A lecture I was once attended on Buddhism, the speaker stated ” if your life was a movie up to this point, you would be so bored by it, you would walk out of the theater. ”
This stuck with me all through the years. It referenced directly how little we accomplish in the course of a day, how much energy is wasted in our motion through life.

When we say ‘ life purpose ‘ we think of our jobs, vocations, or desires for them. It is how we are wired in this culture as children. We are taught to singly focus on career, thusly our minds are occupied with this most of our lives, until we retire.
Then we begin to look into ‘ who ‘ we are and want to be. Prior to this, ask someone who they are, and the majority will tell you their job description.
This person that just told you what they do instead of who they are is what we call ego and the one that struggles against our higher selves voice most of our life.
When they tell what they do - it is because they do not know who they are, or want to be. It is lost in the childhood they surrendered to be a ” good worker ” and a responsible citizen. This person is a creation of others, who we truly and is only a matter of recognition.
From this recognition our life’s purpose evolves of its own power.
The sense of gratitude Julia speaks of will be felt from our higher self for this honoring of it, and then flow into the rest of our life.
You step into walking in Faith, and this generates gratitude and thankfulness as your energy attitude. It will be felt by those near you and just passing you on a walk.

In our culture of self-help, spiritual workshops and the ‘ business ‘ of God / Source we have lost our way in an attempt to be ourselves. Many discover this in meditation, prayer, even workshops, but most I think find it by just stopping long enough to know they are not what was created as they surrendered their childhood’s to the demands of the majority.
