Perceived Purpose

"I think of life itself now as a wonderful play that I've written for myself, and so my purpose is to have the utmost fun playing my part." ~Shirley MacLaine


Do you struggle with who you are or maybe the struggle is more about your "purpose" on this planet. Well.... stop it! Enjoy who you are and make the most of it. Have fun with what you were given. Enrich your life by observing, learning and doing.

Fear is a powerful emotion. If you allow fear to win within you, you will choose to miss out on a large amount of beauty and opportunity in life. You could have a fear of flying, for example. Think of all the places in the world you will miss out on experiencing - places you could only get to by airplane - just because of a silly feeling of fear.

If you submit to fear, you probably don't think it is a silly feeling. But if you can allow yourself to recognize fear as a silly feeling you will be amazed at what can become of yourself. The things you will do without fear. The people you'll touch without fear. The places you could go . . .

Think about it. If "fear" is the only thing stopping you from enjoying life - is that really a valid reason?
