Lately, the idea of ‘Purpose’ has been in my
line of focus (I completed a show with Tom Campbell on Purpose). Purpose is this
interesting concept that we have. We believe that our purpose is somehow tied
up with our identity. So we have this grandiose concept of ‘what we do’ is ‘who
we are’. What I mean by this is that we identify with what we do, what our
‘work’ is as part of our identity. And we also believe that as we define
ourselves by what we do, our ‘purpose’ is somehow linked to our work. And our
‘purpose’ is our Soul’s Purpose. Our ‘purpose’ is ‘Who we are’, what our Soul
has decided to work on in this life.
We also look outside ourselves for assistance
to uncover this elusive ‘purpose’ in hopes that someone else can direct us to
our living our highest potential and our new ‘work’ will be reflected within
this discovery by someone outside ourselves. I always find it amazing that we
put our hopes in another’s hands to tell us what our whole life has been
telling us.
Every core issue is uncovering our ‘purpose’!
Every dream and turn we have made in our lives has been to right us on the path
of discovery of Who we are. What we chose as our higher education – even for
those who were pushed by their parents into their unfulfilled or chosen field.
How we live our lives. Every relationship. All these have helped us uncover
this potential of who we are!
The problem of course is that we often are not
our ‘authentic’ self and we are looking outside ourselves for our validation in
hopes of discovering this ideal. As Tom Campbell suggests our Purpose is to
Grow-up and BE Love.
A crystal child in the book “Communication
with Children of Now” by Meg Blackburn Losey suggests we have two purposes: a
major purpose is to ‘make a difference’ and the other purpose is to enjoy the
game. Tom has added to the major purpose of this crystal child to not make
‘making a difference’ the goal, but to be motivated to BE caring and
compassionate to others. This may seem like a subtle difference but if you are
just doing things like volunteering because it’s the ‘right’ thing to do
because it will make a difference in this world, then you aren’t doing it from
your heart. Which means eventually you will bring your ego into this process,
you will resent that some people get paid, that people are ‘doing it wrong’ and
you will try to fix, change, or manipulate the ‘service’ and eventually be very
unfulfilled and resentful because your ego is taking over your volunteer work.
Offering to do volunteer works because you love it, because you want to care
for others, and because you are a compassionate person mean you will enjoy it
without involving your ego.
Our purpose really isn’t this elusive ‘thing’
that we do or have to discover. It is the Gift of Who we are! It may carry over
into our work but our work isn’t what defines us. In fact, we could fulfill our
purpose in everything we do. If we are BEing authentic, if we are BEing
ourselves then we naturally are our work. Meaning, someone who is a
‘leader’ will be learning all their lives about leading. They would have had
early experiences of both good and bad examples of leading; they would have
done both good and bad examples of leading; and they will lead wherever they
are or in whatever they do. We don’t just all of a sudden have someone tell us
our ‘purpose’ and we have nothing to do with this information.
However, we may not be aware of our ‘gifts’
consciously and this is often because we don’t always have an unbiased view of
our world. And we are usually attached to BEing a certain way. So it is
possible that we haven’t seen that from our childhoods we have always loved to
communicate, that we have always been very social and extraverted, or that we
have always enjoyed writing stories, blogs and exploring other ways to
communicate. However, it should be no surprise that our purpose is to
communicate because we have had many examples in our lives and probably
‘communicating’ is a large part of the lessons you are learning in your life.
Do you see how this works? Our purpose is who we are and what we are learning
in this life.
And if we are not be able to see what we do
best our friends and family can often be the ones who can tell us what or who
we are.
One of the ‘gifts’ in this life is uncovering
the magic that lies in our lessons, in our struggles, and in our choices that
we have made in our relationships. Experiencing this magic helps us free up so
much energy and love within us. Remembering ‘who we are’ is so empowering when
we can discover it ourselves when we find the magic in our lessons. And so it
is important to know that all the struggles, pain and fears we have endured are
part of the process of uncovering our Gifts and Purpose. And when we realize
that this is all part of the Divine plan to own who we are and to live our
Purpose it frees us from the struggle!
I invite you to find a way to BE who you are
and express your Gifts through your Purpose in life. Then we can do the
secondary purpose the young crystal child saw, which is to finally have FUN and
enJOY the game of life!
