Searching For What's Missing

Many people have goals, dreams or ambitions but do not know how to go about achieving them. They may have thought about what their life purpose would be and their ideal life, but have no idea how to even begin to make the plans and take the actions required to make them a reality.

And yet, some people have a vague idea on how to go about finding their life purpose, but are being held back my inner fears, doubts and plain old procrastination.

What Would Make You Happy

They feel their happiness or lack of happiness is decided by external factors and that their thoughts and actions have little consequence to the outcome of their lives.

Some believe that if they only had more money they could have whatever they want and be on their way to living their life purpose.

But they may have spent little time thinking about what they actually want from life, and have a deep seated belief that money is the answer to finding and living their purpose.

Other people don't know what they actually want from their lives and appear not to care about finding or living a life purpose. They seem to just drift from day to day, week to week, month to month, and year to year, and do little more than just exist.

They may have seemingly secure jobs and may be earning enough to live relatively comfortable lives. They seem happy enough and have no great

ambition to achieve anything more from their lives than they currently have.

So Is Living Your Life Purpose Important

Again, this is a question that will depend heavily on you, the individual, and what's important to you. You have to do what makes you happy and complete... and if living your life purpose fulfills that need, then your journey won't be wasted.

We all learn through formal education and we continue to learn through life's experiences. The reality however, is that we are all constantly growing and developing, and it's these circumstances that can give you insight into your life, and your life's purpose.

So utilize the knowledge and experiences you already have, and take the journey of discovery to living your life purpose. Don't be afraid to find out for yourself if it was worth the trip.

Modern life moves at a dramatically faster pace than at anytime in history. For anyone living in modern society there are more opportunities to do anything that you want to do with your life than ever before.

So you may ask yourself the question: "Am I ready for my life purpose?" And the only answer is that your commitment to self improvement and personal growth may well be the deciding factor in if you are ready or not.

What Am I to Do With My Life? Finding Your Calling
By Vladimir Murray

What are we here to do?

Why am i here?

What is my purpose on this earth?

My life has no meaning, what am I to do?

These are questions we all ask ourselves at some point in our lives, I know I have ever since I was 12 years old. For me, when I was younger, my answer was "I'm here to make people smile". As I grew older it became, " To make people feel good about themselves and realize that they are better than what they think they are". Each of us has to answer the question for ourselves no one can answer it for you. No one knows you like you do nor understands you as you do.

Now you may have been putting off answering the question for years, afraid to face up to your life as it is and the direction you should be heading. For many of you it is painful just to think about the rest of your life, you are afraid and I understand that. I know people who can not be alone with themselves for fear they will begin to have thoughts of what they are doing with their life. I implore you not to be afraid of who you are now, it’s the person you want to become and the life you desire to have that must be your focus.

As you think about what it is you are to do with your life, consider the following:

• Whatever it is, it is in line with the essence of who and what we are.
• We have total faith and belief in it.
• It is our Life's Vision.
• We derive great Joy and Happiness From it.
• It is something you either do for free or would do for free (I know this one will be hard to swallow for most of you).

You see your calling is what gives every aspect of your life meaning, you feel alive. It is your highest purpose, that which you and only you are here to do. What you will find is that it is something that deep down you know you must do because you've always had an interest in it.

Your unhappiness with your life may be tied solely to your denial of what makes you happy. When you decide to follow what makes you globally happy (and not what make you happy for the moment) you will find that life becomes easier and things seem to fall into place . You will find that you can handle your problems better as they arise and even plan for some before they arise. You begin to become a better person because of it. But when you fight against or act against your souls nature your life will tend to be in disarray and become unnecessarily challenging to live.

Think About This Friends!

As you go through life each day, week after week and year after year, what is it that we all really want? Answer, to find something we can be absolutely passionate about. Something that when we arise in the morning we can't wait to get started. Something that no matter how bad things are it always brings us great joy! Someone once said "Do the things you love and love will be in everything you do".

Now one thing about your calling is that it may be something that you end up growing into. I was 35 years old before I absorbed and accepted my calling, it's not that I did'nt see it when I was growing up, at different times I did, but for whatever reason I chose to ignore it.

So don't be too frightened nor get too frustrated if you can't decide, just keep searching it will reveal itself to you, the signs are everywhere. It may be in what truly shows who you are and makes you unique. Some people are born to sing, to write beautiful poetry, to dance, to invent, to lead, to help.

It may even be in what it is you believe in, for instance you may believe in the ending of poverty, long life, or even everlasting love.

Interestingly we are all born with the necessary ability to fulfill our calling.

It is very important that you realize that many of us do not have just one calling, we may have one thing that somehow defines our life, but it is possible to have many callings. I know many of my contemporaries will disagree with me but they all can’t deny the fact that we all have the capacity to excel at many things.

Another Way You Can Find Out What To Do With Your Life...

Is to imagine you are at your own funeral and different people are getting up to speak about you and their experiences with you. What would you like to hear them say about you? If your son or daughter got up to speak, what would you like to hear her say? If your best friend, spouse, co-worker, boss, employees, were to speak what will be said. Think about it, you may get some ideas.

Please keep in mind that what you are to do with your life may not be in your own eyes significant, but it may be significant in someone else’s life.

Getting to what you are to do with your life is going to be about living well. You have to make the conscious decision to direct your life and take it where you desire, keeping in mind your life vision, making the most out of each day that comes.

Now sit down my friends and decide what you want to do with your Life!
