Finding your purpose

Waking up each morning, well let's be honest - it's not pretty! My hair is everywhere, my eyes often still waking up, and my mind anything but raring to go! To imagine having a plan or a purpose for my day at that point ..... yes, you get my point!!

Here's the thing, though. No matter what we're feeling, no matter our self-belief, the reality is that we all DO have a purpose here on earth. Yes, each and every one of us is so unique and there is a reason we're here. It's not always easy to figure out, but sometimes it can be the little things - making a difference in a friend's day, our job choice, being a pet owner, or our role as a parent. We don't always notice the impact we have on people's lives but I guarantee that each and everyone of us DOES make a difference simply by being here in this world.

So today I DARE you to think about your purpose. What makes you the amazing, special, incredible unique person that you are? I know, right about now that negative voice is probably kicking in and basically just laughing at me. But ignore it!! Get your pen and paper and make a list of ways you've brought smiles to people's lives recently and if you need to, ask for help in doing this. I guarantee you'll have made more of an impact than you realize.

Our purpose in life .... well, it doesn't have to be some deeply spiritual thing; start small. What are the little things that happen only because of you? That's part of your purpose and contribution to this world and would be sorely missed if you weren't around. I, for one, am grateful you are here and I know there are many others that feel the same. Find that dandelion, blow and make a wish, and remind yourself that yes, you matter and have a purpose and it's time to chase it and make it reality!
