Dr. Wayne Dyer: Your Purpose Will Find You

Your Purpose Will Find You
by Dr. Wayne Dyer

We become what we think about all day long.  What thoughts do you have that inhibit you from feeling as if you're on purpose in your life? For instance, if you think that you're separate from your pur­pose and that you're drifting without direction through your life, then that's precisely what you'll attract.

Suppose, instead, that you know this is a purposeful universe where your thoughts, emotions, and actions are a part of your free will and are also connected to the power of intention.  Suppose that your thoughts of being purposeless and aimless are really a part of your purpose.  Just as the thought of losing someone you love makes you love them even more, or an illness makes you treasure your health, suppose that it takes the thought of your unimportance to make you realize your value.

When you're awake enough to question your purpose and ask how to connect to it, you're being prodded by the power of inten­tion. The very act of questioning why you're here is an indication that your thoughts are nudging you to reconnect to the field of intention. What's the source of your thoughts about your purpose? Why do you want to feel purposeful? Why is a sense of purpose considered the highest attribute of a fully functioning person?

The source of thought is an infinite reservoir of energy and intelligence.  In a sense, thoughts about your purpose are really your purpose trying to reconnect to you.  That inner beingness knows why you're here, but your ego prods you to chase after money, prestige, popularity, and sensory pleas­ures and miss the purpose of living.  You may feel sated and gain a reputation, but inside there's that gnawing feeling typified by the old Peggy Lee song "Is That All There Is?"

Focusing on the demands of the ego leaves you feeling unfulfilled.  Deep within you, at the level of your being, is what you were intended to become, to accomplish, and to be.  In that inner placeless place, you're con­nected to the power of intention. It will find you.

Make a conscious effort to contact it and listen.  Practice being what you are at the source of your soul.  Go to your soul level, where intention and pur­pose fit together so perfectly that you achieve the epiphany of simply knowing this is it.
