5 Signs You’re Not Living Your Life Purpose (And What to Do About It)
I know ‘purpose’ now seems like a buzzword, a cliche, a trend, another one of those bandwagons that everyone and their Mama has hopped on.
Well, it isn’t.
We just have a culture of receiving a certain knowledge and it becomes all we talk about. Maybe because its novel to us, makes it exciting and fun.
Again, it isn’t new, its’ always been there. Infact, it should rather be a crime that it isn’t the norm.
We also have a culture of normalizing what we shouldn’t and making what should be normal novel and a trend.
The problem of making things (especially the most important ones) novel and a trend is that, every trend has a short life span, no matter how long it takes (it will always fizzle out) as it should, but purpose shouldn’t be a trend and should have a lifespan for as long as humans exist.
Actually, that’s how it is, we just don’t know it.
Purpose has been there, from day 1 of creation and will always be there for as long as we exist.
The earth has a purpose,
Every living being has a purpose.
Because you don’t know what yours is doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.
It means you are abused, by you and others.
Today, its about how to know if you are not living your purpose because we can go through the motions of life, busy, stuck, in a rut, unfulfilled, unhappy or in contrast, you might be totally excited about life, making lots of money, etc, but still not know what your life’s calling is.
How do you look at your life and say, ‘oh goodness! I’m not living my purpose’. You are:
- Unfulfilled. Have you ever been doing a job or business that sucks the life out of you? You’re not excited to do it and you can drop it all and walk away if you could? You are there because you don’t have a better option and it pays the bills. You know in your heart that even if you get more money to do the exact same thing and even if you the money you earn makes you financially free and you don’t have to worry about money ever again, you will still not love what you do or want to do it. You’ll rather save up that money and leave to figure out something else.
2. Suffocated: Have you ever felt like you can’t breathe? Everything suffocates you. You just want to leave, the city, the office, the environment, the relationship, wherever you are at that moment, you just want to leave there, totally and completely. You are not satisfied anymore with what felt like your normal. Your normal isn’t enough anymore. And it may not even be that you desire a bigger anything, you just want to leave where you are and this feeling lingers over and again. This particular point is a physical reaction, you can feel it.
3. Unfit. Have you ever felt like you don’t know where you belong? You always feel like the odd one out, a pariah, not good enough, not enough, in the wrong room, amongst the wrong group. In a room full of people but you feel alone. Close to someone but you feel miles away?
4. Love Life: This happens a lot to people in relationships and even marriage. Our significant other is a mirror to us and have a way of showing us what we’ve been avoiding and should pay attention. Nothing shows you how good or terrible you actually are like a relationship.
When in a relationship, you seem like in a different world than your partner. they’re awesome but not just for you. They’re brilliant but not on your level even when you know you aren’t the most brilliant
You know that they really can’t help you get to where you believe you’ll be getting to even when the sex is good, you look good together and they seem like a catch.
5. Hunger: You have an inexplicable desire to do great things. Make an impact. Just do something that will mean something, move the needle, but you don’t know what it is and where to start. Your heart desires a certain life, hungers for more, hopes for different, believes for bigger but there’s no anchor, no compass to point you to where to go to or where to start. You just don’t know what it is and what it means and you still can’t seem to shake it off.
And so many more…
If you’ve experienced any or all of these, you are not living a life you were destined to live. You are existing and not living. You’re surviving and not flourishing.
You were made to flourish,
You were made for more,
You were made for bigger.
And you can have it (a bigger, flourishing life where the more you desire is your reality).
