Here you will discover that your inner child was not so wrong. And while we can’t change how it all started, we can stop now and decide how we’re going to end.

Your purpose will change according to your openness of consciousness. In the first phase you may feel attracted by the immediate satisfaction that a certain activity brings you, but when you have immersed yourself in it, you will begin to glimpse the greater and more beautiful goal behind it. Each person’s purpose is unique because it has to do with their gifts and their burdens and blessings in their life, so never try to compete with someone else. If you want to compete, it will be with yourself to reach your best version.

I hope you find your purpose and begin to enjoy the wonderful enthusiasm that will be born in you. Etymologically, enthusiasm derives from éndon (within) and Teós (God), that is, an enthusiastic person is guided by the strength and wisdom of a God. It would be something like possessed by God, with God inside you or with God in your heart. Is it not beautiful?

Finally, remember that you will understand the purpose better if you live in surrender. Surrender is a tremendously emotional process that never ends, because you can always surrender a little more, surrender another tiny part of yourself. And everything can still be more beautiful. When you accept to live aligned with God, the Universe or Life, you put your life at the service of Love and from there, synchronicities and wonderful things happen. Then you no longer have as much control over your activity, because you become a tool of Life that uses you to continue growing. You begin to be a channel of the Source! So when you are successful (which you will be!), don’t let your mind make you believe that you did it because of how fantastic you are. With each success, look to the sky gratefully, smile and whisper to Life to continue expressing itself through you.

Exercise:

1) Think about what you spent most of your time as a child. What activity was your time wasting away on? What activity did others tell you you were good at? Write it down on paper.

2) Now think about the professions you liked as a child: farmer, singer, police officer, doctor, etc. As a child, no one knows what it means to be a doctor; you don’t even think about whether you’re scared of blood or whether you’ll be able to open a thorax. What you do know is that you want to heal others, help them. The same goes for a police officer. You don’t know if you like guns or if you want to see murders, what you know is that you want to protect. This is how you should do it with your professions. You must “translate” all of these professions into the corresponding emotion they represented for you. Do you understand? Write them down.

3) Then make a list of the things you are good at now and enjoy. Write them down.

When you have everything on paper, color in the same color the terms and ideas that are repeated or mean the same thing. When you’re done, you’ll realize there aren’t that many colors. Let’s say you have 4 colors left. Draw 4 circles each of that color and write within it the global term that summarizes it, along with one or two words representative of the activity. Well, in the middle of these 4 circles, you are going to have to find an area that includes all the representative words. Write the activities that bring together the 4 circles. If it doesn’t exist, you’ll have to invent what activity could contain them all. From this short list of activities, there is surely already one that you like more than the rest or with which you can start more easily. Well, now it’s basically about getting started.
