Purpose is not a myth
or a silly word to play around with
It is a conscious choice you make
for a life with more meaning
Why do I wake up every morning?
It is about questioning and real deep listening
It can find you
out of the blue
You choose one after a tragedy
to channel your energy
when the only other option is
constant sorrow
When a mom loses a child
and says “never gonna let this happen to any other mom”
Purpose becomes her fight and her light
Sometimes it gets very personal;
You only need to get better
Or go deep to find the real you
Sometimes it is about your grandson
because of your immense love for your own son
Does not need to be so big to make it to headline
Purpose is including and caring
Living a life that matters
knowing you have planted a seed
that may bloom after you
Sometimes changes as you go through life;
knowing there is no good or bad version of it as we do deep dive
When you choose to live with purpose as a way of life
your days fill up with extra energy
that was dormant in you
May be the best kept secret is that it makes life more bearable
when the world around you is too painful
You choose to save a plant, a value, or a broken wing that is dear to you
That makes you feel grounded
Trying your best to use your gifts to make this place better than it found you
Do not worry if none of this is true for you
It is a beautiful journey not something to push through
Your why might be all hidden in your core, still working for you
If you name it one day, that soft voice will whisper “lucky you”
Love this poem! I agree we all have and need a purpose to feel fulfilled. Great poem
Eva thank you so much for your kind words. This is my first poem but in a topic which I spent decades. I see too many people struggle with it so this was another way to express how I feel/think about it. It means a lot that you liked it.
