Humans have pondered about finding purpose and direction to their lives for aeons.
Whether reading of a farmer, painter, scientist, parent, or emperor of a nation the underlying questions we hear again and again are, “Is this it? Is there nothing more?”
So, where should you start?
Let us dare to imagine a world where we exist healthily with each other, ourselves, and nature. A place where we can thrive through realising our own inner potential.
And…
Let us state the gratitude we have for being given a life. Life is a miracle and you are part of it. You share the wonderful gift of life with everyone else who is living right now, here on this little rock called Earth.
How to start then?
There will be some work to be done that would be well served with some kind of self authoring process to help you explore your past, present, and future (try doing some research online to find out what I mean by this).
It could be argued that one answer is to stop wanting more and with possessions that would certainly be a valid point. Yet, what of knowledge, personal fulfilment, and service to others? Decide what it is that you hope to achieve whilst you are here and then set about doing it with effort.
Shared experience is a wonderful thing. By listening to the wisdom of those that came before us we save ourselves from retreading a path that has already been trodden without success. Many ideas have been tried and cast aside but those that have stood the test of time are generally simple truths.
I’m certainly not going to be able to provide you with the answers you seek for your ultimate purpose in this humble space yet I can offer you some of the ‘Life gems’ that I picked up whilst I was going through the same process.
