It's great to read this thread and see all the insights everyone has about themselves and each other. Totally. Awesome! :P

Also, thansk to you Rose. What you said about being brilliant and everyone telling you that you are brilliant, just making you angry, I never understood that until now. I found myself in the same situation, it was a response, when people would praise me for something I'd done that took no effort I'd be pissed off because they didn't know what was really going on and it also highlighted when people didn't praise me for those things I put actual effort into. And worse than that, they never knew what was really going on.

As for life purpose, I believe people have a life purpose that most resonates with who they really are. It doesn't mean that you need to find it, or that there's only one, or even that there's anything wrong with not finding it. But if someone does find it, the kind of power and creation they can cause in the world can go up a million times or more. Steve and Erin are two people that have found their purpose and you can see what kind of impact they are having on the world at the moment, and it's growing every day.

When I try and picture you being Harmony though, it doesn't quite work. You are passionate, full of energy, and that's what brings you the most joy and peace. Some people could sit there and meditate, give out spiritual wisdom and relax the day away, but I see you as someone who wants to get out there and do do do. It's not about the success, or achievement, but about causing something in the world that doesn't already exist. While I think this can be done with harmony, it's far from the source of it.

I think the answer to your question lies in what you are/were already doing with your time. There would be a common thread in all the activities you chose to undertake that points to your true purpose. The best way to find this out is to grab a few pieces of paper and a pen, then take some time to write down everything you can think of about your favorite activities. What are your favorite activities? Why do you do them? What is it about them that calls to you? What is it about those activities do you like? Why do you like what it is you like? Keep digging deeper into the whys and whats, and dig really actively. Ask really important questions of them and yourself and really go to work on uncovering the source.

I think this kind of inspired activity is what will uncover your true purpose, not waiting around for it to strike. Angela was right when she said "What works for K won't work for you." You will have to find your own path in finding your own path to life.
