I strongly believe each of us has a primary purpose in life. When we discover it varies. I knew mine at a very young age. I never deviated from that and hence, have been largely happy throughout my life.
And like most categories, there are also subtitles….purposes within a purpose. These are more time related. In other words, short time purposes. When we are focused upon a short term purpose our problems usually shrink in comparison. What does this tell us?
I think that we need more short termed purposes. One of mine is to insure that my offspring have pleasant memories and warm feelings of support. To that end, one of my daughters and I will soon embark upon a two week venture of her choice. It’s not about costs or time or place, it’s about the purpose of making someone that I care about happy.
So what is your purpose? If the answer doesn’t come to you immediately, take a few quiet moments to think about that.
