Their three questions Be Your true purpose in life to find the answer
There have been times in my life when I sat down and thought: What is the meaning of life?
Why are we here?
This is my life be?
Is that all there is in life?
Who will remember me when you are away?
Sometimes my answers to these questions were not very positive. At times my answer was rather negative and cussing involved. Once I feel helpless and sorry for myself. I also have a pity party.
Then I thought: What is a problemwith you? You should be thankful for all your blessings. I will begin reciting the ancient words that "I feel sorry for me because I had no shoes, so I have a man who had no feet together."
If any reader that does not occur at least one of these ideas can stand up and informed. If you're up, you will find on other things. We all, without exception, are questioning our existence and purpose in life at one time or another. Welcome to the club of self-doubt,A charter member only man.
What that gives you no real-temporary happiness in your life here on planet Earth? Realization? Money? Legal? The perfect soul mate? They're not found lasting happiness and peace of mind is not.
There are many things in my background to suggest that I should be happy with the blessing and I am sure that I am in a sense, but I was never very pleased with myself and my purposelife.
I think my reason for this, I was forced to respond in writing to these three questions:
Who am I?
What I wanted to do here?
What I'm trying to do with my life?
Finding answers to these questions and write them down was not an easy task, but it has to do makes me happier than I ever did in life. Why? Now I understand why my place in the universe, and I have confidence in myself and my role in life, but a husband, father andThe grandfather of my family.
After much debate and soul search, here is what I found myself
Who am I? I am a widow and a man of great integrity who has become a professional writer.
There are three key words of this statement, the survivors, integrity, authors. I am a widow, because I grew up in a very dysfunctional family. As a man of great integrity, I learned quickly that I could not stand the lies, fraud and theft. The Bible says: Proverbs Chapter 20 verse 7: "The righteousMan comes in his integrity, his children are blessed after him. "I am convinced that man and man has always been. As a writer, I realized my ability to communicate with the written word early and used it, my God – a gift given to a professional writer.
What I wanted to do here? Serve others.
Be sober, I have more than 6 years of my life spent waiting for God to show a couple of important goals in my life. Finally, thankfully, slowly, I realized that withoutno great revelation that there is really only one reason for me to be here, and was to serve others and not for me. This epiphany of personal growth on my part, I continued happiness for the first time in my life.
What I'm trying to do with my life? I use my writing to bring the knowledge, understanding and ideas to life, which encourage and motivate people to determine their true potential.
Perhaps Albert Schweitzer said it best: "I do not know what yourdestiny will be, but one thing I'm not the only means to you, who will be really happy are those who have sought and found ways to serve. "
