HAVE YOU EVER ASKED YOURSELF – WHAT IS MY PURPOSE?

HAVE YOU EVER ASKED YOURSELF – WHAT IS MY PURPOSE?

20 May 2022

My purpose is a core part of my identity. It embodies my values and my beliefs. It is my mission in life.

Living an alcohol free life made my well-being a central part of who I am. It led me to question and to find my purpose.

I think of my purpose as a life journey on a sail boat to an island. I am at the helm, steering the boat through the waters of my day-to-day life to follow my purpose. There are forces at play that are not within my control, like the winds and storms. But there are others that I can control, such as learning to use the sails and rudder to stay on course and ride out storms that try their best to blow me off my course.

Sometimes I can’t sail the direct course – I must follow the wind. Sometimes there will be no wind and I need to use other sources, like rowing or using a motor.

If I am fighting the wind, I am not pursuing my purpose. I know when I am moving smoothly through life, smoothly over the water, that I’m doing things right. I am in line with the island that I’m heading to: I am in line with my purpose.
