You Don’t Need To Find Your Purpose.

You need to stop ignoring it.

During the last 12 months, there has been a rise in people looking for their purpose. Whether they are feeling compelled to look for some more meaning to life or just a change, but here is my problem with finding your purpose.

I am one of those people who believe we all have a purpose and I believe that purpose is very different for all of us and comes in all shapes and sizes. I believe that sometimes we are purpose shamed because we don’t have a grandiose purpose in life.

This is the equivalent of the issue I have about being told we should have ‘big dreams’, when maybe our big dream is to live simply in a van with just enough to live on.

Our purpose is the same, often we ignore the simplest of purposes because we’ve been told we need to find it. When we do, we’ve been told it should be big, and if it isn’t big, we are not being in purpose enough.

The problem with believing we need to find our purpose is that suddenly we are put in a place of lack, a place where we are missing something vital in our lives. The biggest lie we’ve been told is that unless we find our purpose, we will never be fulfilled in life.

Your Purpose Is Ever Present.
