Uncertain Life Purpose
11:49 PM |

For the majority of my adult life I have been trying to figure out my purpose in life. My interests are many and span dozens of different fields. It has been more than difficult to decide what career path I should choose. I have a great love of art and technology, but I also have a love of philosophy and spirituality. I keep wondering how I can combine all my interests into a field that would be rewarding not only financially, but fulfilling to my soul. I need to make a living at what I love and I need to love how I'm making a living. I believe the divine has given me the talents that I possess. I don't believe that these talents will or should be wasted.
I hear from many people that they fell into something that they love, but I also hear from many people that they can't making anything work. I ask them one question, "If you could do anything, what would it be?" I get a variety of responses, but each response tells me so much about the person. Each person was put on this Earth for a purpose, and that purpose is unique to the individual.
I do remember my mother telling me that when I was very young even before I started school, telling her that I wanted to be a teacher. I had always assumed that meant an academic teacher, but I'm not sure that is the case anymore. I believe that I am supposed to be a life teacher. I believe that I am supposed to help people find their way and discover their talents. I have always had a way to inspire and motivate people in finding their talents and using their talents.
I remember one ex of mine telling me that I had changed his life. It was an awesome feeling knowing that a 17 year helped him find another way and find hope that he could be better than he was telling himself. I had never realized that I could have such a profound impact on someone's life.
I think I have been afraid of my own power and my own abilities. I belittled myself on a regular basis, because that was all I knew. It was only when I began to accept who I was and who I would be that my life began to change. I had given all those people who put me down and told me I was worthless, all the power. My ego had all the power, even though I thought of myself worthless. Recently, I began to accept myself and like me, that's when I pushed my ego aside and let the divine in me take over. My ego still creeps up, but it is much easier to deal with than before.
Now that I have a better grip on ego and am beginning to put mine in check, I can begin to fulfill my life's purpose, which is learning, teaching and creating. I want to learn all I can to help people. I want to teach people what I have learned so that others can benefit. I want to create a world of peace, understanding and mutual respect. I believe that is possible because anything is possible.
In Love and Respect,
Rachel
