How many years have you been puzzling over why you are here in this relative experience; why you are alive at this particular point in time; what is it you are supposed to accomplish while you are here? This type of question has puzzled many of us including some of our brightest mentalities. I think there are guideposts we may not discover early in our lives that can help us decide precisely what our purpose is, and I'd like to share three that I have discovered with you in the hopes that you will write back and share some that you have discovered with me. I always appreciate your insights.

I believe that life is meant to be abundant. I believe that it has inherently within it all that it takes to feed both our bodies as well as our souls. Each of us gets to decide what that abundance needs to look like, how it should feel, and how much is enough for us. One man's abundance could be acreage in the country with a flowing brook; two changes of clothing; and rich ground to grow his own food. And this form of abundance might be anathema to someone who wants a life of bright lights; fancy clothing and cars; and a fast crowd of friends. I sit in judgment on no one's choices. Each of us gets to choose and decide what our ideals are. What does abundance mean to you? It could be beneficial to write your ideas down.

Each of us has unique gifts. You may not think this is true, but I'd like to ask you to ponder stories that are told about you from your childhood. I know of a woman who, as a four year old, kicked and screamed about incorrect word usage in her family. She is now a writing coach. It was a unique gift that she was able to recognize and use. What are you naturally drawn to? What do you enjoy the most? What do you do effortlessly that others struggle with? What did you get your highest grades in when you were in grade school? What task do you perform that feels more like playing than like work? You DO have a unique gift, and that very gift can be the source of your abundance if you have not experienced abundance yet. I'd again recommend writing down all of the answers to the questions listed here. A pattern or an idea may begin to present itself to you.

You should feel comfortable and satisfied. Part of the "norm" of life is that we are meant to feel comfortable and to feel satisfied. I frequently hear my friends and colleagues talk about stories in their lives as well as reflecting on my own life where I can tell that our parents did not understand that feeling comfortable and satisfied was the norm. We were not taught that feeling uncomfortable was an opportunity for us to search for something inside of us that was off the mark - out of position - and making us feel as if one wheel on the train was off the tracks: in other words, uncomfortable. Just a few questions then (and most certainly we can do this now in our lives for ourselves) would have ferreted out the discomfort and allowed us to once again return to our norm, comfortable. The same holds true for a sense of satisfaction. We too often rush from one task to another without celebrating the successes we've achieved and ought to feel satisfied about.

I believe that there is definitely a reason we are here in this relative experience and that we are all supposed to be significant in some way in this world. I truly believe that we are each blessed with at least one unique gift. The expression of our gift and our comfort in acknowledging them contributes to a greater cause beyond ourselves, and this is my wish for you.

Tips To Help You Discover Your Reason for Being Here and What You Can Expect to Accomplish

In order to speed up the process of discovering or refining your Life Purpose, here are some points that you may find useful for bringing what is inside you out into the sunshine. It is my strong hope that in this list of questions, you will pull from within yourself what is most important to you here in this lifetime, so that, at the end, you can look back and sigh with satisfaction.

Many companies list a Mission Statement - what the company is all about. You might look into creating one for yourself that says what you are all about! Settle into a quite space and please write your answers down.

1. Make a list of the things you are, you have or you do in your life that bring you great joy, much laughter, smiles (at a minimum), and lovely satisfaction?
