Finding your life's purpose

by Eugene Pitout

Created on: July 20, 2011   Last Updated: July 21, 2011

A better question would be to ask if there really is such a thing as a purpose? Well yes and no. Let's begin with no and work our way around to purpose and how to attain it..

We live in the realm of infinite potential or an unconditional loving God if you will. Any way you colour the story can work. I can say you create your reality and your destiny. I can also say God loves you unconditionally and will give you anything you desire. In both cases I am, talking about the same thing here so don’t get hung up on the words but rather see where they point.

The fact is we live within an unconditional reality where we can plot and create any destiny we choose. We are a smaller dream within the bigger dream of God. We are the children of God. We are co-creators in this illusion we like to call life. Often people miss the enormous meaning of the word “unconditional” and place some criteria to 'qualify' for something.

Christians I grew up with demanded that you have to go to Church to reach heaven one day. That is a condition. Many spiritual and religious modalities teach that we have to do something to achieve some level of power or status with our deities. Those are all conditions. Now I can say you need to have a purpose. Another condition. There is nothing you should do.

No there really cannot be a purpose in an unconditional reality. So if you don’t have a purpose don’t fret about it. Relax into life itself and life will change you. The awakening of your own passion might trigger you to reach a purpose in your life but that is all your choices in the happening.

Let’s move to the yes part of this argument. You could have chosen a life with destiny before you incarnated. That is entirely possible and probable. It is said that often after death a person looks at his life and realizes where they could have made different choices to achieve different outcomes and then incarnate to do that. That then would dictate a purpose chosen by your very own self.

We do that and I entirely enjoy the knowing of this but remember once we are born we become indoctrinated with society and almost always we try to narrow our purpose down to a job of some kind. This means your purpose for being could be to fulfill a soul contract of being a liability to your family in some way.  In the meantime you are free to do whatever you choose. It’s most often not necessarily a job, but what a blessing if you can make a living off it.
