There are people who believe that we are all born for a specific purpose and only we can fulfil it. Whether we know it or not, there is a specific reason why each of us had to be here, in this day and age.
Our life’s purpose contributes to what makes us unique because we have all been graced with different skill sets, different upbringings and life experiences. All of these serving a single purpose: to bring us to our life’s calling. If we are all created with different fingerprints, DNA, and souls, would it make sense that we are all meant to fit a set social standard. I think not, we are born different and here to serve something unique to us.
But its sad that we tend to want to throw away this uniqueness, and buy into other people’s lives. Young people are busy trying to be like other people, they want to dress like that person, look like this person, or do what that other person is doing. Its like a generation that has fallen into the trap of imitations, and has lost its uniqueness. Those who were enlightened with the power of self discovery have also harnessed the power to lure and influence people to be like them. Hence its only a few unique people at the top and whole bunch of mimics.
To find our calling is not as easy because it means we have to find out who you truly are. The problem with this is, we don’t always know how to. There are many teachings, mantras, and beliefs out there of how to define or find one’s purpose and that’s where it gets confusing. For some these actually work, for others it doesn’t. A 60 year old woman right now can still not even know her life’s calling. Some theories simplify things to the way we humans understand. I have heard people claim that my life’s calling is to be a mother to my children for others its a specific job or talent. This we understand perfectly well, because we can relate to it, but is that really all there is?
Well am no master at this either, but I do know one thing, If I want to understand something about a product or have questions, I go to the manual, if I ain’t got one I call the manufacturer. So now it depends on where you think you came from. After all who knows a product better than the one who CREATED it .
Side note: God knows you better, don’t be a mere copy of someone else, be your unique self by living out your life’s purpose, which you can only find in God Himself.
Cheers!
