A friend recently asked me.. “will ThetaHealing help me find purpose of my life?” Well, the question really didn’t amaze me…Finding our life’s purpose seems to be the biggest tryst haunting many people around us.

The question is very much relevant and important for our existence. However the real plague in this question is our definition and perception of purpose!!! We are all looking for a purpose that’s ‘great’ or ‘socially exciting’…… If someone tells us that our life’s purpose is to write a book or perform any other life altering task….the answer makes us very happy because it reinforces that we are born to do something ‘worthwhile’ …However if we are told that the life we are leading right now along with the tasks we are currently performing is our life’s true purpose…it disappoints us..as it appears too ‘normal’ and boring.

We are soooo obsessed with having a purpose in our life that we end up degrading our very existence. Many times our existence itself is our purpose in life. Life’s purpose doesn’t always mean that we go out and perform a task for the world to see or proactively influence someone’s life.

The Sun just rises every morning….and whatever lives are meant to get influenced by that….they do that on their own. The Sun doesn’t knock at every door saying “hey wake up..I am here”…Nor does it prod every plant to utilize its rays lest his purpose may remain unfulfilled. The Sun just exists…in all its glory without worrying about the lives it changes..for good or worse..as that very existence is Sun’s purpose.

Same holds true for us too….Our Life’s purpose is just our reason to live…a reason that makes us get up from the bed…it could be an external one like family/work etc or even an internal one like just being happy to be alive!!

We don’t create the purpose or meaning of our life…we already have it….we just discover it…All of us have a unique reason for being, and it can adjust and change many times over the years. The real meaning of life is to be alive and experience life to the maximum!!

Its so plain and so simple and so obvious…yet everyone rushes around in a great panic as if it were necessary to achieve something beyond themselves!!

Many times our search for an exciting purpose in our life makes us believe that our life doesn’t have a purpose only! I have heard so many of my clients say…” It seems I am just existing…it all seems so futile”. My question to them always is…” Why do you not commit suicide?”….and before I can even complete my question, pat comes the reply..” No No….then who will take care of my kids?/ my spouse will be left alone?/What about my old parents? Etc etc etc…”

So you are a good mother/father to your kids….their friend, philosopher and guide…..an eternal companion to your spouse….A loving and caring child to your parents….and you are still looking for  a purpose in your life?

Its good to look out for your life purpose as it will motivate you to press forward, breaking the mental chains of the past. However if ‘not knowing your purpose in life’ is making you anxious leading to a feeling of emptiness inside …it’s a problem… if your quest is crippling you and leading you to existential frustration or should I say existential crisis…then its time to stop and look back…

Looking back at your life….at the people whose lives you have touched…will connect you back to your life’s purpose and that moment will put an end to your emptiness and frustration.

I am reminded of a very beautiful quote is doing the rounds of social media these days:

“How cool is it that the same God, who created mountains, oceans and galaxies, looked at you and thought that the world needed one of you too…”

This quote pretty much answers your existential queries and fills the void that you may be feeling within.

The Universe crafted you with lots of love  and put you on this planet surely for a reason….and you are already on the path of accomplishing it…whether you may identify it yet or not…Its just a matter of time….Till then ‘Hang On’ and just enjoy Universe’s amazing work of art..thats YOU!!
