Life Purpose

We all have a purpose in life. We all have a separate life path or life river; however you wish to think about it. Our paths are not predetermined before we are born by some cosmic power. The true destination however is determined by the person we become. Our decisions make our path unfold before us. Everything we go through (i.e. bad childhood, abuse, rape, etc) we go through for a reason. It is to make us stronger and sometimes it happens so we can help someone else or prevent it from happening from someone else. However if you see these experiences as nothing more than tragedies in your life alone then your path will keep you in that area of pain and suffering. If you choose to see it as a way to make you stronger and a way to turn things around for a better life, then your path will bring so many positive things to you. As we walk down our path the world around us changes and brings things to us in a way of what is known as Law of Attraction. How we think and how we feel brings more of what we are thinking and feeling to us.

Do you feel like you were meant for something greater? Or are you living your dream? Do you love everything in your life? Do you love yourself and everything that makes you, you? These are all questions you have to ask yourself. You have to give yourself a fighting chance to have the dream life you’ve always wanted. If you always say things like “it will never happen in my lifetime,” or “I missed my chance,” then that is where you will stay. As children most of us are taught to reach for the stars and are told that we can be whatever and whoever we want to be, but as we get older we lose faith in that. I think we lose faith in that dream because we lose faith in ourselves. I know I did, but once I found it again, I promised I would never let it go. It took outside coaching for me to find it again, and you can too, but it takes work. It is hard to get out of the negative abyss that we sometimes find ourselves in after a lifetime of bad circumstances, I know this personally. I refuse to be a victim of circumstances any more, and I hope that you will stand with me on that.

Everyone has something that happened to them that affected them so greatly that it would forever change their life, in both positive and negative ways. So you have to ask yourself, will this be the straw that broke the camel’s back or the one that made the camel stronger than ever? You choose the way things affect you. You choose the way your life will pan out. You choose the way you see things. So now I have to throw in an old cliché, do you see the glass as half full or half empty? Either way, you should look at it and see it overflowing from now on. Because once you set off on your dream path it will truly be overflowing in everything you ever imagined. You will find yourself enjoying more and more and learning to see beauty everywhere you look, especially in yourself.

You’ll find yourself growing emotionally, physically, spiritually, and devotionally with every milestone you make on your path. I am not saying that it won’t have its bumps and twists and turns, but if you continue on your path with full faith in yourself, you can’t go wrong. And know that there is always someone there to help you, even if that person has to be you. You have the strength to do it, you have the ability to do it, and before you know it, you have done it.

Your life path is very important and everything that has happened to you up until now is also important, it has made you who you are today. Time to throw another cliché in here, but as they say “what doesn’t kill us, makes us stronger.” So do not see your past as anything negative, see it as a survival guide if you have to. Because you are still alive, aren’t you? You have survived everything you have been through so why not use that knowledge of survival to make your path even better. Instead of walking down a path that looks like a dark and creepy alley or something out of a horror film change that path into the most beautiful sites you’ve ever seen. Only you can do that! Get out of the dark and step into the glorious sunshine and smell the roses. Pave your path with gold and have the gardener plant all your favorite flowers along the path. But remember you are the gardener as well, because your path is what you create.
