What is My life Purpose?

Most people will ask at some point, “Why am I here?” It can be a scary question or a thrilling one. Leaning into the discomfort of this existential question can lead to a better sense of self and more rewarding paths forward.

Finding your purpose in life adds psychological and emotional improvements and satisfaction to your life . You want more zest, more flavour, more fullness. In the strictest sense, you want to become a better person.You want to wake up excited, jumping out of bed with a thirst for life that you haven’t felt since you were a child. Think of uncovering your passion like the work of a master sculptor, slowly chipping away the stone to reveal the masterpiece underneath.

Your life’s purpose is this masterpiece, simply lurking beneath the surface, waiting to be released. It is in life is as unique to you as your fingerprint. We all have a particular set of talents, experiences, skill sets , and interests that light us up. Purpose is related to these, but it is your reason for being.

You need a sense of purpose to sustain you over time. And even when life feels like a series of compromises, you can still discover and connect to your purpose by exploring what brings you joy and dedicating more time to it.

why finding your life purpose is important ?

Have you ever woken up in a dark room with no source of light at all? Did you manage to do anything worthwhile? That’s how living a life without a clear purpose is.

When you live life with no purpose, you lack the Meaning of Life!

Here is the importance of finding your purpose and how it can help you improve the quality of your life:

1. Your purpose is the reason you get up every morning and can lead to better relationships and improved physical health. Life without a clear purpose can get boring and unsatisfying. Once you find and understand your purpose, your life will never be the same again. You’ll start attracting things you’ve always wanted into your life. You’ll have health, wealth, and peace of mind. Remember, everything starts from within. Your outer world is a clear reflection of your inner world.A purposeless life will always manifest fear, worry, and poverty. Since you want to live a meaningful life, pay attention to your thinking patterns and set aside a few daily minutes to find and clarify your purpose.

2. Having a clear vision on your life purpose will serve you in challenging your limiting beliefs, which will assist you in flying far from the life you were living before you unveiled the meaning behind your existence. Understanding that there is a bigger cause, will trigger your big picture thinking, and you will find yourself dismissing the old limiting beliefs that kept you stagnated and restricted.

How to Find Your Life Purpose?

Here are few tips to help you unfold your life purpose:

Identifying your values :

Values exist, whether you recognise them or not. Life can be much easier when you acknowledge your values – and when you make plans and decisions that honor them.

If you value family, but you have to work 70-hour weeks in your job, will you feel internal stress and conflict! And if you don’t value respect, and you tolerate bullying at work or in life, people in your life who disrespect you in some way, this will create extreme stress and anxiety caused by the absence of alignment in your life.

When you know your own values, you have clarity on what works for you, and what does not, what add value to your life, and what does not, you also know where to invest your time and energy, and what or who is not in resonance of your soul vibration, and does not fit your path.

  • What job should I pursue?
  • What type of relationships I want to attract?
  • Should I start my own business?
  • Should I compromise, or be firm with my position?
  • Should I follow tradition, or should I forge my own path?
  • What do I value the most?

So, take the time to understand the real priorities in your life, and you’ll be able to determine the best direction for you.

Explore Your Passions :

Your passions or your hobbies are a key indicator to what your soul purpose might be, in fact, your soul purpose might be ingrained in them that it is difficult to spot it. Try to spend time exploring your interests, because your soul purpose is what you are good at, the thing you do effortlessly. If you are finding it difficult to find it, ask your friends and family to tell you what they think you are the best at, something that comes naturally to you.

Turn Your Pain into a Purpose:

We all go through struggles in life , overcoming these struggles shapes who we are, our personalities, choices, and perspectives. our uniqueness in persevering life hardships, can be expressed through different mediums such as arts : music, paintings, creative writing…etc, or by choosing to teach others the wisdom we harvested by overcoming our own issues. Others will choose Social Activism to serve humanity and defend the less fortunate.

How you choose to transform your pain into a purpose is unique to you, and to your soul signature!

spend time with people who inspire you:

“You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.”

