society as a whole. Your education may have thwarted your talent about as much as a religious upbringing may have choked your self-expression.

Parents and friends may also have suggested strongly or even told you what you needed to do when it came to your career. You have ended up working forrepparttar 105679 local government because it was safe and secure or for a bank, insurance firm, followed a legal or accounting path because you believed it had good career prospects and good chance to make money. You may have made good money, built a successful career, but also noticed that you have a desire to do something else. Here is how you can use that desire to your benefit.

The demands of being a good person can sometimes mean sacrificing your own happiness.

You may have been raised to be a good boy or girl; encouraged to be a good worker, to be a good parent; to be a good friend; to be a good citizen… And I’m not saying that this is wrong; what questioningrepparttar effects of this on our individual happiness andrepparttar 105674 impact on our country.

If we continue to be good workers, will this ever allow us to achieve our full potential as human beings? If we continue to be good-parents, protecting our children when it is safe to empower them, will they grow to be all they can be? If we continued to be good friends, by sheltering our companions fromrepparttar 105675 truth, will they ever getrepparttar 105676 information that is vital to their well-being? And if we continue to be good citizens who go along with what were told and are happy to leaverepparttar 105677 issues inrepparttar 105678 hands ofrepparttar 105679 ‘higher’ authorities will we ever live alongside one another, full of love and accepting of our differences?

What does “good” mean anyway? Inrepparttar 105680 “good old days,” good literally meant, “good!” But today good often means “average” or “normal”: about half-way between everything and nothing – onrepparttar 105681 pivotal point between life and death… one thing miss judged and out of kilter and suddenly we’re onrepparttar 105682 wrong side of life.
