There comes a time I believe in one's life where you know exactly what you need and want, a time when without a shadow of a doubt you can clearly articulate what you want to pursue, what you want to achieve and what spaces you want to exist in. The thing is, this magic does not come at the same time for all of us, there are no buttons you can press to kick off 'my purpose alive' programme, this can be frustrating if you have never been intentional about figuring it out. A lot of emphases has been placed on doing what you love, the problem starts when you have absolutely no idea as to how to get it or when the pursuit seems an impossible journey to start.
These are the times where one has to dig deep (like the idols judges say) honestly though, it is looking into a place in yourself that you have never really bothered going before and assessing your strengths, converting your weaknesses. Listen to that inner voice that has been trying to get your attention, truly interrogate your interests and all the things that excite you. Get help! Really, getting help and guidance from people who have walked the path before you will teach you valuable life lessons, tools and tricks to navigate this life. Yes, I know the way we have been socialised, which is totally horrible, asking for help comes across as admitting failure or as a sign of weakness, we need to get over this. What I've learnt over the years is, the more you let time pass and not seek the assistance, you hinder your own progress.Living with no purpose can be sad and draining, you're always toiling and reaching aimlessly for an undefined goal. Take the power into your own hands, if it calls for you to redefine your dream then do that, if it calls for a rebirth then do that and if it calls for severe action then think about it long and hard then go for it.
Life is too short to be miserable and merely existing, keep in mind that "It does not do, to dwell on dreams and forget to live".
