A sense of purpose
is at the very top of the pyramid of self-actualization created by Abraham
Maslow more than 50 years ago.
Through his
research, Dr. Maslow discovered that:
those who feel purposeful are living the
highest qualities that humanity has to offer.
During the many
years I’ve been in the fields of human development, motivation, and spiritual
awareness, this is the topic that more people inquire about than anything else.
I’m repeatedly asked
questions such as:
How do I find
my purpose? Does such a thing really exist? Why don’t I know my purpose in
life?
Being on purpose is
what the most self-actualized people accomplish on their life journeys.
But many individuals
feel little sense of purpose, and may even doubt that they have a
purpose in life.
The very fact of
your existence indicates that you have a purpose.
The key question for
most of us is: “What is my purpose?”
And I hear that
question in as many forms as there are people wondering about it:
What am I
supposed to be doing? Should I be an architect, a florist, or a veterinarian?
Should I help people or fix automobiles?
Am I supposed
to have a family or be in the jungle saving the chimpanzee?
We’re befuddled by
the endless number of options available to us, and wonder whether we’re doing
the right thing.
I urge you to forget
these questions.
Move instead to a
place of faith and trust in the universal mind, remembering that you emanated
from this mind and that you’re a piece of it at all times.
In response to the
question What should I do with my life?, I suggest that there’s only one
thing you can do with it, since you came into this life with nothing and
you’ll leave with nothing: You can give it away.
You’ll feel most on
purpose when you’re giving your life away by serving others. When you’re giving
to others, to your planet, and to your Source, you’re being purposeful.
Whatever it is that
you choose to do, if you’re motivated to be of service to others while being
authentically detached from the outcome, you’ll feel on purpose, regardless of
how much abundance flows back to you.
Allow yourself to be
in the feeling place within you that’s unconcerned with such things as
vocational choices or doing the things you were destined to do.
When you’re in the
service of others, or extend kindness beyond your own boundaries, you’ll feel
connected to your Source.
You’ll feel happy
and content, knowing that you’re doing the right thing.
I get that feeling
of inner completion and contentment that lets me know that I’m on purpose by
reading my mail or hearing the comments I so frequently hear when I’m walking through
airports or eating at restaurants: You changed my life, Wayne Dyer. You were
there for me when I felt lost.
This is different
from receiving a royalty payment or a great review, which I also enjoy.
The personal
expressions of gratitude are what sustain me in knowing that I’m on purpose.
Outside of my chosen
occupation, I feel purposeful in a myriad of ways virtually every single day.
When I extend
assistance to someone in need, when I take a moment to cheer up a disgruntled
employee in a restaurant or store, when I make a child laugh who sits otherwise
ignored in a stroller, or even when I pick up a piece of litter and place it in
a trash can, I feel that I’m giving myself away and, as such, feel purposeful.
Stay focused on giving and your purpose will find you.
