shatteredsoul agrees: Nothing is random, we choose our reality as we choose how to live in it.
That is your point of veiw. I personally think everything in life is random. Many people can't choose their "own reality" they get stuck living in something that has no meaning or point. Like I said you wake up, go to work, come home, go to bed just to do it the next day. Boring if u ask me.
That's 'cause your life revolves uniquely around yourself. Other than your job you probably have no other responsibilities and people that you socialize with.Quote:

Because when I left school they left too because they weren't real friends. You make it sound like I'm selfish.. how? I think more of my finace then myself. I'm offened to even be called selfish. You don't know me.. and the horride life I had or have still in some ways.Quote:

You said your life is boring - hey life is what you make it.

I have my senses intact as yet,I am healthier than most I know,and the best part is that I believe in a life after death and I hope I am working towards a wonderful life in the Hereafter... :)
Hey Rayne, I don't think you are a bad person and I don't think you are boring. I think you are stuck in a rut and frustrated with your situation. You seem lonely and isolated from friends and that is a difficult thing to endure. Part of what I meant by choosing your reality means, whatever you want to see is true is and however you see yourself and your life, become your reality. I think things will get better, and I am sorry you are struggling and working so hard. It is so difficult being young and married. Maybe find small ways to enjoy your life for now, or to work toward something you would like to do. Anyway, you have friends here and they can support you and help you get through the difficult times until things begin to get better. I sure hope they do.
Yes, Rayne, you sure have friends here to help you along your way... I have a few suggestions if you want to hear them, we can start another thread for it though cause it doesn't belong here... Just PM me if you want to talk. Hugs, Start
Purpose in life... I used to wonder why I went through all I did growing up and how I came to some of the jobs I had. While they were good jobs and I learned quite a bit, it did not seem to me to fit my long term goal, which was to be a psychotherapist. I did not get my PhD that was SO important to me. Instead my path lead to working in hospitals and also with children and adults with developmental disabilities and well as people with emotional disorders. Got married, had children, worked, home, etc.
Then I met the little boy who was to become my youngest son and he was in such need of a family who accepted him just as he was and all that he was. The light did not go on at the first meeting but the second weekend he was with us the bulb switched on and I realized why I had been where I had been in life. It was a preparation for Brandon. He would need everything I had learned and then some. I do not get it "right" all the time, by no means am I the perfect Mom, but with the grace of God, I do my best. I know someday Brandon will be more independent of me, either in a group home or in his own apartment with 24 hr staff. May I have my best.
Everyone has a purpose in life. When you find and are fulfilling yours you feel complete and life runs smoothly.
The Key is to find your path in life
Create a personal mission statement. Having this gives you a template of purpose which can be used evoke clarity about the path you choose to follow. Use the information you have come up with in the previous steps of this process. Find ways to orchestrate your life in a manner which supports your mission.
Reach out to others who may be able to help you in creating your dream. This includes family, friends, or someone who has a job you aspire to. When in doubt, think about how you could do something instead of why you can't so you begin to see the limitless possibilities the universe can provide to help your life run smoothly. Have faith when you ask for assistance in understanding and realizing you dreams, miraculous events can occur.
Whatever you choose to do-DO YOUR BEST AND BE WILLING TO WORK YOUR WAY UP!;)
My purpose is to be a Bible teacher and to take the Word of God to whoever will hear it. My story is a long one in which Jesus Christ had been wooing me for years and after 49 years and having not accepted Him, He took action and came to me personally. He commanded me to study the Bible for 5 years and then He opened the door for me to lead our Bible class. Since then I have taught the Bible in two countries. I am currently teaching the Bible on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 6 P.M.
How I came to understand my purpose, is an ongoing process for me. It began with becoming a mother for the first time and with all of the love it brought out of me. I felt so incredibly overwhelmed with joy when I held my daughter. I felt God's love for me and a new love for myself. I realized I wanted to be a good person and to show her how to love one another. This way she can use her gifts wisely and create a world that is more compassionate and kind. I have had many struggles and heartaches along the way. I wear my heart on my sleeve and it has been dragged through the mud several times. I learned that people are sometimes going to be hurtful and disappoint me, but that doesn't mean that they are bad and I don't have to take it personally. I learned through loss that being attached to things isn't helpful and letting go is easier on the soul. I experienced much grief and sorrow during the deaths of loved ones and I learned I have to let go of anger and forgive those who don't understand the pain and anguish they cause. The experiences in particular don't matter, but how I grow and evolve from them do. I am continuously trying to understand myself and become more aware of how I should live out my purpose. Hopefully, I will make my children proud and leave them a legacy of love.
No clue.
All that I can say for sure is to quote something I read once about what the purpose of life is... "The purpose of life is a life of purpose".
That's a nice way of putting it..Quote:
