The importance of love in finding a life purpose

by Linda Sajiw

Created on: June 08, 2009

Love is the most important ingredient for finding a life purpose. Now does this mean finding the right partner to fulfill a dream for us? Must we have a partner to love and support us and give us focus in life? The answer is no. If we are connected to our purpose and living from a love base then people show up naturally that support us from a place of love. We won't have to conform to their way of thinking, either.

I know when I see someone doing something that is different I make a point of saying something. This is because I know that few people really understand the person that is doing something that may be a little "out there" compared with the current mainstream teachings in the world.

If we are actually looking to get love from someone else without even knowing or honouring the love that comes from within us then we are just drawing the life force from those around us in all areas of the relatioships we engage in.

When we partner with the Infinite love that comes from our Soul and higher aspects of our self then what we do is receive love instead of take love and compete for love. The greatest challenges we will ever experience in life are linked with our purpose, which is the means by which we express our love in the world.

When we are able to receive love from the core of who we are we will have someone as a partner as well as others who will touch us at our core essence and still be there. At this point our human self is in communion and on the journey of integrating physically our Soul and purpose. If we are coming from the core wounding in our life then we will go from relationship to relationship looking for love rather than be focused on the relationship with our self first. We will also deflect real love relationship because it doesn't fit our image of what love should be.

The level of love relationship we have with ourself will determine the level of love we will be able to receive from another. If our love is strictly physical then we will have strictly physical relationships with others and be cutting off whole other aspects of who we are.

Self love is crucial in finding a purpose for our lives. If we have not connected with our own essence of love then basically we are living from fear while taking on the beliefs of what everybody thinks we should be. We become like chameleons just changing our colours to suit an environment we find attractive. We will have a romanticized view of life that looks to doing good deeds rather than
