Purpose

Recently I have found myself questioning my life and purpose. Has my life had any impact? What have I really accomplished? What is the next step? How does my life work into the greater good?

As I talk with my peers, I find that they too are asking themselves similar questions. I find it interesting that most outsiders would view my peers and I as successful. We all have good jobs, we make above average salaries, and we give the perception of strength and happiness. But there is clearly something missing in our lives. I fear that many of us will spend our entire lives looking for it, and in the end never find it.

We are all in search of something, what are you looking for? Me, well I wish I had an answer for you, but I do not. I am certain it is different for everyone. As for me, I am still on a journey, a journey of self-discovery. I have started to focus on the positive; hell life is way to short to have a bad day. Also, I have tried to start measuring my personal success by the number of people I can help, and I’m asking them to “pay it forward.” I struggle with the fact that this still leaves me with no final answer to my purpose, and I cant except the fact that this is it. I will continue to talk with my peers, friends, and family, and spend some time praying about this important question. I look forward to the day I can clearly articulate the purpose of my life.

I am also curious; can you answer that same question? If the answer is yes, and you already know the purpose of your life, I praise your success and hope you are fulfilled. I would love to hear more about your journey of self-discovery. How were you enlightened? If you are like me, and do not yet know the answer to this interesting life question, I challenge you to search your soul and develop a plan to find out!

I would love nothing more to hear and share your stories about your life and it purpose. Responses to this blog can be posted here in by clicking on the comments button below.
