“Life is an opportunity, benefit from it.
Life is beauty, admire it.
Life is a dream, realize it.
Life is a challenge, meet it.
Life is a duty, complete it.
Life is a game, play it.
Life is a promise, fulfill it.
Life is sorrow, overcome it.
Life is a song, sing it.
Life is a struggle, accept it.
Life is a tragedy, confront it.
Life is an adventure, dare it.
Life is luck, make it.
Life is too precious, do not destroy it.
Life is life, fight for it.” ― Mother Teresa
A client said to me the other day that they were wondering what the purpose of life was. The person felt that they were on the correct path…school, university, degree, job, significant other… but that they felt not fulfilled.
My response is that you do not feel fulfilled because you are not yet self actualized. In self actualization, you feed your soul because you are doing the one thing that feels like joy, like you are doing what you are on earth to do, and you know that you are meant to be doing it right at that place and time. For many, self actualization means that they have reached a spiritual level that brings them peace and light and joy. Not everyone finds that actualization on this life journey. And many give up looking for that special thing that makes their heart feel light.
If you want to know more about self actualization, look up Maslow and the Hierarchy of Needs. This helps to explain how one gets to self actualization based on tasks and needs.
Many blessings on your journey,
Judy
