What is My Purpose?

By

Bill Cottringer

 We all search,

Just in different directions,

In different ways,

Getting different results,

With different efforts.

An answer may come,

From asking good questions:

What do I enjoy doing most?

What am I best at doing?

What do others say?

What needs doing most?

What is hardest for me to do?

Or still others:

Is my purpose to find one?

To serve or help others?

To laugh and have fun?

To lead a good life?

To experience life fully?

To become my best self?

To use my gifts?

To right wrongs?

To raise a family?

To find meaning?

Training for something else?

Getting peace of mind?

Making a difference?

Provoking the truth?

Enjoying beauty?

Understanding  life?

Solving problems?

Beating Adversity?

Finding true love?

Resolving conflicts?

Collecting treasures

Or just one thing—

Making progress

Doing any of these

By not judging?
