What's Your Life's Purpose?

What is Life's Purpose?

For so long it seemed to me that my eating disorder was my purpose in life. I was totally wrong.  For over half of my life my identification has been linked to my eating disorder. It was the only thing I felt I was good at...which was losing weight. That doesn't seem like what life's purpose is about does it? But who are you really with your eating disorder? You aren't happy, fulfilled, vibrant, silly, goofy, or fun.  You are none of those things because you are so enmeshed in your eating disorder.  My eating disorder was there when others were not, it gave me control and a sense of purpose.  It seemed at the time there was no life beyond my eating disorder, but I have learned there is! God put me on this earth for a reason and I do realize I have some good qualities within me.  I am creative, honest, caring, compassionate, loved, friendly, and unique.  I have many talents such as art and music that give me a purpose.

I BELIEVE WE ALL HAVE A PURPOSE IF WE ARE ON THIS PLANET AND ALIVE!

So, what is your purpose?  Have you thought about what you want to do or even like to do? Try and set some goals...small goals at first and go from there.

I have met some amazing people throughout my life that have encouraged and supported me through my recovery.  I feel that my life purpose is to make a difference in others lives and help make someones day special.  It's doing random acts of kindness at of the goodness of my heart, it's helping tornado victims, it's carrying someone's groceries to their car.  This is my calling...my purpose in life.  To make a difference in other's lives which in the end makes me feel good as well.

“The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience.”
