I have a purpose.
If you need a loaf of bread, you go to the store buy it.
Is your purpose to buy bread or is it to feel secure knowing you have bread so you can make a sandwich?
Or is it feeling, knowing that one element of your survival is OK, that you have enough food to eat?
There are different levels of purpose.
You are born for a purpose, a thrust. No one gave it to you. You chose it before you were born.
The funny thing about spiritual truths is that just about everything can be said to be true or false. It all depends on how you look at it.
So what is your perspective? Where do you look at life from? Is it from your programming? What you were taught in your first seven years. What you have been told what is true?
Usually it comes down to a choice between your inner or your outer authority.Outer authority is anything someone has told you is true. Could be a religion, a science or a society.
The other way is inner – from you own wisdom, based on your experiences.
