Do We Know Our Purpose?

I am pretty sure we all have many opportunities to explore different purposes for our lives. One way to know whether something is part of our life’s purpose is to ask ourselves, Does this doing and being feel right? Am I really alive with this choice? I should add that there are some struggles along the way.

I think we are here to dance with joy for life. As I face challenges, especially physical ones right now, I want to say, “Please just let me dance!” Well, maybe that sounds too easy, but easy is not a fact; it is an attitude. As I face challenges, I surrender to the feelings in my reaction. I can say, “Good grief, what next?”, but I always look for something amusing about the situation. It will not necessarily help with a solution, but I feel better laughing on my way to solving the issue.

One of our major purposes is to face every challenge that comes our way, I mean, every challenge we have attracted to ourselves, sometimes for known and sometimes for unknown purposes. We need challenges, really need them, and we should never disparage their presence in our lives. Our challenges show us repeatedly how resilient we are, how emotionally strong we are, how much our health can be affected by our thoughts, how wise we can be, and the depth of our willingness to become, increasingly, the Love and Light that we truly are.

Because of what seem to be frequent challenges, I am asking myself, and listening for answers, “Tell me how I can do better.” Perhaps it is more about accepting changes as they accompany our challenges. Or perhaps it’s about understanding the illusory nature of all things that can and do change and accepting the nature of the Divine Love that accompanies us on all our adventures and doesn’t change.

If you are feeling good most of the time about what you have and do for yourself and others, then I would say, life is good!

Please enjoy all the opportunities our Interfaith Community offers to you to enhance your life purpose.

Blessings!
