Your Purpose is Hiding in Plain Sight

Are you still wondering why you’re here? And what you’re meant to do with your life?

You were made for a mission. You were made to be on purpose. To live a purpose-centred life.

So what’s stopping you? Is it the need for acknowledgment or fame? Or a fear of it?

If you’re aware that you’re of real use to others then you won’t feel the urge to go out of your way to be acknowledged.

If you’re aware that you’re making a genuine contribution to others, then you won’t have a need for recognition.

You have so many gifts. And you are meant to share them. It’s how you give your life meaning. (Yes. If you’re in good health, the you are in charge of giving your life it’s meaning. Think of it as a gift you’re giving yourself.)

Your purpose is to be. So that you know what to do. Your life task is to be what you are called to be. For example: To be encouraging. To be visionary. To be kind. It seems simple but you know it will be easier said than done.

You don’t have just one purpose.

You’re a multipurpose being. One of your life tasks is to be adaptable, to shape shift your way through life. So that you can be what you are called to be, according to the requirements of any given situation. Another life task is to be intuitive. You need to be able to follow your intuition if you want to successfully implement your purpose.

Imagine. During a conversation with a friend, your intuition indicates that your purpose is to be inspiring.

You can inspire one person, and at some point, they will go on to inspire another. Then that person will inspire another. And so on.

It will gain momentum.

Your task is to stand back and watch what happens.

If it leads to recognition or not, it won’t matter because you know you’ve fulfilled your purpose.
