Living Our Life's Purpose

It is not surprising that we label certain transcendent musical or dramatic performances as being “soulful.” Our souls enter this earthly plane with us at birth and animate our journey along the way. The word “animate” derives from the Latin word “anima” which means “to en-soul.” When we live a life congruent with our soul’s purpose, we feel invigorated and harmonious. We feel supportive energy that propels us to a purposeful life. We realize that our lives are meaningful. When we find it difficult to connect to our soul’s energy, we experience emotional pain and frequently seek ways to distract us from our pain, which can lead to compulsions and addictions. It is essential to calm and quiet our minds and attempt to discern our soul’s purpose. It’s essential to ask ourselves what will truly give us genuine happiness. Often we are prompted to pursue a path that may “disappoint” our family and friends. No matter. What good is it if we gain the entire world but lose our soul in the process? We will be provided with an abundance of energy to follow our unique path through life as long as we sense we are living our soul’s purpose. Living soulfully means that we share our unique gifts with the world each day. We may or may not be rewarded with earthly riches but we will be rewarded with a deep sense of satisfaction and a sincere feeling that our lives are purposeful. Quiet your mind. Look within and discover where your soul’s energy is pulling you.
