Purpose:
posted by Deva Harischandra Jessica
We all have our purpose in life. Have you found yours yet?
It is beautiful to see that we have advanced on this subject in recent years. It is easy to find people on the internet showing their examples of life, in which most of them lived for a while in the molds demanded by society, attending a college that is not what they really wanted, working on something that generated a good financial income for them, but that drained their energies and didn't have time or quality of life, but they realized they had the choice to make a change, to live up to their priorities and managed to organize themselves and live with a lower income, but in an immensely happier and healthier way. Or even discovered much more pleasurable and profitable ways to work. People who found themselves in their purposes and live today in a way that is much more compatible with what is overflowing in their hearts.
But it is also sad to see that the vast majority of us still live as a tiny cog in this whole system that imprisons minds and souls in a very sad, unhealthy life, with anesthetic breathers on weekends. In a tremendous social inequality and believing that nothing can be done in relation to life itself, that life is just like that, and that there is no other possibility for them, resigning themselves to survive.
How incredibly destructive is this model of survival that we've been conditioned to believe is the only one possible. That we are not someone in life, that we need to follow the path: study, have a considered good job, get married, build a traditional family, consume, consume, consume, consume, look forward to the weekend, be saddened by the arrival of Monday and endure the week, not looking forward to Friday... Cycle that repeats...
We become machines and we don't ask ourselves what makes us really happy very often. We get used to the life we lead, we have the same behaviors, we compete to see who has a worse life in a conversation with someone who started complaining, when in fact, we want to be better than others.
How do we get so sick that we naturalize so many of these things?
It is very necessary to stop, look at our lives and find in ourselves what makes our heart flutter, what speaks to our soul, and ask ourselves: "Am I living or surviving?" "Do I have time for myself and the people I love?" “Do I live the life I want?” "What's really important to me?" "Do I work for my purpose in the world?" "What did I come here to do?"
And as we ask these inner questions, let's look at the answers. Let us stop and make this reflection in a very honest, sincere and welcoming way. And that we can meditate on the best possibilities for transforming our lives and we can live our truth. And not projecting our reality into a future that never comes. “When I do this…” “When I have that…” “When I retire…” “When I…”.
Life is now and there are countless possibilities, that we can see them and always take charge of our lives. I want each person to find themselves, and find alternatives to live their purpose and to follow a life where most of it has not been made up of sadness, frustration and that ends in regrets of not having lived as they wanted on their deathbed, but that he has a light heart, overflowing with love and gratitude, certain of having freed himself from the shackles and living the life he wanted to live.
Lots of light for you!
