A Life With Meaningful Purpose
A Life With Meaningful Purpose
Can You See Your Potential?
The Problem:
People all have different ideas about a meaningful purpose. It is not my goal to tell you what purpose, or meaning you should be looking for, or find. I want to discuss the very real need to have both present in our lives.
Solutions
Meaningful purpose can really only happen when life is properly balanced. When things become unbalanced, the meaning or purpose are lost due to problems with interpretation.
Too much pain is not balanced, but really we want a life that isn’t painful. Is a life of bliss balanced? How long before you tired of the perfect bliss, and wanted something else? My guess, is it would take a long time for people to really get tired of perfect balance. It is something that we all want.
Really if we bring our thinking into alignment of what the universe wants, then we align our meaning and purpose with the universe, and we find better results from our efforts.
What happens if you want something the universe doesn’t want you to have? Problems of course. Finding the right balance to move within the flow of the universe, makes life really simple. Being in alignment with the universe means that God is really on your side. So if you want the right things, then life happens like it should. There may be some discomfort with the process, but those things shouldn’t be everlasting devastation.
We want bliss right? See the real definition:
If we take this at face value, then we can likely agree that ignorance is not bliss. Hopefully that point we can agree about. The problem is, thinking is difficult for most people. They don’t want to do any work, or exert any effort, because they have not yet achieved the ability to do difficult thinking without there being some pain involved. People hate pain.
It is so simple to sit in front of the TV, and not think much about what they tell you to think about. When was the last time, you really tuned into your own head? When was the last time, you really listened to your own inner voice? If you haven’t taken the time to understand yourself, you will be happy with any meaning and purpose that is handed to you, and you will go from one thing to the next, like a monkey swinging from trees.
If you want to find real meaningful purpose, you have to be in alignment with the universe. One way to do that, is to listen to the inner voice of your heart and soul. What do you and the universe really want? Do you know and understand it?
When you really understand what the universe wants, and set your heart and mind in alignment with that, then everything else will align for you, and you will find more happiness. Bliss, maybe=?
Everything is about balance. Being properly balanced makes a lot of difference. You don’t want to live like a rat in a wheel, never reaching any real goal, and you don’t want to be so inactive that you turn into zombie cat poo.
Really if you read a lot, then there are some articles that promote people to do nothing whatsoever. While there is some agreement about doing nothing for a little while in the day, if you engage in that full time, you rot. You want to avoid that.
Some Things Humans Have Thought
Read an article about the four keys to a meaningful life. They have some good points. Did like what they said, and my belief is that if they are properly applied, have some benefit.
- Belonging
- Purpose
- Storytelling
- Trancendence
My life, lacks the belonging parts. My mortal family feel like strangers to me, it seems that we hardly know each other. They don’t understand me, and we aren’t communicating. When there is no communication, problems always come up that can not be solved. I’ve written in the hopes that they would read what I write, and try to have a conversation with me about it. At this point, it seems impossible. It would be nice to free their minds from the programming they are under, and have a real free conversation about the problems we have.
Also, it seems the community is totally lacking in my life. There are no places where it feels like belonging, or that people accept me for being myself. Without that, a lot of where I would find meaning and purpose is lacking in huge ways.
Until that problem is fixed, nothing will get better. I’ve studied this, and after a full examination of the fact, can tell that these problems have a real impact on my ability to function.
A person can set all kinds of things as their purpose. As a matter of a fact, here is a list of things that some people have set up as a bucket list of things to accomplish. There might be ten things on this list that I’ve done personally; however, that list is not the solution. Why? because those things may not be in alignment with what the universe wants. Don’t really have a desire to be only a business man. Or any one thing alone. Everyone talks about having a niche, and being an expert in one field of view. That isn’t really something that personally we want to agree to. We want life better than that.
Specialization is for insects. — Robert Heinlein
We want better than that. In finding meaning and purpose, it is important to be balanced. To have a wide variety of things to do, and think about, and be involved in. Overspecialize and you risk becoming obsolete. That would be awful.
There are some things that we find useful for giving meaning and purpose, and if fulfilled, we could move on to more accomplishments, and achievements. Here is my list of life goals, or priorities, that have all been given a lot of thought.
Conclusion
Things have to be balanced. Everyone needs someone sometimes. It has been far too long since it felt like there were friends and people that like me in this world. To be perfectly honest, it feels like my person is a total stranger in this world. No one listens to me, no one is reading, and with as big as the world is; maybe, no one cares. That is a problem from my viewpoint.
It has been said, that isolation is a gift. How a person uses it, depends entirely upon them. It has been my aim, to make good use of my time. If you read everything that my writing contains, you might find a lot of information that could benefit you.
It has been a goal, to be useful here. There is a lot of heavy lifting that my mind has done for you, so you can avoid the pain of having to think these thoughts from nothing. All you have to do is read it. That shouldn’t be too painful, right=?
