I’ve read an interesting post on another forum about life purpose. Hollywood movies would have us believe that it has to be some grand story such as becoming famous, successful or finding one true love of your life.

But how about something mundane? How about being the first one to have a college degree in your family? How about breaking a family trauma cycle? Helping animals? Being a healer?

Just something to ponder about 🙂

What if it's just...to live. That's it. Exist, learn, enjoy the moments, feel the pain. All of it. Life is the purpose of life.

I like the idea of a redemption arc. Like to be at the top for a time, then hit the rock bottom hard enough to instantly kill most people. Yet you crawl your way out and become the strongest spiritual form possible in this experience.

At 41 years old I’m still trying to figure out my life’s purpose. Perhaps I’ll never figure it out….perhaps by this age it’s too late?

Follow the energy, things you are passionate about and energizes you. Things make you smile ...a sense of fulfillment.

No such thing as too late, maybe not the way you originally wanted but so long as it's within the same concept/theme you're good.

Ie. It's like you can't be a astronaut but how about something else in NASA, to be apart of the program in a big way?

You will know what's right for you.

My life purpose was always to build a family, work at something creative I love, live near the ocean and mountains in a safe and friendly environment and have enough money to be free of worry and debt.

Despite the bumps in the road and twists and turns, I feel I’ve achieved that

Isn’t reproduction the most basic life purpose of animals? 😅

Yep, that's me. All I ever truly cared about. Wishing my baby dolls would come to life, lol. My actually babies were more beautiful than my baby dolls. Even now they still motivate me... trying to leave my babies and my babies' babies a nice stack... Virgo says fuck that spend it all, lol. All he cares about is me and him and is loving this stage of life... been waiting to get me alone.
