“What is my purpose now?” Use this question as a weathervane. Ask it often, especially when you are anxious or unsure of what to do next. When you have the answer, act upon it.
Finding Your Purpose
The question of purpose is an invitation to consider daily or short-term goals and intentions as well as larger aims. My life seems to run more smoothly when I stay on course. A successful writer I know has a typed card above his computer that states simply: “There is Reality’s work that only you can do.” The line has several meanings. From one perspective all useful work that I do serves others in some way (I can’t escape doing reality’s work.) Another take on the line urges me to notice my particular gifts, talents, and location. What work has been given to me that is uniquely mine? What would not get done if I were not here? I can examine this question by observing the details of what is in my care. Naturally, family comes to mind. My roles as wife, as daughter, as aunt are uniquely “mine.” Right now I am the only aunt to my nephew Nathan. Am I doing a good job as his aunt? Is there anything more I need to do?
Another way to answer the question is to check out talents and passions. What do I find easy to do? What seems natural? What do I do well? What do I love doing? Could it be that my preferences, natural abilities, and even my fascinations are all part of the answer to the question?
