You give your life purpose and you create the life you want to live. You create yourself.
What is Purpose?
Purpose
pur·pose /ˈpərpəs/
Noun: The reason for which something is done or created or for which something exists.
Verb: Have as one’s intention or objective.
You choose your WHY in your life. Just like love is a verb, so is purpose. Purpose is your reason for living and it can only be expressed by action by YOU. You are the only one that can give your life purpose.
“And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.”
Romans 8:28
When you follow your purpose you are answering God’s call that leads to your highest good, therefore there is no way it cannot work out for you. God has placed this vision of love in your heart for a reason. It is your WHY and when connected to your intention there is alignment in your mind (intention), body, and soul (you decide). This calling will lead you to your highest good and most fulfilling life. You begin to see that everything is working together for your greatest good, this life is leading you to grow and be your greatest self because your purpose is love.
Intention
Your intention is your inner compass, it is where You choose to go by giving your mind (the super computer) direction. Intention is You deciding how You will act and what direction you are giving your life. This depends on what you want to create, supported by what you believe is possible (your foundation). You are so powerful and can create anything you want. You get to decide who you are and what life you want to live. You are the co-creator of your life. God has made you a team encompassing of your mind, body, and soul that you direct with purpose.
The thought that the Holy Spirit placed on my mind that changed my life is, “I am here, why not make it worthwhile?”
You are worthy of the life of your dreams and you are the only one that can give it to yourself. Don’t play small in life. This is YOUR life. You decide where it goes.
4 Steps on How to Connect to Purpose
- You have Free Will, use it.
You have free will and you are stronger than the pattern that no longer serves you. Your light is so much stronger than the old pattern. You connect to free will by connecting to your breath and slowing down. You can also grow this connection by reading God’s word and praying to act on God’s will (love) for you. When you turn your light on you connect to more of yourself and more love.
- You have all that you need because God made you in His image
You are stronger than you think. You are a fraction of light. God made you in His image so you could grow and be your own fraction of light. This means you have all that you need to create what you love. Always follow love no matter how “out there” it may seem, always trust yourself and your vision for it comes from God, so it is divinely guided and protected.
- Exchange the ideas that no longer serve you (remove the clutter)
A lot of our life is unlearning patterns that keep us small and scared. This clearing looks like exchanging old patterns with new ones. You do this by acting in alignment with intention and breathing. You observe your thoughts and emotions and exchange them. If you are feeling an emotion that is heavy (fear, anger, sadness, etc) feel it and feed the change that you want to bring with that emotion. Channel your emotion to work for you by using it as motivation. Remember you can feel fear but CHOOSE to act courageously because you know fear is not real (it is just an indicator for expansion).
- Have the Courage to ACT as your best self
Nothing changes unless you get in there and take action towards the change you want. This means some days acting with doubt. It can come along for the ride but not steer. Your dreams can’t stay in your head forever or else they will never be created. We all don’t know everything that is the whole beautiful point about being human. Despite not knowing, decide who you are and act. Have the courage to be your best self and love yourself enough to give yourself the life you’ve always dreamt of. Make choices worth facing. Do what you have to do, because only you can do it. A lot of our life can be lived in our mind without actioning out the dreams. The most important thing for you is to try it out for yourself. Create the beautiful life you’ve always wanted with your bare hands. Only you can give your life the life you want.
The song my guides sent my way to connect to purpose:
Do what you gotta do by: Keahiwai
Affirmations:
I am worthy of self-trust and self-compassion, embracing my inherent worthiness.
I am grounded in my truth, confident in my abilities, and trusting in the journey ahead.
I am rooted in the present moment, trusting in my ability to handle whatever comes my way.
In closing, do what you love, it is always what people need (and what you need). This is you giving your light as a gift to you and the world. So trust yourself and ask God for guidance when you are not sure as you start creating the new pattern one decision at a time in the now. When you are a team you play the game and bet on yourself because you know You are steering Your ship with the guidance from beyond (love). Trust yourself. It can be that simple, do what you have to do.
