We all have a purpose in life. People of faith believe this is predetermined for us by a higher power, but still can struggle to figure out what exactly that purpose is. I'm not a person of faith so I definitely don't think my purpose was predetermined. I've recently been struggling to figure out who I am let alone figure out my life purpose. I think the problem stems with thinking our purpose has to be a significant one. Yes, we should all make a difference, touch someones life, or change something for the better. But does it have to be something huge like saving the world from evil doers? I don't think so.
No matter what your belief system is we all touch other peoples lives everyday. So I think we need to start within ourselves, and what I mean by this is if we are not happy with who we are, or happy with what we do in life how can we project that onto others? Whether it be at work, school, or in our own community we all effect the people around us. Sometimes we are doing it knowingly, and other times we may not. I think that's where we lose knowing our purpose. If we don't see the effects, or we're not recognized for something we've done we automatically assume we haven't accomplished anything. But you can make a difference in the world by doing the smallest things in life that can make a big difference in someone else's life.
If your passion is music, drawing, writing, collecting, share it with someone. If you like to help those in need spend time with an elderly neighbor, be a foster parent, coach little league, teach a child to read. Being a good mother, father, aunt, uncle also gives you purpose. Help a friend who has a problem. Be there when you are needed. Going to work, school, church, sport events, concerts, all give you purpose. Your purpose started the day you were born. No matter how big, or how small ,your purpose in life is whatever you choose it to be. So, stop rattling your brain over it, and get out there and live.