If you spend time with people who are positive and purpose-driven, they are likely to inspire you to have the same mindset. You may even discover your purpose through them.

Look beyond your colleagues and family members and ask yourself who you choose to spend your time with. Evaluate those relationships and make sure you are surrounding yourself with aspirational, positive people who lift you up.

Spend sometime Reading:

Reading is a great way to expand your mental horizons, it is also beneficial in improving your empathy, your creative and critical thinking, because you put yourself in the characters shoes, and you imagine yourself, and your choices if put in similar circumstances.

Reading also connects you to other people across time, place, and cultures. This helps you cultivate the sense of connectedness that generates a sense of purpose in life.

Practice self-acceptance:

Self Acceptance helps you in accepting all of you, the perfect and the imperfect. it teaches you to be kinder and more compassionate towards yourself. This acceptance helps you overcome the rigidity of the dual thinking of right and wrong, you reach an understanding that mistakes are not failures, they are life experiences through which we harvest wisdom that benefits us in our path of growth and evolution.

Self-Acceptance then becomes a catalyst in overcoming the fear of making mistakes, the fear of failure, the fear of the unknown, leading us to more freedom in trying new things, forging new paths, exploring non travelled journeys, taking risks, which can lead us to the meaning of our existence at this time and dimension.

Join a cause:

We all have a cause that we feel passionately about. Perhaps you have strong feelings about social justice, animal welfare, or the environment. 

Fighting for a cause ties together several ways to find your soul purpose including:

  • Giving back
  • Doing something you’re passionate about
  • Surrounding yourself with people who inspire you

Maybe you want to raise money for research into a particular disease or give inner-city children access to green spaces. Whatever it is, getting involved with a cause will help you find more purpose in your life. 

It is worth the try!

Behind every successful person is clarity of purpose. And unless you find yours, you’ll continue to cruise through life on autopilot. You may find yourself knocked off-course and lost, uncertain how to move forward or which direction is forward. Or, life may be smooth but one day you may look back and wish you had used your time differently.

Identifying, acknowledging, and honouring your purpose is the foundation of a well-rounded life. It requires some courage because it opens up questions and ideas that might not be comfortable. Yet it’s worth it. Purpose provides you with an inner compass that guides every decision and leads you to the experiences that will light up your soul. 

Finding your purpose and connecting your purpose to meaningful work can be hard. Supportive guidance can help. join our 4 weeks program “Unveil your life purpose, and live your best life”! and journey through the process with ease, and clarity.

The Peter Pan Syndrome

A look into the different mind stages

We All know the story of “Peter Pan” as depicted in one of the most popular Disney movies, Peter Pan’s character is a metaphor that refers to the concept of not willing to grow up, in another word, “a child consciousness trapped in an adult body”

Although the concept is not clinically recognised as a mental illness, it is a pop-psychology term that has been used informally by both laypeople and some psychology professionals since the 1983 publication of :” The Peter Pan Syndrome: Men Who Have Never Grown Up”, book by Dr. Dan Kiley.

How to define if someone suffers from Peter Pan Syndrome?

“All children, except one, grow up,” J. M. Barrie wrote in his 1911 novel “Peter and Wendy.” He was speaking of Peter Pan, the original boy who wouldn’t grow up.

The Peter-Pan psychological type is characterised by immaturity or certain sorts of psychological, social, and sexual problems. The type of personality in question is immature, his characteristics include attributes such as irresponsibility, rebelliousness, pottering about, anger, narcissism, dependency, manipulativeness, and the belief that he is beyond society’s laws and norms.

Most likely people with Peter pan syndrome were raised in a co-dependent dysfunctional family, lacking healthy boundaries.

Permissive and over-protective parenting styles are usually the main cause of this disorder. As the child reaches adulthood, he finds himself unable to cope with responsibilities.

According to Kiley, “Peter Pan” is the adult little boy who, when in a relationship, is looking for mothering.. The “Peter Pan” type partner is emotionally unavailable, he refuses to define or label the relation. He is avoidant to discussing long-term plans and lives for the day.

