One of the most liberating experiences of our human life is finding our mission here on Earth. There is so much joy and excitement in finding our purpose in life. I strongly believe every single one of us has a unique mission to fulfil in this lifetime. By discovering this mission (doesn’t matter how big or small we think it might be) will help us grow in many ways.
When I was a child I was very curious about life in general, as all children are. I often kept asking myself: “Why am I here? What is the meaning of this journey? Similar type of questions were following me everywhere and they still do. Of course there is even more of them now. The good news is, the older I get, this journey is making more sense to me. Ever since I learnt to listen to the voice of my soul, the answers to these questions come to me quite naturally. I am always adventuring and more and more aligning with my life’s purpose, which I believe I have already discovered. My soul and the Universe are constantly showing me the way, and I am willingly following the call.
So you might be asking yourself: “Do I have a purpose here? How can I find it?” First and foremost I would like you to know, that all the answers to these questions lie within you. Secondly, I have some suggestions, which can help to put you on the right track of discovering your mission. They certainly helped me, therefore I’ve decided to share them in this blog. Get inspired, try them and see how you get on.
1. What do you like to do, that you would even do, if you don’t get paid for it?
I love inspiring others and talking about topics I strongly believe in and I care about. I can talk for hours about spirituality, creativity, dreams, about flying and adventuring. It brings so much joy to my soul when people get inspired by these conversations. This is one of the reasons I believe my purpose in life is inspiring others and helping them to find their true gifts, so they can share them with the world. I’m sure you have some hobbies and activities that make you happy and excited. This is a sign that you are on the right path of discovering your purpose. Can you think of some ways you could make those activities even more exciting? Would you be brave enough to share your art with some friends, colleagues or perhaps with a much wider audience on a social media? Would you like to inspire others by the work you do? For example: Do you like writing, but you never shared any of your work with other people? Choose a topic you are excited about, write a great blog and share it with your friends. Are you a musician, but you are afraid to perform in public and worried people may reject you? Make a home video playing your musical instrument and share it on a social media. You never know how many people you might inspire. Maybe somebody is in a similar position (scared to share their music with others) and you may be the one giving them “permission” to share their work with the world. There is a reason why you are drawn to certain things. It’s a sign from the Universe, and this can easily be part of your purpose in life or it can lead you to it. Don’t ignore this call. Whatever it is that you love doing, keep doing it. Maybe one day, even without knowing how it happened, this can become your full time job. Get creative, face your fears and have fun in this process!
2. What did you like to do when you were a child?
I like to call myself a multi-passionate artist. Ever since I was a little girl, I had lots of hobbies and enjoyed many creative activities. My sister and I are very fortunate to have a parents who always supported our dreams. We are both very aware of that and therefore extremely grateful. I have always been drawn to the theatres and concert halls. I love writing stories, poems and composing music. I was a soloist in choir, ballerina and I played piano for many years. I always knew I belong to the world of creatives. What I didn’t know at the time, this was the way my soul wished to express itself in this world. I can see very clearly now, how is this list linked to my life’s purpose. Here is a question for you. Can you think of any activities you liked doing as a child? Anything you could spent hours doing and never got bored of? Take a pen and paper and list as many of those hobbies as you can. There is a magic in writing things down. You will see right in front of you what you have done all those years ago, and this can be a good indication which can lead you to your life purpose.
3. There are no coincidences
Many things you have ever done in life happened for a reason (your present or past jobs, learning interesting subject at school, meeting somebody who inspired you). There is no doubt these things can to lead you to your purpose in life. For example: You were learning a foreign language at school and many years later you are living in a country which speaks that language. Or you have been on an aeroplane as a young child and the Captain was a female. This has inspired you to take your first flying lesson and now you are soon to be qualified as a pilot. Somebody randomly mentioned something in a conversation and ever since that experience you can’t stop thinking about it or you may see many signs of it everywhere you turn. This could also lead you on the road of discovering your purpose. I really believe there are no coincidences in this Universe. Everything is happening for a reason. The higher power of our beautiful Universe is presenting you those ideas, because you are more than capable of doing something with them. And you are going to do this in your own special way, like nobody else. This could make a great contribution to this world and you would feel amazing. You have a special life purpose here on Earth and you can fulfil this purpose without any doubts by having the belief, the patience, the right approach, the persistence and the desire to make this world a better place just by being you. Believe in yourself and follow your calling!
