Many people think that their lives don’t mean a lot, or that they are living their lives only for the purpose of self-gratification. They live for the moment, and in a way, that is good, but, if it is good, how come so many lives are wasting away on drugs, alcohol or pleasures of the flesh?

Think about it. Who are you? When you answer that question, most likely you will give me a long list of what you are, not who you are. And really, there is almost no way to answer that question. You would say, I am the husband of so and so, or you would say, I am the son or daughter of whoever, or the person who did this or that.

Sometimes, the best way to express who you are, is by understanding your purpose in life. That what makes you who you are.

Can you remember the most memorable moments of your childhood? When you thought that you experience ecstasy and thought that life could not get any better than that? What were you doing at that time?

Our true purpose is mostly shaped by our values, by what we consider really important. Those values that will not change unless something dramatic opens your eyes and makes you re evaluate your life, and those things that you hold dear in life.

That is why sometimes, it takes for a person to hit rock bottom in order to re evaluate life, behavior, feelings, thoughts, and habits.

Someone once said that only babies in wet diapers like change; and that is the truth.

Since I can remember, I am the happiest when I help others, so I can look back and see that with very few exceptions, I have lived the life of my dreams. I have being able to help lots of people improve and achieve their goals, or I have saved many lives, and when I was not doing that, I was risking my life to rescue those in need… Yes, I have lived a very fulfilling life. And that is because my actions and pursuits are in alignment with my true purpose in life; which is, to help others.

The current abundance of depression, frustration, and anger that we see in our society, is the effect or result of a lack of aligning between who we are or could be, and what we are actually doing with our lives. When you put momentary pleasures, fame, and artificially exalted emotions in front of your true purpose in life, there is an asynchrony of purpose. So, what could be a finely tuned musical instrument is in discordance with it’s own melody.
That is when anger, frustration n, and depression sets in, and you, like so many other people in this world, you feel lost.

Let’s go back to the question on paragraph four. Think of your happiest moments, what were you doing then? Why?

What activities provide us with the greatest satisfaction? By examining those situations, and those moments, we can discover who we truly are, what our true purpose is.

Our purpose has to be more than the sum of the activities that we now do. Our true purpose is expressed throughout our journey in life, and many don’t identify it until late in life.

What makes you happy? Follow your heart.

Celebrate life.

You will not believe, but even people which look very blessed, also have a messed up life. It just how you take it, your attitude towards life chaos that matters.
