Soul Coaching

When I first began to write about this I did not like this idea of a "purpose in life." I feel that the purpose in everyone's lives is to live our life and change other people's along the way by doing so. Trying to figure out your purpose in life seemed contradictory to today's affirmation, "Who I am is enough." The more I thought about it though, the more I realized that that is not true. It isn't like a purpose in life has to be a do all, end all. It isn't always a "I need to do this and then my life is complete" deal. That is why I am going to say this.

The purpose of my life is to live and learn.

There are still many things I want to do with my life. It isn't like I have no goals. I want to go to college, travel the world, own a restaurant, own a farm, own a home. None of those could be called a purpose in life though. Not for me at least.

Denise said that today we should try to listen for messages from the universe. I believe this is a very valuable lesson. We should always be listening. Especially if we ask the questions. That is why I was amazed when I found this poem. It seemed too coincidental. (I don't believe in coincidences anyway.)

Goddess, Are You Real?

Author Unknown

The little child whispered,

"Goddess, speak to me"

And a meadowlark sang.

But the child did not hear.

So the child yelled,

"Goddess, speak to me!"

And the thunder rolled across the sky

But the child did not listen.

The child looked around and said,

"God, let me see you."

And a star shone brightly

But the child did not notice.

And the child shouted,

"Goddess, show me a miracle!"

And a life was born

But the child did not know.

So the child cried out in despair,

"Touch me God, and let me know you are there!"

Whereupon the God reached down

And touched the child.

But the child brushed the butterfly away

And walked away unknowingly.
