Are You Living Your Purpose?

by Bruce D. Schneider, Ph. D.

Though we are all one energy force, one mind, and One Spirit, each

soul incarnated into a specific form on earth for a unique purpose. We

are here to experience different situations and similar situations

differently, and to share these experiences with the Universe, our

total consciousness. There are many different journeys to share. This

is why there is more than one soul experiencing this world.

Your journey is now and exists at this moment, whether you realize it

or not. It will be more enjoyable if you consciously pursue your

spiritual purpose to bring the world to Love. You do this by

expressing Love in whatever you do, and most easily express it when

doing what you do best. Consciously following your spiritual purpose

brings you ultimate joy, balance, peace, freedom, and happiness.

You have seen them. He is the conductor exuding power and poise as his

orchestra performs a beautiful medley. She is the lawyer who fights

for her client's life as if it were her own child on trial. She is the

waitress who serves customers with as much enthusiasm and caring as

her personal friends. And he is the gas station attendant who still

cleans your windshield even when his co-workers won't. Who are these

people? They are spiritual beings who breathe life into their work.

They are people who express themselves in what they do, and not simply

for financial reward. They do it because they couldn't do their job

any other way. They are living their soul's purpose and consciously

doing what they do with Love, and they are happier than most.

Have you ever felt something missing in your life? If so, this could

be the reason: The soul has a twofold purpose in each lifetime: (1)

the universal purpose to rediscover itself as Love, and (2) an

individual purpose to experience a specific role it can do better or

differently than any other soul in a given lifetime. The latter

enables the soul to help itself and other souls more easily rediscover

Love. In other words, your individual purpose is the best way to

promote the universal purpose.

There are no " ideal " jobs. Not every person should be a healer or a

teacher. We need conductors, lawyers, waitresses, and gas station

attendants. Each person lives his or her purpose by performing his or

her job in a spiritually loving way, which reaps the many rewards of a

purposeful and relatively stress-free life.

We are special

Each of us can do something totally unique. The challenge is to

discover your spiritual " niche " on earth, so you can realize your

potential for happiness. If you live untrue to this niche, your energy

will be unaligned with the Universal Energy, and you are likely to

feel something missing in your life. You'll experience a feeling of

dissonance, which can lead to disease.

Let us suppose, for example, that in this life you can best serve the

journey of Love by expressing yourself as a salesperson. But because

of your free will, you did not choose that line of work. This can

cause " dis-ease " in the form of unhappiness or even physical illness.

Disease is a sign you aren't following a connected life, body, mind,

and spirit. Clients who discovered this and how it was best for them

to work, achieved more gratification in their lives. Some actually

healed their physical conditions just by making certain changes in how

they perceived their work. By understanding and living their

individual purpose, they filled the void created by a disconnection to

the Divine and removed the feeling that something was " missing. "

Application: Hit the lottery and know your purpose

One of the surest ways to know if you are living your purpose is to

imagine winning the lottery and having all the money you'll ever need.

If you'd choose to continue doing what you do, it is surely your

purpose. The rewards of living your soul's purpose go far beyond

money. If you think you'd retire, you may just be burned out. If you

do hit the lottery, take a vacation and then do what you do with Love,

instead of just going through the motions. You never need to retire

from Love. You can always serve your purpose and enjoy what you are

doing and how you are doing it for a lifetime.

When you are connected to your spiritual purpose, your life becomes

easier and more satisfying and rewarding. Why? Because you are no

longer operating as an isolated individual out of tune with the

Universe. Instead, you are working with the Universe, consciously

connected to the Universal Mind and utilizing the vast potential of

the energy around you. When you find your true purpose, the Universe

has no choice but to help you by providing information and energy.
