Life Purpose
"Heroic women know their purpose in life is not to satisfy their own desires, but to minister healing, love, and hope to the less fortunate." - Beverly LaHaye
I have ALWAYS known this is my life purpose, since I was a wee bit kid (although not only to the less fortunate). I used to even have a recurring nightmare where the world (globe) would blow up like a balloon and then burst under the insurmountable pressure. I was about 4. It was kind of prophetic in that I felt I had to do something to help matters. I mean, I have always felt this way. I never could just look away or ignore all that was going on in the world around me.
In elementary, I was BEST friends with the girl everyone didn't like. I was the kid who included everybody in my birthday parties and all that I was involved in. I didn't like leaving anyone out. Same in junior high and high school where when 2 groups were getting ready to jump each other, I could talk to the 2 sides and "broker" an agreement. I always remember this one kid telling me "I like you because you're popular and smart but you're still friends with me." I couldn't imagine why not. Same at places of work later throughout my life. I was the storyteller everyone huddled around.
It may be I'm a middle child that brings out the peacemaker in me. I'm not sure. But even Brian Weiss, who regressed me (yes, the FAMOUS Brian Weiss, THE authority on past-life regression ... I promise to share about this another time), told me that clearly that's what my soul was about after our session.
So, I don't know about being "heroic" and all that because this is just who I am. I simply LOVE-WORSHIP-ADORE people. I just do. I think we're all on one such cool trip. I figure why not all be in on it together. I don't get all this apart stuff one bit. Never did, thank the good Lord, never had to struggle with that and that's a blessing and a half.
P.S. What do you think your life purpose is? Do you know for sure or are you trying to figure it out? Please do share. I can't wait to hear!
