Revelation

Okay, so yesterday was a pretty dark day. I consider myself a pretty spiritual person, so doubting my existence stresses me out. I believe in God, so I know that having these crazy thoughts and doubts would personally offend him. He has blessed me with phenomenal friends, family, and life experiences. Yesterday, all I could focus on was the bad. I need to constantly remind myself that there will be tough days, but I should ALWAYS thank and love my God. I hate pitying myself. I did that one too many times in the past and it lost me friendships and part of my life.

So, here I am today, picking myself up off the ground so to speak. Back on the internet searching for jobs, and reading words of wisdom. Today, I stumbled across an interesting read written by Brooke Allen. In the article, he described how to get a job and find your purpose in life.  

According to his article, I seem to be going through an “existential crisis.” After some research, I realized that this is an actual term that people use to describe a period of their lives where we struggle to find our life purpose. This is an actual thing. I am not alone in this. One of things that still remains to be fuzzy, Allen recommends that in order to find one’s life purpose, one must find it in the work they do.

Okay, so not exactly leading me into a field of work… But it is good advice. The constant feeling of being needed is what propels us as humans to be content with our lives. That makes a lot of sense. I am completely confident that whatever work I find for myself I will end up being content. Job searching is a difficult and long process, but the reward seems to payoff in the end. 

Allen also mentioned another good point, in order to think creatively and intellectually, one must practice writing. For me, writing has always been a love/hate relationship. Writing is something that has been a struggle for me to do consistently. Obviously, look at my blog posts. I only have seven (including this one).

How will I find my life purpose? Stay tuned.
