Once we graduate college, , that is when we get full and total responsibility of ourselves. We are now adults, and anything we do, will affect us, and mainly us. It is scary at first being completely on our own, in the sense that we no longer have to run decisions by anyone else. Now there will always be people that will have opinions on our choices, and we can decide how much weight they will have on the choices we make, but for the most part, the decisions we make are all our own. Some of the decisions we make will be great. We will learn things about our self and discover part of our purpose, and some of the decisions we make will fall apart, or turn out to not be a good choice for us. And that's okay. That all part of the freedom and responsibility of being our own decision maker. We call the shots, and over time we learn what ones are good ones, and what ones are bad ones. But all the choices we make are getting closer to finding our purpose here in life. What we were sent here to do. Some people find it early on in life. They take a class in high school that gives them insight into what they want to do or become, or they try something new in college and discover something they really like. But other people it takes them longer. They try a variety of different things and non of them produce a sense of happiness or passion. And so they move onto another thing. Part of finding our purpose, is the process. If it was easy for everyone, then what would the fun in life be? If everyone found their purpose early on in life, then it wouldn't be as interesting. That is something that I think is really neat about us as humans and this life we have been given. It is a journey, and we have to make the most of the ride. Now some people might have one single purpose in life. Like making people laugh by being an entertainer, or encouraging people to think about life by being a philosopher or healing people by being a doctor. But other people might have multiple purposes. Maybe they can fulfill multiple purposes at once, or maybe it requires them to leave one purpose behind for another. But that doesn't devalue the purpose. Because once a purpose is found and then acted upon, the results last forever. You can't undo anything you have already done. All of those people you helped when you were a volunteer for a certain organization, or the things you invented when you worked for that company. Those things stay forever.
It is something that we as people need to stop and think about. Have we already found our purpose? If not, what are we doing to find it? or Is there another purpose out there for us?
