7 Reasons for Living Your Purpose Now

Are You Living Your Purpose?

We are living in a transformational time on the planet, and we are being pushed, at a spiritual level, to align to our life purpose and share our gifts and talents with the world. That is why so many of us feel a deep longing inside, an urge to do meaningful work—work that makes us feel alive and makes a difference.

There is an epidemic use of anti-depressants and anti-anxiety medication that is just a Band-Aid for the underlying issue of being disconnected from one’s true self and one’s true purpose. Some people, at some point, could need medication, but suppressing who we really are and what we came here to do has deep consequences of making us feel despair, hopelessness and it creates anxiety and depression.

These are some of the reasons why the perfect time for living our purpose is “now,” and it cannot wait for “someday”. Someday is not in the calendar and life is really short. We know that we are here today, but we never know when we are leaving this beautiful planet; so read on…

 
7 Reasons Why the Time for Living Your Purpose is “Now”

1. There is a lot of discomfort and dissatisfaction that we feel when we are not in alignment with our unique purpose.

We feel a longing that gets louder and louder, and we tend to feel out of place because we are not doing what we came here to do. That discomfort is actually giving us feedback; the stronger the discomfort, the more feedback we are getting.

2. From a holistic perspective, things can get very uncomfortable in other areas of our lives when we are unfulfilled.

Our career can affect our relationships, our personal life and our health; all is connected. When we are out of alignment in one area it will create a ripple effect in other areas of our lives as well.

3. There is a special kind of joy and a deep level of fulfillment that we won’t feel with anything else in our life.
