 My Purpose, Things I've heard
To trust and believe in myself, be ok with myself, live whatever life I can imagine, accept my greatness, experience complete personal freedom and help children have all of these things.
Now I'm in the process of "connecting" this purpose to my gifts, talents, etc. So my plan and what I'm doing now is simply trusting. I'm following the advice of Dave Deida (way of the superior man) and simply "spending one hour per day doing what it was I was meant to do", which at this time, I believe, is to play one mean f***ing guitar!
For me personally, it's a great excercise just trusting. I'm one of those that has, in the past, just wanted things to be "done". Now I'm realizing that I can just bask in the process, so to speak. What I've heard, read and learned about purpose?
1. It changes, like peeling the layer of an onion. What might feel like your purpose today might feel old and "done" tomorrow.
2. True 'higher purpose' is usually something bigger than your lifetime, that might require several lifetimes to accomplish (ending world hunger, world peace, etc.)
3. Some things to give you "hints" - You're in a store and you overhear a couple of complete strangers talking about somethng. What would that "something" be that would compel you to walk over and join the conversation. This answer is more "revealing" the "shyer" you are. also, what would you die for? What did you want to do when you were 5? (I wanted to be Superman mostly, and also Fonz and James Bond and Elvis)
