Knowing your life purpose

So often, people allow fear and insecurities to trick them into postponing their dream.  Your mind may echo that you are not ready to take the next step and provide endless excuses to rationalize staying where you think you are, doing something you dislike. However, the ways you focus and see things always serves you.  Its up to you to realize how.

As you step back and watch the ego mind, you may notice it tells you that you have other priorities.  You may notice it echos you do not have the time, money, skills, training or degrees to realize a given goal.  This kind of talk plays on your self-worth and can deflate your enthusiasm and confidence, but only if you permit that. Fears and insecurities exist when you believe in them and allow them to hold you back.

Observing your own thoughts also helps you begin to realize the ego has motives for saying what it does.  You can appreciate what it has to say and you can also choose not to allow it to keep you from doing what inspires you.  Why not Be your Dream? This choose-your-own adventure is like a kaleidoscope with infinite realities.

Hi Liara .. I feel my life purpose is opening its wings ... the fruits are there for me to feed from and to enjoy this understanding and a reason for being, that I've never fully understood before. Thanks Hilary

I think we can use this information

Preparation negates Adventure. One feels most energized when they adapt to what has arrived as it arises, without peaking around the corner. Each moment is then a peak experience.

Perhaps the sense of ego-purpose then dissolves if there is no prep work. Inspiration is then received by letting go of desired outcomes where one then lives in spirit. This then can also be described as living On (One) or In purpose where the purpose is to flow through or with everything.

Hilary, as you begin to grasp that you are conditioned from birth to fit into a system, you are empowered to step back to see that purposes are narrowed based on conditioning. You also begin to sense purpose is shifting from the perspective of mind and unchanging from perspective of soul.

Bern, you are always in the perfect conditions. You experience situations that empower you to recognize the significance of and grasp your feelings. You get the reality you create and feel constantly balanced or not. You choose to question your purpose at different stages of life or allow things to flow every moment. You always gain insight you are meant to gain. As you reconnect with source, you take it back and continue expanding as one being. Notice people who believe their purpose is static or whether they seem to beat their head against the wall. As time accelerates, purpose can also be a blur, seem irrelevant or unnecessary.

I sense people are so often scared of their "dreams", of giving themselves permission to just go for it. To give themselves permission to succeed in what they love to do, and to be at peace with what they are doing. So the excuses begin, and perpetuate. When one finally sheds the fear, they take down the walls they have erected to keep the "boogy man" out, and realize that it was all just a figment of their imagination.

My motto "Do What You Love, and Love What You Do" is a daily inspiration and reminder. Within it I remember that even in those times that I am doing something that might differ from my "life dream" that there are beautiful blessings in all that I do, and it is the perfect teacher for me in that moment. And when it no longer serves me, I take another step along the journey of life in dream land.

You inspire me to Feel my life purpose.

Roxanne, everything is a useful as you are open and receptive to it.

Stacey, I sense you would appreciate the post entitled "Overthinking" on this blog. The 71 comments there offer diverse perspectives on the subject.
It is nice to know you feel inspired to allow a sense of purpose to flow. This quote by Eckhart Tolle resonates with deeper soul:

"Instead of asking 'what do I want from life?,' a more powerful question is, "what does life want from me?"

In essence, we get mixed messages about dreams and purpose from the media, from mentors, role models and also from people we know. Everyone has a view on what is best for you through their eyes, through how they see. You know yourself better than all of them. You allow or resist this knowing. What if you are always doing the right thing for you at a given moment? Why is it that the restless mind wants you to focus on dissatisfaction? Why let it? Only you can answer.
