We each have a calling. We neglect it because we think in order to do so means we can't attend to daily life, or worse, that we must radically alter our lifestyles in order to follow our life's passions. It doesn't need to be so dramatic. Just do one small thing each day to honor your intuitive heart. Following those internal messages will develop your intuitive hunches. We do not have to make life a struggle. We always, always have a choice in how we decide to frame our situations.
So how do we honor our life purpose? What sorts of activities begin to let our souls inspire us? Think fun, fun, fun. Play with children. With pets. Write poems. Cook a wacky dinner. Plant a wild garden. Buy an outfit that reflects your personality and stop worrying about whether it's in season. Follow your own impulses. Set your own trends. Whenever you think to give advice, reflect that advice towards yourself and see what it means for you. Watch and read comedies. Laugh as often as possible. Don't just be yourself...be your childlike self. Start a blog. Dress up, even if there's not a "real" occasion to. Be a total nerd. Love your friends. Make new friends. Giggle. Smile. Always ask yourself, what if I had no worries, what would I do?
Life Purpose will then evolve and be revealed to you with each nurturing step you take. It's not an overnight process but a momentum of series of revelations that in time may begin to form a picture.
The litmus test? If you find yourself living in the moment in dizzying happiness, you're following your passion and purpose. If you're fighting for rewards and recognition, struggling to survive, doing things because they're expected of you or society, family or friends tell you, "you should," spend some time alone and think about what small things you can do today to be blissfully happy.
