Do you ever feel like you have no purpose in life?

I mostly do. I really don’t knowwhat I really want. I feel like I’m left out. I’m now old but still didn’t reach anything. I’m lost and alone. And I don’t have the courage and will to do anything to get out from this situation or feeling. I don’t know what’s wrong with me? I don’t know why or how I end up like this. I just want to evaporate.

It seems there has been some strange timeline planted in our brain that tells us we are supposed to be somewhere by a certain age. As someone who still struggles with this, I have to continually remind myself that this timeline is a HUGE lie!

A purpose isn’t something set in stone and doesn’t happen by a certain age. It’s an ever changing state of being. We may be serving a purpose and not even know it because it isn’t something that’s stamped on our forehead as “Done”

I’ve come to realize that my purpose is to wake up each day and breathe in and out. Smile at strangers. Exist on days I don’t want to. Be the person I would like others to be to me.

Success, wealth, possessions…those are goals. A purpose is something you do outwardly with the acceptance that you may never see the outcome, but feel the peace inwardly.

You are living your purpose everyday. You just have to decide how to show it. And your purpose points you to your goals, which you may find will change as well.
