Some people call it a calling, and some people just call it a sense of knowing why they are here on earth. Whatever we call it, it is having something to give our lives to, and for, while we are here. If you have not discovered your purpose and you do not know why you are here, do not stop until it has been revealed to you. If you know your purpose, it is a good idea to remind yourself of why you are here, and to make sure that you are progressing towards its fulfillment. Purpose is something that becomes clear to you early or late in your journey. Some people know at a very young age and some people do not bloom until late in life.
It is possible to be thrust into purpose or to gradually discover it. If you become a parent unexpectedly, soon one very important part of your purpose will require that you become disciplined and attentive. In the sense of a calling, purpose is not something that you choose, is something that you were destined or predestined to do. Whether you choose your purpose, or it is thrust upon you, more than likely you have a natural proclivity to be skilled in that area.
In recent posts I wrote about seeing and listening with your inner eye and ears. Purpose is something that has more than likely been whispered in your inner ear many times already in your life. It does not have to be anything grandiose but the more you follow the direction you are pulled in, the closer you get to understanding your purpose. To successfully discipline yourself to fulfill your purpose will require other steps which I will address in upcoming posts.
