My Purpose Is Joy

In following up with the meditation sessions that I participated in recently, I also truly enjoyed the one that was devoted to your life's purpose.  This was of particular interest to me, as the question of "why am I here or what was I meant to do?" comes up so frequently among many of us.  From the time that one is young and well into adulthood the question of this life question comes up at various intervals.   People have devoted books and life courses on finding answers to some of these queries.  Not to mention that there are now businesses and life coaches that have been created to provide different avenues of support as well.  I have read and sought material through out my adult life to make sense of so many things, that I could probably fill a small library with the many great books that have contributed to my ability to arrive at answers that have allowed me to reach a peaceful existence.  There are many stages in one's life that can make this question bubble up to the surface of your thoughts, which provide for an ample amount of pondering about not only the life that one is living, but also about what happens afterwards.  The answers are so varied that it would be almost impossible to address them with one answer.  For now I will stay focused on sharing one thought that may have address many questions with one simple answer, that may help in finding your own purpose.  If you were to change your mindset and focus on the fact that you were brought to this planet to experience and facilitate joy, you might begin to make more sense of things.  The simple fact of having joy in your life and being a conduit so that others can experience this via yourself, is actually mind blowing when you think about it.  Imagine the rest of your life and each day being filled with so much joy that it overflowed and contaminated everyone that crossed your path.  The state of having a joyful existence could be so transformative, that it could redefine who you are and perhaps provide you with a road map to where you need to be.  Concentrate on the fact that you can manifest joy among yourself and to others at any given time.  Find things through out your day, week, month or year that are examples of pure joy.  Most people don't concentrate on looking for these examples, so they think that there are not many in their life.  However the truth is, every moment that you are alive can be shifted into the being of a joyful existence.  It all depends on you and your way of thinking. The more you work towards fulfilling your purpose which can be defined as joy, then perhaps the rest of the pieces of life's puzzle can actually begin to take shape for you.
