What is my purpose? Why am I here? These are the top
two questions that most people ask themselves throughout
their entire life. Many people never find the answer.

Finding your life's purpose is a necessity to live a
happy and fulfilling life. Sometimes your life purpose
will find you.

If we lived in a world where everyone was living their
highest divine purpose, we would literally have heaven

on earth. Everyone's highest purpose involves benefiting
the whole. To give you a clue of what your higher purpose
may be, I guarantee you that it is something that will
benefit humanity, benefit the earth and benefit your soul.

I believe the first step to discovering your life purpose
is to be aware that you have one. If you are reading this
article, you are probably already there. The next step is
to continue to ask the question, that we began this article
with, 'What is my divine purpose?'. When you continue to
ask your higher power a question, the answer will appear.
It's your job to be aware, when the answer does appear.

Your highest purpose will be something that you have natural
skills at, a natural interest in and it will be something that
you naturally love doing. You may notice that I used the word
'naturally' before all of those qualities. Your highest purpose
is what you were 'naturally' born to do. The reason why so many
people get off purpose is because they are making decisions
and living their life according to what they think they 'should'
do, based on what family, religion, society and many other outside
sources say that they should be doing. To find your highest purpose,
you must erase all 'shoulds' from your life. Replace those 'shoulds'
with 'want' or 'feel'. Instead of "I should be do....", replace that
with "I want to..." or "I feel like doing....". If it does not harm
or take away from another person, the earth or yourself, go for it!

Let's explore your highest purpose. We now know that whatever your
purpose is, it will benefit humanity, the earth and your spirit.
Now let us look at your natural skills, interests and passions.

I would encourage you to grab a pen and pad of paper, get quiet,
close your eyes and take some deep breathes and start to imagine
what your greatest skills, interest and passions are. Imagine
the things that you absolutely love to do. Think of those activities,
that when you are doing them, time doesn't exist for you. Now write
down everything that comes to mind, don't analyze your answers, just
write as soon as you feel or think of these skills, interests and passions.
