Purpose

Some definitions of purpose:

An anticipated outcome that is intended or that guides your planned actions

The reason for which something exists

To set as an aim, intention, or goal for oneself

To intend; design

These definitions, for me, create two thoughts. The first, is a little more subtle and suggests that there is a reason for our existence, and in that reason, lies our purpose. As a numerologist, I work within the constraints of destiny – that there is a guiding purpose that you have been born to fulfill, in this lifetime. When we look at your entire chart, which I call the blue-print for your potential, we have a framework, a roadmap, which provides a compass and direction for you on your journey. Being armed with this knowledge, you then create your own intentions and goals for how you will go about fulfilling your purpose.

Finding purpose, and living it, does not guarantee a life of free of pain and worry. Let’s get real about what it is to be human. You may have got the impression that somehow, you need only to be ‘good’ and that you need ‘fixing’. You don’t.

Good intentions, good thoughts, good deeds, only showing good, only doing good, only being good, only having good is only one part of the whole. You cannot have good, without evil. You cannot have light, without dark, you cannot know peace, unless you have known fear. You cannot experience joy, unless you have known pain. At the highest level of our being, we are source energy, that just IS – it is neither good, nor bad.

This universal energy is pure, it can can be described as Love. Energy cannot die, it can only be transformed. You are energy, you cannot die, you can only be transformed. You have a body, you are not your body. Some may refer to this source energy as God, Universal Energy, Divine Spirit amongst other names. Y

Whilst we are Divine Spirit, we are also experiencing the physical reality of what it is to be human. We have to deal with the reality of this illusion, and part of that, is accepting within our humanness, there exists the dual potential for both light and dark. Part of finding out who we are, is discovering the wholeness and duality of who we are.

So, finding purpose is about finding what is driving you from a greater universal perspective, and part of that means accepting that some things are out of your control. There are universal laws in which you need to work, and accept, if you are going to fully manifest the purpose in which you have intended.

Quite often, we can be drawn to defining the outward ways on which are purpose is to manifest, which actually is not our business. For example, what about the woman, who is unable to physically carry her own children, but who feels compelled to be a mother of her own? What about the parents, who have lost their child, who felt it was certainly not their purpose in life, to experience this loss. To know purpose, is to know how insignificant we are, yet how significant we are, to know how nothing is in our control, yet so much is in our control.

So moving on, and looking a bit closer to home, let us look at purpose from the perspective that we have the ability to design our lives, as we would dream of. Within the hands of fate, we create purpose through our intent, our desires. We ask ourselves, what purpose do I have? What need within me is driving me in this direction? What are my intentions? What are my goals that I would like to achieve? How can I serve? What would I choose to be, do, or have if there were no constraints?

Our purpose is found in doing what it is we love to do. You were given a combination of talents and qualities for a reason, and that reason was to express them, and to experience the joy of creating.

To know purpose, is to ‘let go and let god’. This doesn’t mean that we become lazy or disillusioned about life because it’s not in our hands. It means that we have a wonderful ability to use our intent to create, and allow the universe to bring it to us. This can be quite scary, especially when we don’t know how the future will unfold to you. I love the work I am doing.  I love to create, to write, to help people discover their soul potential, to coach them through change – yet I don’t know or plan, how my work will evolve – it manifests. I trust that through doing what I am meant to be doing, meaning that I am expressing myself and contributing to others in a way that brings my great joy; that the universe will take care of the how. When I get stuck, it’s because I am dictating and controlling how I want something to manifest.

From a numerology perspective, each number within your chart is an archetype, meaning an expression of yourself that can be found in everyone, and by their nature, they have both positive and negative aspects. Finding purpose is about understanding yourself to the extent that you know and understand the main archetypes that are playing themselves out through you, and reconciling and transforming those aspects that are causing you difficulty, and holding you back from expressing the entirety of who you are.

How can you find your Purpose?

The question about finding your particular purpose; is about finding out what makes you unique from other people.

Finding your Life Purpose is about connecting with three things:

Your self – who am I, walking this path? What are my strengths, my challenges, my motivation and inner-most heart’s desire?
When we connect with our self, we see ourselves for all that we are. We accept and love ourselves; both our light, and our dark side. We learn about what brings us pleasure, what we would choose to do, rather than should do, we give ourselves permission to express ourselves in a way that serves our needs, and in doing so, serves others.
Connecting with self, is also about reconciling those sides of our self that do not serve us in a way that is for our highest good. As a child, and moving into adulthood, we created parts of ourselves to help us deal with the challenges of life. All too often, these sides of ourselves create us trouble, by not responding in a way that is always helpful.  By lovingly accepting all parts of who we are, and transforming those sides of us that have not been given the opportunity to mature, we can move forward, having liberated those parts of ourselves that hold us back.

Your journey – what path am I walking in this lifetime? What is my goal? Where am I going, where have I been?
When we connect with our path, we feel in control of our journey. We start to plan for what’s ahead and equip ourselves accordingly. We are also able to enjoy the path, drawing our gaze away from the horizon, and not looking behind us to the road that has been travelled. We stop still, and take in all that is around us.

Your experience – what talents can I bring to this experience we call ‘life’? What lessons will I learn that will enable me to grow?

We do not travel, for travelling sake. We travel because we want to be enriched by the experience. We travel because we want to find ways of connecting with our inner most being, to experience joy, happiness, and excitement of bringing our talents out into the open. How many times have you had a holiday where you gave yourself permission to express yourself in a way you wouldn’t ordinarily? This may have included singing around a camp fire, dancing, relaxing and absorbing the sounds, doing something adventurous. Notice how people’s true natures shine, when they give themselves permission to ‘take a break’.

How many trips have you been on, when you have been challenged in some way, and have responded by saying ‘well next time….’. Life is a journey, in which we travel, and learn along the way. The question is, how much do want to enjoy the trip?
