Maybe Your Life Purpose Is That You Learn About Yourself

Allow people to help you. They’re afraid it’s not important enough, or selfless enough, or whatever enough. And it certainly doesn’t mean that you matter any less. Maybe your life purpose is that you learn about yourself and the world on this journey of life, you do your best to be a good person and be kind to people, and help some people who need help. Second, I firmly believe that many of us won’t just have one thing. And that’s okay. Many women feel uneasy if they want to change their mind every few years, afraid that they’ll seem uncommitted or flighty. But what if you think something is your calling, you go after it, and turns out it’s not? Imagine for a sec that it’s actually no big deal. How many times have you bought something from a catalog or online, tried it on, and decided that it wasn’t right? On the return form, usually there are boxes that say wrong color, wrong fit, not as pictured, and changed mind. It’s just not a big deal to them, apparently. Just a box to check. If you want to change your mind, give yourself a break.

All The Butterflies Have Broken Wings

Personally, I think it’s braver to admit you want to change course and then make it happen than to suffer a passionless life. If you’re stressing the hell out about that, relax. It doesn’t mean you’re less of an important person. It doesn’t mean you’re a failure if you don’t find it. All it means is that your purpose might not be something specific that you do. Who you are and what you represent is purposeful enough. What is that thing you love doing? You know, the thing you can get lost in and lose track of time. Is there something you love to read about, research, and find out everything you can about it? Maybe it’s something you used to do as a kid but haven’t in a while for whatever reason. I started writing as a kid and wrote all through my teen years. In my twenties, I stopped. When I picked it back up in my early thirties, I had no idea how much I had missed it. It was as if the floodgates had opened.

In Your Corner

I gorged on writing. Even if you think it’s silly, try to reconnect with those things you used to do as a child. Or maybe it’s not a thing you have but a message. Take a moment to imagine you’re with an enormous group of people sitting in front of an empty stage. You have thirty seconds to tell everyone what’s in your heart. What will you say to them? Here’s another angle. Many times people feel a calling toward, and become passionate about, the very thing that has caused them pain and suffering. Hard times can be pivotal points that shape us and make us stronger. What if you could help people who are dealing with the same circumstances you once did? Or help create awareness and become an advocate for a particular condition or situation? Many times, these opportunities are right in front of our faces. Keep in mind that whether you find your passion or purpose today, next month, or in ten years, it’s the right time for you. The timing and the process of it all is your own unique recipe. He or she doesn’t necessarily have to be gorgeous, or start throwing cash around the room.

Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word

No, this person just has something that draws others in. And you’d give your right arm to know what it is that is so super awesome about that person. That person loves herself. Confidence is about believing in yourself. It’s like the perfect feast for your soul. Ask a woman what her menstrual cycle is like or how she takes her coffee and she can tell you in great detail. Do you think you’re awesome? Do you love yourself unconditionally? If you answered no to any or all of these questions, we’ve got some work to do, sister! In a nutshell, it’s embracing your imperfect self. Forgiving yourself for any past mistakes and moving forward. Not contingent on your particular circumstances, how much pain you’re in, what you look like, or how much money you have. One that starts with accepting who and where you are right now in this moment, no matter what is happening in or around you. No matter what you’ve been through in the past. Make the decision right now to love yourself. And you are absolutely worth fighting for. You might be thinking, Is it really that easy? Yes, you can say those words to yourself. So why not choose the best thoughts that will bring you the best life? You want to choose positive thoughts that come from a place of love in your heart, not the fearful thoughts that are in your head. When you love yourself, the right people will be attracted to you and show up in your life. Other people with good thoughts and good energy will want to be around you. It’s time to be your own biggest fan, a legend even! You don’t have to announce it or have a vanity license plate telling everyone how awesome you think you are. At first, it can be your own little secret. Take responsibility for your life. Notice where you blame others or circumstances for your unhappiness or lack of fulfillment. Forgive people if you need to. Forgive yourself for your past. Own your story and at the same time love yourself for it. Everyone has a messy past. Set healthy boundaries. Believe you are worth what you want. And I mean everything now. See a therapist or counselor. Accept praise and compliments. If you don’t love yourself, it’s hard to respect and believe in yourself. It’s hard to know you are worth anything. And it’s really hard to follow through with goals, to set good intentions, and to step into your destiny.
