I used to get real frustrated about not knowing my purpose either... then one day--and I honestly cannot remember what sparked it--I took a long look not at what I do or what I want to do for a living, not at jobs I've had or wanted, not at careers that bring purpose... but at ME. I took a long look at who I have been and how I have been all through my lifetime, and discovered that there was a common thread going all the way back to childhood.

I make people feel better. Whether I'm making them laugh, listening when their hearts are broken, or just sharing time with them, I make people feel better.

These days there are so many forces arrayed on the side of making people feel worse and worse, I figure making them feel better is a pretty good purpose for my life. When I'm doing okay I bring sunshine and the hope of springtime to everyone; when I'm not okay I still bring love and compassion. That's who I am, what I do, and my purpose for living all rolled into one.

Maybe you can find something in your life that speaks to your purpose like that too? Maybe you've been fulfilling your life's purpose all along and just haven't recognized the value of it yet? We're alike in a lot of ways, love--I'm willing to bet this is one of them.
