Everyone needs to have a sense of
meaning and purpose in their life, a reason to get up each morning. Some people find their meaning of life in
simple things, their family, gardening, work they enjoy, or their sport or
hobby. For all too many people in the
world, just staying alive is so difficult, this provides them with a grand
theme, a desperate heroic venture, that consumes all their time and
energy. Then there are many who have
planned before they were born, to follow a purpose of great meaning to them. Such people will feel pushed and driven from
early childhood on, to fulfil their chosen destiny, and if they stray from the
path, something will always call them back.
You will be able to tell what your purpose in life is, from assessing
what motivates you, and what fulfils you.
Do the simple things in life satisfy you, or does your heart yearn for
more? Do you feel pushed to take up a
grand theme to help the world in some way?
The divinity in each person is constantly striving to make the world a
better place for each and every person, and all other living beings. How does the divinity in you want to act in
the world to bring about beneficial changes and work for a worthy cause?
