PURPOSE

I believe that it is a great thought. Until we are born, there isn’t much to our lives, at least not as we know it, right?

But at some point in our lives, we find out why we are here. I believe that we all have a function, a purpose, a job to do in this life. That is what the quote is talking about when we find out why we’re here.

While I don’t believe in predestination, but we all have unique talents which lend themselves to specific tasks. There are things that only you can do. People only you can reach.

Once we know why we are here, we can get busy fulfilling the purpose of our life, as we understand it at the moment. I say that because I believe that as we change, so does our purpose.

Why is paying attention important? How often do we not notice something, often for a great deal of time, and then ‘suddenly’ we notice it? Someone’s new hair style, the person who has been dropping subtle hints for a while, or the new person at work or at the gym. Why didn’t you notice before?

Our minds cannot process everything around us. Sights, sounds, smells, and so much more are bombarding our brains all the time. We block out the things we deem unimportant for the task at hand. And when that task finishes and we come up for air, we suddenly notice things.

While that’s the way things naturally are, we can take control to some extent by taking time to look around, to listen, to take in data from our other senses. The same goes for the trends in our lives. If we pay attention to trends, patterns or habits, we can understand what is happening.

I don’t believe that you are born with a destiny. But you design your life through your actions and decisions. We evolve and change over time. As we do these things, we often take a trajectory. If we plot our points and look to the future, you can get a glimpse of a possible future, and what it is you were born to do.
