Why Are We Here

For some, this question is more important than it is for others. Everything we experience has been believed by many, to be for a divine purpose. Do you believe that?

Do you believe there is a particular reason for you to be on this Earth?

There are millions of people who whole-heartedly believe that they are meant to serve a purpose while here on Earth.

Some believe in reincarnation –while others believe that we are truly in God’s image and can create and manifest the life we desire by the similar powers of those God has been described to possess.

There are so many different theories, and no one truly knows what the truth is. No one can seem to prove without a shadow of a doubt, that we aren’t reincarnated, or that there is no hell or heaven, or that our time here, SERVES A PURPOSE?

I happen to believe that we do have a purpose as we live out this life. Not all of us have the same purpose, or even have positive purposes. When we see tragedy, experience pain and trauma, or grief –I believe those things also happened for a reason. Sometimes things just happen through the environment. However, people sometimes serve a purpose to teach us a lesson, to add to our life experience, to add to the life experiences of others. If we had nothing to live for, nothing to strive for, and nothing to learn in life…why else would we exist?

We would just be a great big simulated game of SIMS. Who’s playing the game? Who knows --but what I do know, is that my time here has certainly showed me more than I could have ever imagined I’d experience in one lifetime.

I’m only 27 years of age, and the things I’ve seen in my life have certainly prepared me to serve a purpose while I’m here.

I could be completely wrong about this philosophy, of course. However, things seem to fall in line with my purpose as I continue to explore it. As I learn from my life experiences, I get to share them with others so that they can learn from them.

Ultimately, I’m here to help transform the lives of others. I am here to help others experience a different way of living –a fulfilling and abundance life, as God intended us to have.

It’s funny how society and culture can shape life experiences into such a miserable way of life. However, the life that was meant for us to have, is one that can be enjoyed. Yet, so many of us suffer, anyway.

So I’m put here to gather information from the tests I’ve been put through and break it down for others so that they can understand the life experiences they have, in a way that leads them to a life full of fulfillment, joy, and abundance!

If you believe you are here for a reason, what is it?

If you know what it is, are you living out your purpose? Why or why not?

Words of Advice

Sometimes our purpose is a little less obvious than others. Sometimes it can seem impossible to know what you are here for, and what purpose you serve. But what I can say, is that those who have found their purpose here in their life, have always followed what they were most passionate about. It always leads them along the path of self-discovery –which ultimately leads to a life full of purpose.

For example, I branched off to work for myself for the first time in my life. I felt a great passion to do so, and was doing well for a while. Of course, there are ups and down in business, when you work for yourself. However, I fell into a spiraling hole that was completely unexpected. I trusted that my path was right, despite what I saw around me. Circumstances ultimately led me back to working for a company that had nothing to do with my purpose.

But while I was at this new company, I was able to actually fulfill my purpose. Little did I know that God sent me here to help someone do THE VERY THING I’m put here on this Earth to do. I’m meant to impact the lives of others and call them to a higher standard of living. Mentally, physically, and emotionally, it is my job to transform the lives of others, by who I am, and what God has gifted me with.

I got a job, short-term, only to pull myself out of the hole I was falling into. I didn’t understand why all of the things that were happening, had to be so difficult as I was following my path, but now that I’m coming back out of the hole –I completely understand.

This taught me that my purpose is truly outside of myself. Although I thought I understood this, I now understand this on a whole new level. Even if I seem to be suffering in one perspective, in another, the places that circumstances lead me into, actually allow me to impact the lives of others.

Think about those people who do a crime, and land in prison. Although something horrible might have happened in their lives, their purpose may have been to end up in prison, so that they can motivate and inspire other inmates who may not have otherwise encountered a person like them –who had their experiences.

So when you go down your own pathway of purpose. Please remember, that even if you don’t think you are on the right path, you will always be directed EXACTLY WHERE YOU NEED TO BE. I love that. That no matter what happens, or where you end up, you are exactly where you need to be at that time in life. Nothing happens by mistake, but it is mistake to never learn from what happens…

When you learn this, you will begin to experience an ENTIRELY NEW WAY OF LIFE! You will find that your stress will dramatically decrease, you will enjoy life a HELL OF A LOT MORE, and that you will always end up alright in the end, no matter what the circumstance is 😊.

Isn’t that nice to know? I know it is for me! So, please take heed to what I say, and start to live your life with passion and to follow those passions along your path of purpose.
