Ever Wonder about Your Purpose in Life?

Have you ever wondered what your purpose in life was?  Yes, I said purpose.  Why were you born? There is a reason for everything that happens in life and sometimes we figure it out early and sometimes it takes a lifetime.

We choose a career to follow and sometimes find out years later if we had to do it over again, we may have taken a different route.

Is our purpose to procreate? thus ending our responsibility? Or do we need to do more? We are a society that is supposed to begin life, mold lives, protect life  and cherish life until the end.  BUT, how many of us go through the motions never giving thought to the consequences of our actions. Never considering anyone else but our own little space in this world. We marry and never really connect with our spouse, have children and expect them to grow without connection or interaction. We grow old and feel our job is done.

There is a purpose to every life and maybe it’s time to redefine what purpose means to us. Prioritize your life, and throw out the garbage.  Don’t just talk and hear your spouse, significant other, children, family, and friends, but listen to what they are saying.  Take better care of your health, both physically and emotionally – everyone will benefit and you will have less stress in your life.

Enjoy everyday,  and ever never underestimate your self-worth.  Love yourself, and be apathetic and empathetic to others.  Try to stay optimistic towards others and life situations.

I feel I have discovered my purpose in this life, and I will continue to spread my words through my books and writing.

I have always lived outside the box throughout my life and wondered if there are others like me. To find out, I built a website dedicated to those who live outside. If you feel like you might be living as a weed, visit my blog, Living as a Weed, or check out my book, "My Life as a WEED...and weeds (words) to live by.” My writings are tongue in cheek humor on reflections of life, choices, decisions and consequences, with family, friends and society in general as seen through my eyes.
