To understand our purpose in life we can simply begin by asking ourselves “WHY do we want to know our purpose in life?”

Just the fact, that we WANT to know, is a strong purpose by itself. In other words, we could say the purpose in life is to know our purpose 😊.
❤
Most of us, however, will not be satisfied with this simple answer, because we want to FEEL (due to the love of pleasure or fear of pain) that we matter to someone or something OUT there. In other words, we want to matter in the grander scale of things, to someone or something OUT there, rather than simply to ourselves, and hence the reason for FAITH and RELIGION and so forth, but that’s another subject altogether.
❤
Let’s get back to addressing our purpose:
From a BIOLOGICAL point of view, we have only 2 options: GROWTH or DECLINE.
So, you could say our purpose is to GROW, expand, progress and so forth.
But then again, most of us want to feel that our purpose surpasses death, that WHO WE ARE will mean something to someone even after we’ve departed this world.
❤
So, here’s a simple TRUTH:
We are RESPONSE-ABLE beings. From this, it naturally follows, that we cannot always control what happens in the world (Causality), but we can ALWAYS control the way we RESPOND to what happens in the world (Effect).

In short, this means we have the power to CO-CREATE reality and with it, to co-create the WORLD. This brings us to the subject of FREE WILL, but that’s another subject altogether. 😊
❤
WHAT DOES “RESPONSE-ABILITY” MEAN IN TERMS OF OUR PURPOSE?
❤
It means the world “is the way it is,” but WE, intelligent, self-aware beings, GIVE PURPOSE TO THE WORLD, or to anything else for that matter. It means our ACTIONS can forever CHANGE the flow of reality and hence through RESPONSIBLE, EFFICIENT and MEANINGFUL endeavor, we can do GOOD and RIGHT and leave a LASTING LEGACY upon the world and WHO WE TRULY ARE.
❤ 
So, what to do?
Well, YOU CHOOSE your purpose and make it MEANINGFUL! Make sure it adds value to the world and you will fulfill your purpose in a grand way. Most of all, enjoy the ride, cos it’s the only ride you have that’s truly happening and hence, the WAY you ride is an essential part of your purpose. In short, make it count for something!

PS: Good morning the world of purpose, wherever you are 😊
