What's Your Purpose For Life?
Nov 30, 2005

      
                                        http://icreatemovie.com/


Learn to think on different levels.  Consider four people talking about from what we are made.  The first person says that we are made of flesh, bone, and blood.  The second person says, "Actually, we are mostly made of water".  The third says, "Well, if you really want to know, we are mostly empty space".  The fourth says "No, we are really only light - just pure light!"


Which is correct?  All of them are correct, it just depends on the level of which you are thinking.  Similarly, there can be ten purposes of life.  Many questions in life are posed as "either, or" questions and most often the answer is both!

The purpose of life is to.............

1.  Share Your Love.  If you truly pursue this purpose, all the others will follow naturally!  Love everyone, but start with those closest to you.

2.  Give to Others.  We are here to serve others, and not live wholly for ourselves.  Make a difference in the world.

3.  Increase in Light.  Our spirits and bodies can literally flow with light.  Increase your light bearing capacity by following the truth you know.

4.  Learn Wisdom.  Read the best books and learn all you can.  Pursue wisdom not as an end it itself, but to better serve others with your increased knowledge and talents.

5.  Accept Yourself.  Flow with who you are.  Your birth, parents, and country all have a reason.  Accept your purpose and your inclinations.  Feel and flow with your emotions.

6.  Enjoy the Mystery.  Wonder at the beauty of life.  Don't try to figure everything out intellectually.  Accept the world as a child does.

7.  Create Your Reality.  In this sphere, you can choose what you do.  Be bold and decide what you really want.  Move toward your dreams with vision and power! 

8.  Follow the Spirit.  Trust that inner voice that leads and prompts you.  As you listen, you will gain greater inspiration in all daily activities.

9.  Revel in the Present.  Find joy and engagement in every activity.  Recognize your point of power in present action!  Come to know the illusion of time.

10.  Experience Joy.  The ultimate purpose of life is happiness, but happiness comes easier when pursued indirectly.  

Notice that nowhere in the top ten is the purpose, "Make as much money as possible." However, wealth can help you by freeing up your focus to pursue the top ten.

Pursue the first nine, and the tenth (joy) will flow automatically to you.  Abundance will flow to you also.

Within each and every one of us is the Source of the energy that powers that which is life itself. This Source would be like unto a battery, with the exception that this battery never runs out of power. It is infinite. It is the one thing within us that is a direct part of God! Everything that is added over it, over the course of time, is then ultimately, what we have become. That spark of energy that is our Source is infinite. That part that is accumulated over it, is not.

Great share, Melissa! I could see in numbers 10, 3 plus 4 and 2, my own three purposes of life. Cezar.

"The main purpose of life is to live rightly, think rightly, act rightly. The Soul must languish when we give all our thought to the body." -- Mahatma Gandhi, 1936.

If you break things down to the atomic, or even the sub-atomic level, even water is made of energy, which we perceive as light, so with that in mind,

Love, Hope, Peace, & The Light Is With Us All,
