Finding Your Life's Purpose

Living A Determined Life Helps Find Your Life's Purpose 

The purpose of our lives is to give birth 

to the best which is within us.

Marianne Williamson

A life without purpose is a languid, drifting thing. Every day we ought to review our purpose, saying to ourselves "This day let me make a sound beginning, for what I have hitherto done is naught!"

Thomas à Kepmis

Your life's purpose has two fundamental components ── humanistic and spiritual. Sometimes these two are aligned, and sometimes they are in battle with one another for your focus and commitment. 

When they are aligned,  personal, family and career life will be in sync with one's spiritual needs. When they are not aligned, one's spiritual purpose will need to be fulfilled outside vocational, family or personal activities. In some situations people use their vocation and careers simply as a means to provide sufficient financial resources, time and security to pursue their life's purpose elsewhere.

If you are truly lucky, your spiritual purpose will be fulfilled through the love you share with another person. When you find a soul mate who loves you in return your spirit overcomes all the misdemeanors performed by your human side. 

This soul mate need not be a lover, and can even be one's child, friend, parent, spiritual guide, or anyone else where a deep connection at the soul level is made and maintained.

Your life's purpose is connected most importantly to your soul. Hence, your life's purpose is intertwined and linked to the kindness and comfort you provide to others. 

We may never know, in this lifetime, what our true purpose is. Probably only a small percentage of people ever do ── mostly, of course, because only a tiny percentage of people actually give this any thought, unlike those who embark on a Project You Life Journey path.
