Let Your Purpose Find You


"give life to meaning ~ live a life that deeply matters, you matter "



“Let the beauty we love be what we do." Rumi ~


Purpose is love, not just little-l love, but Big Love, the grand affair that defines a life — first between you and your better, fuller, truer, worthier self; and then between  "you" that self and the world. And the longer you spend, insulated in the armour of detachment, icy cool in your igloo — the longer you’re on vacation in the wastelands of the empty tundras of the human soul-

true purpose will dance on by~


Your purpose will — just maybe — find you. Like every kind of Big Love, it’s not in your control. It strikes, finally, suddenly, when least expected, with the full fury of a hurricane. Or it gathers around you, building slowly, like snow melting into spring. But the more it’s painstakingly stalked, thought about, and carefully hunted, cajoled and wheedled, coaxed and lured with toy-store promises — the more it just seems to rumble off into the dusty horizon ~ like tumbleweed aimlessly blowing across desert sands with you chasing, "Where's my purpose have you seen my purpose " ~ Want purpose?



 Prepare to be left black and blue —bruised and battered time and time again ~  Purpose confronts you fiercely;  it’s no mere shadow-boxing  candy floss  more  often feels like  a bare-knuckle gladiatorial contest between you, and the heavyweight champion known as a 'life that matters'

Like Big Love, it doesn’t just give you scrapes — it leaves with you scars and

a near-overwhelming sense of absolute fulfilment and joy ~  Essentially between the pages of purpose you get to know yourself amidst the ups and downs of life,


There isn't a singular, straightforward, or definitive meaning to life. Rather, it is the scars of purpose that ultimately do more than just provide meaning to life; they grant us a greater privilege — the ability to breathe life into meaning.


The Dance of Purpose and Lost Creativity ~ Found


When we come to understand that creativity embodies a higher form of intelligence and grasp its authentic essence, we can further affirm that personal creativity serves as the soul’s radiance lighting our life journey. As our intrinsic power, it signifies our genuine voice—the Soul’s Voice-in-time. The soul articulates its aspirations for our lives through the gentle whisper of the Innate Creator, intricately woven into the fabric of the soul’s existence. We are more inclined to unlock our human potential when the Innate Creator, our inner essential nature inspires us to play, embrace risks, and cultivate creations that nourish, delight, support livelihood and foster our growth.


When we overlook the power of creative imagination and the enchanting aspects of our true selves, we forfeit the chance to think both imaginatively and logically. This leads to the emergence of elitist myths surrounding creativity, such as the beliefs that “only certain individuals possess creativity” or “I lack the talent to be creative.” Such misguided thinking neglects the understanding that many creative individuals create not for ego gratification, but rather from a place of spiritual openness, tapping into those enlightening “aha” moments of inspiration.



Creativity is about embracing and expressing our unique vision.We shine in brilliance when we harness our creative force; igniting our own candle illuminates the shadows. Fragments of soul light scatter everywhere, allowing others to perceive. Thus, our own vision becomes clearer. Similar to stars twinkling in the sky, soul energy illuminates the earthly panorama.The decision to be a producer rather than just a consumer lies in our hands. At its core, this is al choice.


 We should remember the words of William Blake: “Creativity is the journey of the self reconnecting with the soul’s vibration.” When we harness our creative power, we resonate at a higher frequency. We become lighter, more refined, and increasingly aligned with the energies of the Soul.

 How do we rekindle our inherent creative potential?


Embrace the wonder, and all else follows ~ including Purpose
