Living Your True Purpose

By John Holland

We’ve all at one time or another asked ourselves those deep and profound questions, such as: “Who am I?” “Why am I here?” or even the million-dollar question: “Where am I going and how on earth do I get there?” No sooner have you asked one of those, and the next one pops into the consciousness: “There’s got to be more to life than this!” Does this sound all too familiar?

For the longest time since I got my dog, Koda, I’ve grown increasingly interested in all animals, but especially dogs! While preparing for Koda’s arrival, I’d read numerous books on animals and watched lots of DVD’s. I’ve since worked closely with the local animal shelters in my neighborhood to raise money. I’ve also participated in classes and workshops on how to care for dogs and other animals. It may sound like overkill to some to get so deeply immersed, but my soul has been constantly prompting me to do this work as a balance to the work that I do as a medium.

Recently, I took it up a notch and spent a day as a volunteer at a veterinary clinic, where I got to observe the veterinarians working on many animals. I sat in with the vet assistant talking to clients about different issues, and of course helped care for the animals that were treated that day. It was a magical day, and I learned so much from some really wonderful people. I plan to volunteer there every chance I can. I’m not sure where this will lead, but I truly feel as though I’m being guided to do this work, and more importantly, I’m aware that I’m living my soul purpose.

I know I’ve often written about soul purpose, but for my new friends to my articles, let me clarify what I mean by soul purpose. We all have important work to do while we’re here on this earth, and go about our daily lives in physical form to fulfill our souls’ purpose. Sometimes, people can get confused if they think that their career, goals, or tasks are their soul purpose.
