Why Are You Here?
Adapted from The Spontaneous Fulfillment of Desire by Deepak Chopra (Three Rivers Press, 2003).
Ask yourself, Why am I here? Write down the first thing that comes to mind. This question is open to many interpretations, so jot down whatever thoughts it triggers. Don’t worry about the writing itself. You don’t even have to use complete sentences.
Then pose the question again: Why am I here? Write down a new response. Do this 20 times. Keep looking for different ways to interpret the question so that each answer is unique and speaks to a different facet of the question.
Now look over your responses. What did they tell you? Do you see any patterns or progression in the answers? What does this tell you about how you see your life?
You can see your life as a series of external and internal events, but you can also learn to see these events as connected to each other and with something more spiritual. When you do that, you will begin to see your life as an opportunity to share the special gift you alone can bestow upon the world. That’s the one answer to the question of why you are here. Having that kind of clarity of purpose will help you focus your intentions.

add your comment »I believe I am here because God wants me here, I do what I think he wants me too, I try to live the life he would want, I try to help animal and human. I also am not afraid to say, If you are in need, Pray, don't be afraid to say God. Do not feel ashamed of believing, or of supporting our wonderful people who are defending our country, right or wrong I don't know, but I do know, they are giving their lives for what they believe in. I am not there, I do not see first hand if it is right or wrong. Lastly, support one another, even if you disagree in what they believe.
God Bless us all.

to love God and myself and others unconditionally,to accept that we all are different therefore no need to compare or be jealous,awake thou that sleepth and know thyself,to acquire awareness, knowledge and understanding,to live in the here and now this moment, to balance my life with worship,love,work and recreation,to be me and not to pretend to be something I am not,to have respect for myself and others to forgive myself and others,to be responsible for my thoughts,words and actions and never blame others,or judge others or try to change others,to pray for those known and unknown to behold the divine in everyone even the unloveable but not for the love of God cause God loves us just as we are ,,be who you are, to always be aware that it is not what I say or do that matters so much but what matters is how I make you feel,BE Well whole,and fulfilled and complete.

My first response brought: I am here to help, to support, to lead, to explain, to comfort ... and, to bring joy, realization and warmth.
I will ask myself this question again, and again.
Feels good.

I like the idea of being here for 'bliss'.
What came to my mind was: I am here to help, to support, to lead, to explain, to comfort, to bring joy, realization and warmth.
This is my first response. I will ask myself this question again, and again.
Feels good.
