Finding purpose




Finding purpose in all that you do. As woman there is so much that we have on our plates. The entire day can go by and your still moving with no break for yourself. Whether it is with children or with work, there is always a reason to why we are such busy bodies. As woman were always moving and never really have time for ourselves.
It is time to stop feeling guilty about not being able to complete the things that we were meaning to. Believe it or not the time we spend at the end of the other day, thinking about the things we didn’t get done is time that we can be spending meditating and praying.

I recently found in my own life that although I’m currently unemployed the day would fly by and as it did I still did not find the time to work on my personal mission. It’s interesting how time itself can take you for a loop. Since I made notice and stopped blaming myself for my lack of focus and commitment. Blaming yourself for something in the past only brings about more challenge, not change. Blaming yourself does not promote productivity but the lack there of.

As women there are so many responsibilities that we keep placing on ourselves, that keep us from giving time to our personal walk with truth. We place responsibilities on ourselves and we do not ask for help out fear that if we do we will be seen as a woman that can’t handle her business. There are many people around us that would love to lend a hand. How many times have complained whether aloud or in our mind about our significant other not helping?

But in reality we never even asked for help. It is amusing the pressure we place on ourselves when we assume. Assumption is an enemy of the mind. Ultimately, the people in our lives are there to help us along our path of truth and asking for help can help contribute to their walk as well. Your asking for help can serve as a gift toward someone else’s soul. It therefore okay to ask for help.

Finding purpose in all that you do is what is important. If we choose to find purpose in the small things in life such as care taking or cleaning, everything we do essentially becomes an act of worship. The meaning to life does not come when it is forced but through the energy of ease. What we do with ease creates a field for every day improvement. Socrates said it best when he said "Beware of the barrenness of a busy life." Living with purpose is living triumphantly. We must live triumphantly in our everyday moments; it is in this triumph we live on purpose.

In Him we live,
