What Is Your Purpose?

[Ronin]

Can I just borrow @Cashews?

Any day, heart.

I think of this often. What is my purpose.

Like @Cashew I have different modes.

When in survivor mode- it's to wake up, go to sleep, and not rage out on everyone I love. So my entire goal is to make it through the day alive and not hurt anyone around me

Normal mode- to spread some love, compassionate, and ears to those that need it

I was living and loving my life's purpose. But then it was all yanked away from me 3 years ago. I've been floundering since. For as long as I can remember it's been about taking care of and advocating for others. But now I can barely manage to care for myself.

It hurts like hell because I committed my all to it.

It's taken awhile to accept that loving and caring for others is only half the equation. Today I'm working on the other half- me. Still feels selfish, but little by little I'm learning to feel compassion for me. And trying to grasp the paradox that what I do for me, I also do for others.

...Good thing I believe in reincarnation.:banghead: :mad:

Boy I hope I don't get reincarnated I can't imagine having to go through this twice. :eek: :dead:

Oh ya, the question :p . I offer what I go through up for a specific reason, & I try to make peoples' day(s) better. As to a purpose, I have absolutely none.

(My purpose may be for others to practice their patience?.. :sick: )

You got it @Stickler :) *offers up some kindness, compassion, and freshly swabbed ears ;)*

 

[Ronin]

I'm all ears for ears, too.

New and well working ears sound so handy.

@Junebug
...I am here to help many people practice their patience...May not exactly be my purpose, but it kinda works out that way anyway?
Not like they don't return the favor, though.

...I shall try to think of this as a positive service that is both given and received, going forward...

( If you are wondering whether I am kidding or serious, the answer is yes)

No idea what my "purpose" is. I find that too overwhelming to think about as it was a key part of the cult I grew up in. Now I look at "goals". Sort of keep my eye on the next prize thing so I can keep moving forward toward...something, anything.

Some days that's getting out of bed and showering. Other days I can reach a bit more and work on my travel plans. Right now it's to complete a dry January and start running again. So, that's my purpose/goal for the next few weeks. Then I'll see where I'm at.

I serve primarily as a warning sign to others. But I'm only 43, so we'll see.

I am Void.

So your favorite activity is staring back at people if they stare? ;)
