Haven't Found Your Purpose? Choose Again And Persevere

In both the grand design and in the unremarkable minutiae of everyday existence — purpose unfolds. As obscure and insignificant as the shards of meaning may seem their function is to guide you to your destiny. The impediment to realizing your true purpose is as the distance from fragile form to pure elation. The chasm from what is, to what could be, is the width and breadth of that aspect of yourself known as ego.

Ego contends you are separate from all that is - separate from things, separate from other people - separate from God. Ego is the nature of your being anchored firmly in the material world. To survive in what appears a threatening landscape ego seeks power and covets control. Ego demands to be noticed and intends to dominate.

Human beings live life in a dualistic nature - the mystery of it all an apparent paradox. Puppets on a string, lost in the world of form, directed by the intentions of ego, we live amongst shadows. Vainly we interpret reflections on a wall. Reluctant to embrace the realization that life is more than it seems, we yield to fear and hide from the light of revelation. In this brick and mortar creation we lack understanding and grovel at the indulgences of ego. We compete to succeed, compete to survive.

The truth is, you need not live this way. While experiencing this reality of polar opposites you can seize upon the truth. While you are in this world, you are not of this world. You do not have to succumb to the will and fear of ego. Your nature is divine. While in this creation you maintain the capacity to shape your experience. You are creator. And as creator you can choose how to navigate the passage, how to fulfill your destiny. You have a choice.

Will is the point of decision, the synapse of choice. Will is the element of character that merges feelings, yearnings (wants, needs, desires) with viable options, and chooses. Each choice is either guided in harmony with life's purpose or influenced by a scheming, power-hungry ego. Every choice is an opportunity to select wisely in concert with the grand design or an ego-grounded pick doomed to lead through suffering to a similar point of decision once again.

Life has meaning. Your life has meaning. You have a purpose, a purpose to fulfill - a mission to achieve. Fulfill your purpose. Achieve your mission. Meet your destiny with playful abandon. If you haven't yet found your purpose choose again and persevere. Unbounded opportunity and great experiences await.
