Connecting with deep purpose.

There is nothing quite like the grounding and elevating feeling of deep purpose in my life. Only recently has this feeling come over me, and it strikes me that it has taken such a long time to realise within me. The feeling is so strong now, and it perpetually lifts my spirit. 

My purpose has not been easy to find at all, and I have often wondered why this is? But then I realise that finding purpose is the result of the long and tireless life journey I have walked to this point, which has taken me through the valleys and troughs of purposelessness and chaos, over the hills of blindness and dis-integrity, and which has ultimately delivered me safely and whole, to the purposeful landscape of my current life state.

Nothing is wasted, and everything has a useful contribution to make to ones own understanding of life, and of my role in it. Purpose comes from being open to the journey, for all its qualities and its calamities, and it is the culmination of these insights and experiences, which manifest into a state of being which is full of purpose.

I am receptive and grateful for every step that has gotten me this far, and I am fully open, and without fear, to tread the many roads ahead, because they will all be the making of a greater and more purposeful me.
