Like a dog and their master, we begin to look alike.
We all blend together; start resembling the folks we hang around the most, think in a similar bubble, use like words, body language becomes like a dance, we could walk into any of our friend's houses and think we're home. Right?
I should hope not!
Each of us has something quite extraordinary - in my mind's eye, a LOT of somethings extraordinary come out of a lifetime.
We're not an accident. We matter to one another in this room, city, state, country, and beyond! What are you gonna do about that? You share your life, your experiences, your crafty Bad Self, the stuff you make, what you think about, and what you gave up to get here. It's what makes us unique, individuals, having something special and just yours to GIVE to the world.
If you're wondering what that ONE THING IS...
The secret to getting IT is inching closer.
Trying something new, considering why others call you in the middle of the night, where does a conversation turn, always, with YOU in the room? What causes you to want to jump up and call someone, take action, scream it from the rooftops, work until the wee hours and not notice it got dark, and all the stars are bright in the sky.
It could be your natural talent to blow a horn, do a jig in a particular fashion, what you say with your particular voice, how you dream, what you do in your SPARE time that you couldn't do without. You can't imagine your life without IT.
Your Purpose could have come from many years of study, research, evolution. Which, on that particular path, you GREW
ENORMOUSLY!!
Until you bust a gut, feel as though your head's exploding, your brain and hair start aflame. You may not know. Accept. Acknowledge. 'Cause you think everyone has that gift. WRONG. You couldn't be more wrong.
The closer you get to THAT, the more enticed you are. The higher you circulate. The very things occur that lead you there again and again.
You're eliminating those things, checking them off your "COULD THIS BE IT?" List.
When you are inspired, feel elated, soar, rant, escalate, explore MORE, you know you're getting ever closer, my friend.
To IT, the Holy Grail, or not.
Because what I find, when I think I have IT, my purpose, in my grasp, I see another facet of it. Another framework, another dimension. And I move towards that.
Don't get me wrong...You could STILL come out looking like your dog.
But, stay intrigued. In the Wonder. In awe.
Explain, in a few words, what you believe is your Life Purpose...at least for the time being!
Thanks for the comments, they mean so much to me.
