Evan has a great suggestion above - work with what you like to do in spare moments - what do you like to do for fun? Some other ideas: Who can you serve? Who can you help? Is there anyone in your community that needs you? What would you be going in an imaginary life? If you woke up tomorrow in a parallel life, what would you be doing? Allow yourself to not know, - coming out of school and the realities of life are a shock to all of us, life doesn't magically open up the way we thought it would - .....or does it? Find pleasure in small things, exercise more, drink less, and watch for those special moments that will guide you. Blessings Gary, and feel free to email me and sign up for our newsletter for more tips. .-= Michelle Vandepas´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/DivinePurposeUnleashed/~3/yvHx3HGSHCU/" rel="nofollow">Headed to Authorfest!</a> =-.

What do you do in your time off? What do you day dream about? Sometimes we dismiss our gift as unimportant. A friend of mine is a brilliant organiser - she has had offers from people to pay her to organise their stuff - but she doesn't value this, she can do it so it must be easy and not really valuable. Another person I know has accepted that their gift is to be a friend. So have a think about the little things, stuff you find easy and natural. Hope this stimulates some thinking for you anyway. .-= Evan´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Wellbeingandhealthnet/~3/qgkc0ZpoyMI/" rel="nofollow">Can we talk about our spiritual experience?</a> =-.

I have never known what I am supposed to do. Now I am 28, living with a friend who I could care less about, no career, and noone to relate to. I want more than anything to find my true purpose and spend the rest of my life devoted to my calling. I know I will fail, but I need to know that I am fulfilling my promise. The purpose of me sharing with you is so that I can at least feel for a minute that I am not alone in this quest. I know there are others out there like me and the despair we feel can't be ignored. I just have no idea what to do now. Yours truly. Looking Forward I have been struggling with this question for far too long. I have never known what I am supposed to do.

I think the same thing is true of your Purpose. It's not about the activity you are engaging in as much as WHO you are while you do it. Are allowing your unique light to shine in the world? I did a workshop with Larry DeRusha last year which helped me gain clarity regarding my purpose and that it is separate and distinct from my activities, my job, my career, etc. and yet I can be "on purpose" in all of these aspects of my life.

I do set goals, but in a very different way than I did 10 years ago. Now I set goals with a the intention of allowing and going with the flow. A fine line to walk. @Gary I wonder how we can say the human race has evolved while we still kill each other. Its a strange consciousness humans share. @JoLynn, It is true that you can’t find happiness looking outside yourself. I do set goals, but in a very different way than I did 10 years ago.

I think that some of us all always yearning , searching for the next step. And learning to BE, and just LIVE is the challenge. There is something deep within me that is always searching, - and for you too I bet, and we just search in different ways. Our lessons are probably the same in the biggest, largest sense, and we find our way on a separate (but same) path... I'm not on a 'happiness' quest. For me it isn't about being happy, it is about being fulfilled - from within - and knowing that I can make a difference and live to my highest potential. Sometimes that means just playing with my kid. I agree. It's all in the NOW and the BEING. Sounds like gobblygook ....... but its the truth! Promise @Tom.

It just amazes me how so often you hear how much the human race has evolved, yet we continue to to struggle with the same "pursuit of happiness" that has been the focus (theme) of many philosophers and Theologians throughout the centuries! Everyone is seeking a better, more fruitful way of being! This is the true frailty of Man--The Holy Grail to true freedom that seems to have eluded us throughout time... How have we come to this point where we are our own worst enemy? Is life, as far as growth is concerned, merely identifying and overcoming the learned programs that have stifled us? So many theories, practices, remedies, etc etc. When (how) will the inner and outer realities of Man atlast become one of great joy ? Hello Michelle!

Can my purpose change? Sure it can! And are there things I may need to do that I might not enjoy but I need to do them? Yes, and my job is to make them fun. I'm going for Joy Now, not doing what I'm doing in order to finally be joyful later. Isn't what everyone wants is to be happy? Well what if you make your goal to Be Happy Now, to Live In Joy Now instead of later? Then you're already successful. ;) Oh, and I'm not saying you don't have goals, but when I'm living in joy today, I'm no longer dependent on outside circumstances in order to "be happy". You'll figure it out for yourself, you already have the answers for yourself inside of you. ;) Hi Michelle,
