Greetings!
On Friday, I published I saw no purpose of being there *** . The next day I received an email from The Chopra Center on Day 16 Uniquely Me from the Desire and Destiny Meditation Challenge. Amazingly, Oprah and Deepak happened to share with us their words of wisdom on life purposes in that meditation. (*** I edited this post and published it again on Aug. 11, 2014.)
This is part of what Oprah says in the meditation -
(Each one of us is unique) Your life purpose is always evolving. It is not something you create. It is not some great idea you come up with. Purpose is there all the time, and it's always calling you. As Kevin Cashman says - Purpose is Spirit seeking expression.
When we recognize our purpose and our innate talents, and share them freely with one another, we create a world of peace, harmony, and love. We fulfill not only our destiny, but we begin to change the world. This is how you do it - by fulfilling your purpose.
This is part of what Deepak says in the meditation -
Woven within the very fiber of our being is our divine purpose......waiting or even longing to be expressed as a gift to the world and ourselves. I believe that the purpose of life is the expansion of happiness. When we identify those things that bring the greatest joy to our lives, we are on the trail of discovering this inner truth.
Our essential purpose is always with us, and is designed to be revealed and experienced over the course of a lifetime. This part is our destiny - a collection of meaningful self-expressions that come to us spontaneously and in the moment at times, in weeks or seasons at other times, yet always present in the expression is the essence of our true selves.
Deepak also quotes Gautama Buddha's words on purpose of life -
Your purpose in life is find your purpose, and give your whole heart and soul to it. When we live in alignment with that true purpose, we are happy and create a ripple of good that emanates from within extending to everyone around us.
Dear Deepak and Oprah, I hope you won't mind me sharing your words on life purpose here. Again, my heartiest thanks to both of you and all of you at the Chopra Center. Together, may we contribute to the love, peace, and harmony of the world we live in.
If you have the meditation CD (my older son bought the trilogy of meditation for me last Christmas), Day 16 of Desire and Destiny is on Disc 4 track 4.
The centering thought of Day 16 is Bliss be my guide. Bliss be my guide. Oh, how beautiful! May bliss always be our guide. Amen.
Love and peace,
Q of D
