On assignment – an interesting way to look at your life’s path – how you walk it, and what you are looking for.  Many people live life unconsciously, just doing their day to day functions and duties in a robotic way.  There are those, however, that long to live a life of meaning and fulfillment.  They refuse to find satisfaction in a life with no magic or challenge in it.  These are the one’s that hear the call or song of the soul.  If this means you – then read on.

Let us look at our lives as an extremely important assignment that must be completed within a certain amount of time. The people, places, and circumstances are crucial to the success of this task.  What if your assignment is – to discover your mission in life?  Almost all of us feel we were born to do something special, that our life has a purpose –  this is actually the truth.  We are here to do something that only we can accomplish – it cannot be given to us – we must do this important task ourselves.  However, if you are observant, you will find hints and clues along the way, and all the help you need to accomplish your mission.

And herein lays the challenge, the excitement of this assignment.  It is to discover what mission we chose, or are meant to accomplish.  It is not always an earth shattering type of task that requires us to change the world, though this surely does apply in a manner of speaking because we can change our world around us.  It is much more personal than this. You do realize that even though we share the earth with many, we each inhabit the universe of our own creation.

Do you have a deep longing to do – or be – something completely different than what you are doing at this time in your life?  For example, perhaps you are involved in clerical work and your inner self cries out to express itself in creative ways.  You find your daily work stultifying and you often call in sick.  What you are is actually sick of working in a job that is alien to your nature.  How do you fix this unhappy situation?  This is part of your mission, because we are meant to enjoy ourselves in this lifetime and not keep our nose to the grindstone.  What an awful expression – can’t you just see your poor little nose wearing away to a bleeding little nub?

Beginning with this moment, look at your life as a long string of pearls.  Examine the events you have experienced along the way.  Remember the things you loved as a child, remember your dreams and hopes, your desires and wishes.  Why?  Because they are all relevant to understanding the real you – the person who is as unique as a snowflake.  Everything you have lived through had a purpose in your life – you just need to understand it.  Each event contained a pearl of wisdom within it – even those dealings we would prefer to forget.

Begin this day with a better and clearer outlook on yourself.  Delve into and explore your being with all your heart and soul.  Know that along the way you will discover the mission you are meant to accomplish, and the purpose for which you were born.  Best of all, you will become who you really are – a shining star in the small universe around you.
