Discover how life's challenges offer us an opportunity to unveil our life's purpose.

Many of us begin our days and end our nights without giving much thought to envisioning
or contemplating what our life’s purpose is. For some of us, life’s purpose is composed of the many tasks, daily challenges and minor pleasures we experience. Life simply has a beginning and an end; a conscious purpose is not part of life’s picture.

Can life merely represent the unfolding of what manifests in our physical daily lives? In order to find meaning to this question, we must place emphasis on another realm of existence other than the physical aspect of life. In order to discover the true meaning of life’s purpose, we must address the spiritual aspect of living.

When we can consciously remove ourselves from the reflection of physical living: struggles, confusion, anger, suffering, discontentment and the host of other aspects of “realistic” physical living- and begin to search for a spiritual aspect of existence, the answer to the purpose of life become crystal clear. Understanding and acknowledging that life is representative of a sacred blueprint for spiritual maturity and wisdom will dramatically change one’s entire perspective about life’s purpose.

Instead of viewing ourselves as victims of a viscous world--filled with antagonizing beings,
we begin to discern the hidden meaning behind what we “think we see.” We begin to comprehend that the world is not as vicious as we portray it to be--as long as we can envision a
perfect world by viewing it with our spiritual vision. We can also learn how to accept with humbleness and compassion that antagonizing individuals may very well be offering us an opportunity to practice characteristics that we lack in our physical nature: patience, understanding, objectivity, tolerance, love, and forgiveness.

A practical spiritual motto would be to remember: “that every circumstance in life occurs for a reason.” Along with this motto, spiritual beings should also remember that “every being” in our lives is here to remind us of something very valuable—perhaps, to be patient, to practice more compassion, to be less critical or to simply express more love.

When we incorporate these fundamental spiritual values into our lives, we allow every aspect of “life” to complete our spiritual purpose. We welcome the challenges that others offer us in the form of negativity because we know that there are hidden messages for us to look at our own action. We accept the proposal of adversity in our lives knowing that by experiencing turmoil in our physical lives, we are being offered an opportunity to expand our spiritual understanding and maturity.

Just as the trees survive the stormy weather, only to cascade in splendorous fullness, just as the flowers wither and partake in a transitory sleep, only to flourish with beauty, so will the fulfillment of spiritual purpose be revealed once we embrace the experiences our physical lives offer us.
