Do you feel like you’re living your life’s purpose? Or do you think you’re still searching for it?
This question was posed from RayaWasHere today and I have no idea what it means
Not that she was looking for an answer from me, this is what I told her:
Wow that’s such a hard question for me. I put still searching, but I don’t even know what that means. As someone who is tied to faith (but also not as deeply tied to Christianity as my family would like) it’s easy to say that “of course I’m living my life’s purpose bc I walk the path that God has given to me”. And I want to say that. Truly. But I also have no idea what God wants for me or what that path even looks like and it’s hard for me to have that blind faith. I want to say both. I want to say that I’m still searching and living my purpose bc I walk through Christ, but at the end of the night when I have another quarter life crisis, I hate that I’m still searching and forever might be and I hate that I can’t just leave it all on God. Idk if that makes any sense
In the time that you are reading this
In the place that you are in
On the day that you are having
Take a moment to read this scenario and ask yourself: Have you found what you’re life’s purpose is or are you still searching.
…
Ask yourself this:
What does life purpose mean to you?
It is to find your career path? Is it to make a life that is full of happiness? Is it to find:
freedom
independence
joy
peace
relationships?
Is it rooted behind:
pessimism
faith
religion
spiritual
astrology
existentialism?
Now ask yourself, if you are still searching
Is it:
attainable
tangible
a goal
a career?
Are you looking for:
a sign
answers
And if you are searching for something that is not tangible in your life’s purpose, how do you hope to acquire such a purpose?
These are all questions I am asking myself. And even though my response has been made, that is only what spoke to me first. There is a lot more confusion behind it.
This is me today:
almost 24, sitting in my room in New York City. It is raining. I am tired. I don’t have a job.
To be honest, if my life’s purpose is to follow the path of Christ, what does that mean and why do I feel like I am still searching? Am I unfulfilled with my faith? Do I not understand? Can God hear me? And if so, what am I doing wrong?
…
What is your opinion on this statement?
