How to Find Your Own Purpose

Something motivates you to get up each day. That something says a good deal about your current central purpose in life. If you eventually get out of bed
because you don’t want to be sacked from your job, then your purpose has to do with money and security. If you get up because of what people might think if
you didn’t, then you are motivated by a fear of disapproval.

A person’s life is already an expression of their purpose, whether this purpose operates consciously or subconsciously. If you are driven by a purpose you’re
not conscious of, then it’s likely to have roots in fear. Motivation of this kind is usually conditioned into us, whether we like it or not.

Some people don’t believe in purpose – “just get on with life”, “take things as they come” – these are common phrases, yet they are also clear descriptions of
purpose masquerading as lack of purpose. The unspoken purpose here is continued physical survival. Basic survival and social conformity are common
motivations, but why limit yourself to mundane, inferior soap opera scenarios when you can reach for the stars?

Conclusion

You have the ability to achieve all you could possibly want to be, do or have. Remember, however, that in order to HAVE, you first must DO something, and
in order to DO something, you first must BECOME the person to whom success comes naturally.

'A goal is a dream with a date! Don't let fear get in the way of dreaming big:

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most
frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you NOT to be? You are a child of God. Your
playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to
make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us, it is in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give
other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others”.
Marianne Williamson ~ 1952-, American Author of “A Return To Love” Lecturer on Spirituality
