Purpose?
Every day people stand up, go down, eat up, drive through, sit down, work through, stand up, drive back, eat up, lay down, repeat.
I see this people and ask myself what drives them. Why they do it. Have they found a purpose in life which gives them the power to go on or are they like the others and just pretending that they figured everything out and in the inside they panicing about their decisions, if their decisions where right, if they should or should not do that, should they risk or should they be save.
Lots of people think money is their purpose and later they are unhappy, others think that a family is the only thing they need til they need to provide for them or that a baby will save their marriage. And then there are the people who think love is everything, that one person in the whole world is the chosen one, who will give them a purpose in live. That are the worst of them all.
I think everyone of us has at least one talent. A talent hidden under all the shit, and stones, and crumbles of what we can’t do, what we got said we can’t do. And so we forget or even hate our talent, think we are never good enough, cause people say. „No you can’t be an artist, it will never pay your bills, it will never make you happy, cause you never can provide for everyone.“ You can’t be a musican, you can’t be an actor, you can’t be a mechanic as a woman, you can’t be a dancer as a man.
And so you start your career, you study, you graduate, you get your first job and you say to other people that they can’t do stuff because it’s not save or not common enough, that it doesn’t provide, that it is just a dream they try to catch but never will reach.
You suddenly turn into a gear of gears just functioning and doing your work from day to day. With greed to the people above you and pity and disgust for the people beneath you and suddenly you are one of them who lost it. Who lost what they thought as kids would be awesome. Life. And they hate themsevles for it.
It’s because you missing something. They miss something, but they don’t know what.
What is missing in a world you have and can become everything?
I think it is purpose. And I don’t mean that religious crap. I mean I admire people who find their purpose in their believe. It’s a beautiful thing. But BELIEVE not Religion. But that’s an other topic. Purpose is what drives you through the day and lets you feel full when you lay in your bed. Food does that too for your body, purpose does it for your soul.
Lot’s of people searching for their purpose all their life, they look for their purpose in the world. Outside of themselves, while they already have it inside of them, but not seeing it. Lot’s of people get unhappy and unsatisfied because of that. They think other people have to make them happy or other things, while you always can make yourself happy by just showing your talent. Your talent to listen, to sing, to smile, to see the bright side, to help people, to understand people and so on. But we think that has no worth, cause other think theirs is nothing worth too, cause we got teached that being something else is something bad.
So your purpose isn’t to look for your purpose, but to be your own purpose and inspire others to find theirs, to inspire people, to not be a gear but be your own whole machine, energized by your own energy. To go for your talents, no matter what. to believe not in others but in yourself and get strength through it to go through your day.
You sit here in bed, your working table or your couch right now on your Phone, Laptop or PC. Reading words from someone you don’t know, Disapprove it or Approve it. While you could do what you are good at, what you are meant to be. What in the basic of it all, makes you yourself.
So I ask you.
What is your purpose in life?
