Fulfilment and Purpose

LIFE offers many lessons to be learnt to enable us to feel happy and fulfilled within our relationships, our choices of education, careers and home life.
Many people don’t feel they have choices and therefore never feel happy and fulfilled and this also results in them feeling that they have no life purpose. Ultimately we naturally, as human beings, seek experiences which will make us feel good about ourselves and want to be liked and appreciated by others.
When people look outside of themselves they often presume that others are happier, luckier, and have more fulfilling lives, but this isn’t always the case.
A sense of fulfilment and purpose comes in many guises and is unique to each of us. Usually it is within relationships we feel this most, and as, with most emotions, the feelings may fluctuate or be quite stable over periods of time. Knowing we have a purpose in life, no matter what our religious or spiritual beliefs are, it is a human need to feel we are doing good and are being valued by others for our actions, and ultimately affirming who we are.
We are responsible for the choices we make and the forms of learning we undertake to grow as purposeful individuals. We cannot expect others to do it for us, they can help to show the way and guide us, but they cannot truly know what is right for another person. One person’s purpose may not suit another, and even similar, can be experienced differently. Some people set themselves up to fail by comparing themselves to others, who they think have got it made. Money and fame tends to influence, especially younger people, and those who have low self belief, who also do not realise that all things need to be worked towards, especially having material possessions and well paid jobs.
Purposeful activity and lifestyles can be seen within loving supportive families and communities all around us. We don’t all have to aspire to be ‘Mother Teresa’s’ or the ‘Secret Millionaire’. People who enjoy their jobs and are serving others in some capacity, offering simply a smile or a kind word can make everything worthwhile for the giver and the receiver. Learning a new skill, becoming a parent or grandparent, making new friends are all times when people feel fulfilled and have a purpose.
Many people are currently breaking away from jobs and relationships that are leaving them feeling unfulfilled and unhappy and unable to feel a sense of purpose. They are taking risks, often because they choose to, and sometimes because they are forced to. However, there is always a light at the end of the tunnel when they can get through it and see the opportunities that are out there. Their life’s purpose may just be waiting for them round the corner once they have embraced change.
