You May Not Feel Like It Right Now, But You Have A Purpose

There is a reason you are alive, you may not know it at the moment, but you will eventually.

Have you ever gone through life and lost the point? Your purpose slips your mind and you start to think why you are still moving forward when you have no reason as to why. I've been there - I think we all have. That is a normal thing to think and a hard thing to go through. In no way am I saying that you should think like this, in fact, I am telling you why you shouldn't.

Whatever you are going through in life, it will get better. No matter what life throws at you, you have a purpose; you have a reason for being here and being alive. It may take time for you to see your purpose, but you will find it. If I am being completely honest, I am not really sure if I have found my purpose yet. However, I am okay with that because I know I will find it one day.

Everyone has a purpose. That purpose could be small like rising a child and making them what the best they possibly could or decorating someone's house and making them a house that would help them feel at home. Maybe it is a big purpose like saving someone's life or becoming president and changing the world. Everyone has a purpose, you will find it.

Personally, I am leaving purpose to God. I will always believe that He has a plan for me and there is a reason behind everything He puts me through. Through all of it, I will find my purpose and my point. There will always be something to make you think that you have no point. If there is something that makes you feel like you have no point, that is unfortunate. There are two things I do when I feel like that: Turn to a friend and turn to God.

Throughout your life, even if you don't feel like it, always remember that you have a purpose. There was a reason you were put onto this earth and a reason you are here right now. Don't take your life for granted. How I am finding my purpose is through writing. Whether I write it and share it or write it and keep it to myself, it still helps me find a purpose and think of what my point is. Like I said, I am unsure of what my purpose is, but I have an idea. I am starting the believe that my purpose is helping people and I choose to do it through my writing. However, I am not totally sure if that is it, but that's okay.

A person can have more than one purpose; multiple reasons to be alive. Mine could be helping people along with something I haven't figured out yet. You might have a purpose right now but there will be more along the road. Even if one purpose is all you find, that is still so important. Never forget that there is a reason behind your life. You may not think that right now, but there is.

If you don't feel like you have a purpose, talk about it. You won't start to feel better if you keep all your feelings inside. You have people that are there for you, go talk to them. You are not alone. You have people that are here for you. If you don't want to turn to them, turn to a higher belief. Personally, I chose to turn to God in my times of struggle.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
