purpose
purpose
may not be given
but it can be found
purpose
is what gives you a reason to get up in the morning
and greet your day
with a joy
some people know from as far back as they can remember
what they are here for in this world
and they pursue this purpose
with unwavering energy
and commitment
until they die
others
probably the majority of people
may not know for some time
sometimes for a long time
what their purpose could possibly be
if that is you
don't worry
it will come to you
but it can only come to you if you start
doing something that has meaning
so
find something to do that has meaning
for you
if that's your job or your work
wonderful
if it isn't
don't panic
there will be something else
looking after your children or after your parents
doing some volunteering to help those who need help
connecting with others to fight for a cause you believe in
studying or learning a new skill or going on a journey or building a shed
it may be big it may be small
it may not mean much to anyone else
as long as it means something to you
it will have and will be a purpose
whatever it is though
you'll find it invariably involves
doing
this doesn't have to be spectacular
it doesn't have to be physically exhausting
it does not have to be busy
it can be calm
it can be quiet
it can be still
thinking is doing
writing is doing
collecting objects and cataloguing them for posterity
is doing
walking your friend's dog is doing
as is walking your own
what matters is not
how much you do
or how much what you do
makes you feel like you're doing something
what matters is
that what you do
matters to you
and if you don't know where to start or what to do
try things out
start with something and see where it takes you
it may yet surprise you
