All my life I’ve marveled at the people I’ve met who had no purpose in life other than to be good little consumers for the Matrix. You see them everywhere, clueless and void of any real passion or purpose. They lead fairly standard lives and often experience existential meltdowns in midlife when they realize how meaningless and empty their lives have been. It’s a tricky situation for them because having a sense of purpose and mission is a deeply introspective thing and not something you can buy at the Superstore.
Mark Twain famously said “The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why.” For many of us having a sense of mission and purpose is what makes life meaningful and exciting. Accomplishing goals inline with our mission and purpose is very important and if we’re not careful, can become obsessive. The reason for this is because we derive so much satisfaction from living our lives congruent with what our souls tell us is the reason we’re here on Planet Earth. It brings a calmness. inner peace and sense of fulfillment that is without compare. People who lack this sense of purpose and mission do not understand this and are often hurt or become jealous when the mission-driven person devotes so much of their time to their purpose. They can feel neglected and unloved.
From an early age the people with a sense of mission contemplate what the meaning of life is and whether there is a purpose to it all. Then they embark on a search for what their individual purpose or mission might be. For my part, the day I found my purpose and dedicated myself to it was a day of great relief and excitement.
First, the relief I felt was because a nagging question that was always in the back of my mind had been answered. From my earliest memories I’ve always had a sense that I was on a mission of some sort. That I intentionally came to this chaotic planet to accomplish a purpose- to make a contribution that would help generate positive change. As long as I was in the dark as to what that purpose was, I had an uneasy sense of tension regarding how and when I would fulfill that purpose.
The excitement came as I realized that my mission was well within my grasp and capabilities and that it would be a highly enjoyable and fulfilling pursuit. It would use the talents and creativity that gave me much satisfaction in my life. The means to fulfill my goals were all readily available to me and anything else I needed that I didn’t currently have in my possession, the Universe would gladly and graciously provide.
Over the years I’ve learned that when I’m on the right path, little synchronicities (a word and concept created by Carl Jung) occur to confirm my choices. These signposts are what most people call coincidences, only with synchronicities they happen in clusters and the odds of them being random happenings are astronomical. Oxford languages defines synchronicities as “the simultaneous occurrence of events which appear significantly related but have no discernible causal connection: “such synchronicity is quite staggering”.
Another exciting element to living aligned with your purpose is that all the things you need to accomplish that mission flow easily to you. I remember when I was living in Dallas Texas and had a job offer in Los Angeles, California. I had been feeling dissatisfied with my life in Big D and like my destiny was out west. I had been traveling there for work and felt invigorated and fully alive when I was there. So it was no surprise when the opportunity came my way to relocate. Still, it was a big, expensive undertaking and I was bit short of the funds I would need. While I was weighing the cost, the state of Texas initiated their lottery. On the very first lottery ticket I ever bought, I won the remainder of the money I would need for the move. Naturally, I took that as a confirmation of where I needed to live to be in alignment with my Higher Self and pre-incarnate life plan.
If you’re unfamiliar with the concept of the Higher Self pre-incarnate life plan, think of it like this. When you’re planning a vacation to a foreign country you plan it before you go so you’ll have reservations for the transportation and lodging you’ll need. You also create an itinerary so you can move around and have the experiences that interest you easily and without difficulty or disappointment. Likewise, before you incarnated on Planet Earth, your Energy Being (Higher Self) or Spirit decided what experiences you wanted to have and made an itinerary and reservations for situations and circumstances that would accomplish your goals. This is why when you align with your purpose and mission things seem to magically fall into place.
For instance, other people who can help with your projects “coincidentally” come into your circle of acquaintances. You may meet someone who “coincidentally” knows of a job opening in the occupation you’re drawn to. Someone may donate something you need to pursue your interests “out of the blue”. Someone else may call your attention to opportunities that are just what you need to pursue. There are a million ways that synchronicities can act as signposts and vehicles to help transport you to where you need to be.
Conversely, if you’re trying to pursue something that doesn’t align with your Higher Self Life Plan (HSLP) it can feel like you’re trying to push a heavy boulder up a hill. You will also feel a distinct lack of enthusiasm for whatever endeavors you are undertaking. This often happens when parents try to force their children into careers or life-paths that are not in alignment with their HSLP. The result can be a life that feels like a burden and/or a trap.
Living life intentionally leaves one free to become their best and most authentic self. There’s a freedom that comes from knowing you are on the right vector to arrive at your intended destination and that you have infallible guidance systems that will keep you on course. Knowing that the very Universe itself is conspiring to assist you in all ways to accomplish your life-plan is wonderfully reassuring and provides for a worry-free existence. It also gives you a feeling of power and confidence that inspires others to follow your example.
If you’re one of those who is still searching for your purpose, my advice is simple. Spend time in meditation and conversation with your Higher Self requesting guidance and confirmation. Be open to instruction that comes from within. Know that the desires of your heart and the things that bring you a sense of joy and fulfillment are your inner guidance system steering your course and illuminating your path. When synchronicities begin to pop, regard them as a confirmation that you’re on the right path.
In conclusion, living life purposely and intentionally is powerful because the real person you are, (not your flesh-suit avatar) but your Higher Self is intimately connected to Divine Source which is the most powerful creative energy in the Universe. Therefore all things are possible for you. There is nothing that is a part of your Higher Self Life Plan that will not come to pass when you’re living your life on purpose!
