Well, doesn't mean I still don't struggle with purpose at times. It doesn't help I'm ending a dream I have worked on for the last 6 years (I run a billiards tour that will end at the end of the year).
A month or so ago a coworker and I were talking about purpose, as he and his wife discuss that very feeling a lot as well. He told me that in a Ted Talk, he heard someone say once that people who are poor and/or living in tough conditions never think about their purpose in life. They are trying to find food and survive that day, so they don't have these life purpose worries and concerns that we struggle with.
I thought that was very interesting.
And over the weekend, Oprah was talking to Brother David Steindl-Rast, Benedictine monk, on her show, Super Soul Sunday, and among the many great things he shared was to trust your life. Think about that. If you sincerely trust your life, then you should have no worries about your purpose. I trust God and his plans for me and my life, and therefore, I trust my life. And should stop struggling and trying to figure out this purpose thing and realize it's all going to be okay.
