Does your life have a purpose?

This is a snippet from a session with my client. I felt that I must share this because we all have moments when we feel that we are not important, that our life has no meaning, that we are not needed. You must eradicate these thoughts from the moment they show up. Otherwise, you may slip onto a dangerous route of depression.

Use this simple exercise as a daily reminder of just important you are. Use the text as a template for creating your own exercise or follow along with the video at the bottom of this page.

G: What is important right now for you?
T: Business building.
G: Business for what?
T: Some money, but mostly, for satisfaction.
G: The sense of achievement? Yes?
T: Yeah.
G: What the sense of achievement will do for you? How would having a sense of achievement will make you feel?

You have a sense of achievement right now. You feel the sense of achievement now. What does it mean?

T: That means that I do something useful for others.
G: You feel that you have a purpose? Right?
T: Yes.
G: What else does it make you feel?
T: I do something useful for myself. I don’t waste my time. Time is a finite resource. I use it for something good. But if I go even beyond, and then I think, well who cares. I mean, in 100 years from now.
G: You want to leave something behind?
T: I don’t know.
G: You want to leave an imprint in this world?
T: Maybe yes, maybe no. If I think too deeply into this, I’m kind of like “who cares”. I mean if I leave something or not because it’s just this dust particle.
G: Is that how you feel right now?
T: Well, I feel this quite often. It depends. it’s like levels. If I go up, and I say “oh yeah, I want to leave something behind. If I go even higher, I’m like “who cares”.
G: Alright. Keep your eyes closed. Just take a deep breath. Relax a little bit. That speckle of dust is in front of you. You’re looking at it from outside. It’s just a tiny tiny little speckle. It seems like nothing. Just maybe something sparkly, tiny, shiny. But now, really focus on it and get closer and closer and see it grow. See the details, the colors. That tiny speckle becomes larger and more colorful, takes a shape. And as it takes the shape, it takes a meaning too. Start to see all the surroundings, all the people that depend on you, people that need your support, your care, your love, your attention, people whose lives you have touched. Maybe if it was only for a few moments, but you’ve made them feel important. And those tiny moments, when you’ve had this connection, helping people, making them feel important, that spread further, and get passed on through people. And now you have a huge crowd surrounding you. People who you have affected in some positive way, whose life you have touched. Does it feel good now? Step closer step into that image. You’re that beautiful being that has a purpose, has meaning. You are important to everyone that surrounds you. Breathing that energy in. Letting it swirl through the body. It’s not like something new is happening. It was already there. You just needed a reminder, that proof, that understanding of how important you are, how meaningful your existence is. You just needed that little reminder that you are on a mission. Just take a deep breath now. Allow those energies to settle in. You can open your eyes.