He also has difficulties with careers goals, a tendency to skip work when challenged or stressed, or to move jobs frequently due to the lack of motivation.

As a character, he is unreliable and flaky, with almost no control over his emotional outbursts, he expects others to take care of him, and shies away from taking decisions or making serious choices, in fact, such individual keeps his options open in relationships and in life. Due to his inability to handle conflicts or hardships, he usually relies on substances to escape his reality.

To summarise, Peter Pan syndrome is the “failing to launch” into adulthood. It is a stagnation of the child’s consciousness due to an emotional trauma, putting a halt on the child’s cognitive process.

A spiritual perspective on the stages of mind

Spirituality looks at individual development through the lens of the ego-soul dynamic: the growth and development of the ego, the alignment of the ego with the soul, and the activation of the soul consciousness. Thus we can define the below levels of consciousness:

  • The Survival consciousness (Root Chakra): the child at this stage is completely dependant on his parents to get his basic needs.
  • The Relationship consciousness (Sacral Chakra): at this stage, the child start relating to his loved ones, he needs to belong, to be loved and protected.
  • The Self-Esteem Consciousness (Solar plexus chakra): this level of consciousness is about feeling secure, feeling accepted and validated by our community, it is marked by social conditioning. 
  • The Transformation Consciousness (Heart Chakra): The fourth level of human consciousness is about finding freedom and autonomy. the need to discover one’s own identity beyond the parental programming and cultural conditioning , questions such as “Who am I?” and “What is important to me?” are the initiation to discover the true (soul) self.
  • Internal Cohesion Consciousness (throat chakra): The fifth level of human consciousness is about finding meaning in your life — finding what your soul came into the world to do. At this level of consciousness, the question is no longer “Who am I?” but “Why am I here in this body?” and “How can I fully express myself?”
  • Making a difference consciousness (Third Eye chakra) : The sixth level of human consciousness is about making a difference in the world — there is an understanding that the ability to fulfil your purpose is strongly conditioned by your ability to connect with others and facilitate the work of those who support you.
  • Service consciousness (Crown chakra): The seventh level is about selfless service to the cause or the work which allows you to use your gifts and talents — the work you were born to do. You reach this level of consciousness when making a difference becomes a way of life — when you surrender to your soul.

The first three stages of development involve establishing the ego as a viable, independent entity in its physical, social and cultural framework of existence. The fourth stage of development involves aligning the motivations of your ego with the motivations of your soul. The last three stages of development involve activating your soul’s consciousness.

The Healing Process

Healing modalities consider three fundamental stages of development of the psyche : 

  • The Child mindset stage , or the Peter Pan syndrome, corresponds to imbalances in the first three chakras, as a result of wounds experienced in childhood, which does not allow a healthy transition to adulthood. A healthy transition to adulthood occurs at the age of 22 for females and 30 for males, if an individual transits to adulthood but still have some unhealed wounds from childhood, he is usually in an over-corrected adulthood, such individuals are workaholics, over-achievers, or wild party animals. Belief and fear work is the way to go here, tackling wounds like safety, security, self-worth, self-esteem, anger, shame, guilt, self reliance allow these individuals to make it to the next stage.
  • The adult mind stage is linked to the heart and throat chakras, individuals at this stage are mature, independent, they discovered the voice of their soul, and they are crafting their self-concept, however, there is a tendency of unhealthy boundaries, and emotional imbalances, which cause them an energy drainage. working on self-love, unconditional love, balance ,releasing attachments and implementing healthy boundaries, facilitate their transition to the next stage.
  • The natural transition to the sage mindset, the last level of development, starts at the age of 40 in both genders. Sage individuals have an expansive consciousness, they are kind, loving and nurturing to others, while maintaining healthy boundaries. They are philanthropists, devoted to serve humanity, they feel a good sense of union with people and with the creator.

Generally! a good way to identify your mind stage, is to reflect on your triggers. additionally Knowing the mind stage of who is triggering you, will will provide an understanding of their wounds , making it easy to forgive and move on without holding grudges or resentment against them.
