Why You Were Born Is Not Waiting For You To Become

Have you ever had a moment where you wonder, “Why was I born?” or “Why am I here?” I had a moment like that last night and I grappled with the concept and thought maybe where I am in my life, doing what I’m doing, being who I’m being isn’t where I’m supposed to be or maybe I’m somehow off track. But, if life is a journey and if every step we take leads us to the grander picture of discovering more of who we are, how could that even be possible? It can’t. So I woke up today and went about my day with one intention and one intention only: to live life on purpose. Not knowing my purpose any more than I did yesterday, I woke up and decided that I would choose to live every moment of today with a security and trust in my own inner knowing, a sense that no matter where it is I’m supposed to be, do, or go, as long as I’m living each moment open to experience and ready to serve in any and all ways possible, I’m living out my own destiny, fulfilling my purpose in every moment by being who I am to whoever I can be in that very second. Needless to say, it’s been a phenomenal day and the one lesson I’ve garnered from last night’s emotional struggle and today’s exuberant joy is this:

Why you were born is not waiting for you to become. It’s you, right here, right now, in this very moment. You being you in every moment and you allowing you to share that experience with others, to witness their lives and have them witness your’s, that’s why you were born. It’s not a scheme, it’s a vision and visions are developed one thought at a time, one moment at a time. Why you were born is not waiting for you to become and you shouldn’t be waiting either. Just be…
