Finding Purpose

How does letting go and finding one's purpose in life go together. We each go down the path that leads us to our current job. But some people become unhappy as to the job they work at. They stay at their jobs for a couple of reasons. The big reason is they like the money that they receive from the job because it helps them and their families live well. They also stay at one job because they become comfortable, that even the idea of changing anything in their lives gives them much pain.

Each of us have a purpose for this life. When we are not living up to that purpose, we feel an inner feeling of knowing. If we do not recognize this feeling, it will manifest in our lives as impatiance, frustration, and a focusing on the problems and a feeling of helplessness that they cannot fix the problems.

What we need to do is to become conscious of at what is happining in our feelings and thoughts. Noticing what others say about you, will give you an idea as to what your purpose is. Write down a dream list as to what you want to do. Get specific. Explore your feelings and thoughts closely. Then come up with a plan to bring those dreams into you life. This plan will help you learn to let go your old self and manifest your new self, one living your purpose.
