I have been trying to find the ultimate calling of my life. I am finding it hard to specifically point the one thing that I would excel and have the passion for so that my work becomes my play. The course of my life has been such that any passionate and deep longing and wish that I recognize, materializes with time. I am just lost with wanting to know what is that I can do now, to make the world a better place and also enjoy doing it.
I hope to answer these prime questions to realize my super-life with some help from you.
For some background info: I am 29y and from an well-to-so middle class family. I had a daughter 2 years back. I am usually liked by most who know me. I bring energy, optimism and life with my presence.
Marriage is something that I am still learning, was married early at 21y to a person I love. But, with my convictions and discipline, problems do stem up with day to day happenings. I am working towards understanding myself and the others better.
Life itself is its own purpose. If there was a purpose and we found it or completed it, life would have to end. And life is unending, vast, limitless, timeless…so it is better to forget about any purpose and live life fully
Yes this is Truth- “Life is”, and needs no purpose to be what it is—

I think the purpose of life is the experience of being alive and to become aware of this concept is probably the purpose.
To the One above asking about your ultimate calling-
May I re-quote you-
“I bring energy, optimism and life with my presence”
Life’s purpose for us as humans is to grow every day and every lifetime. Every day offers us lessons to learn and we have to pay attention and be good students. Each of us is at a different level of schooling, so the lessons are specific and custom-made. Sometimes I find it difficult listening about enlightenment, because it feels like a first grader student asked to solve a problem from university level. So I share here what I tell myself as a first grader:
Every day I want to find ways to know His presence. Every day I want to find ways to know His Will better. Every day I want to learn more discipline to be in alignment with His Will. Every day I want to find ways to know His Love better and to be a channel of this Love. Every day I try to get myself better.
I try to be as simple as possible in order to hear and love. I try to be as present as possible in order to hear and love. I try to stay open and quiet – all the answers come through that inner voice.
Yes this is true too…in the human experience purpose gives meaning to life…
Love,
Gyanama
I used to get caught up in the want to be’s and should be’s. Let go of those things, and doing too much. When I finally just let go and let it be, that is when I was at peace with were I was in the present. Don’t fight it flow with it and it will take you.
I have been looking for my calling and for the purpose of life, all my life and found absolutely nothing. Ever since I was a little girl I found everything extremely boring and meaningless and even when presented with a challenge my question always was: is that all there is?
At 65 I’m certain that I would find comfort in enlightment, but is very hard to achieve. I have have a really hard time controlling my wandering mind and lack discipline.
Any suggestions?
I suggest lie down in bed and do not get up. Waiting for death or enlightenment (both excellent escapes). Just sleep or watch TV, skip meals – do not try to get up cause life is boring and purposeless. I mean your.
