Your Life Purpose Is The Path Of Least Resistance

“Each man has his vocation; his talent is his call.
There is one direction in which all space is open to him.”
–RALPH WALDO EMERSON

“Why are we here?” is probably one of the biggest mysteries of life and probably one of the most asked questions by anyone with a spiritual awareness. We must be here for a reason since everything in this universe serves a purpose? It’s quite easy to see the purpose of everything in creation from a human perspective looking ‘down’ on everything around us, BUT looking in the mirror to find our purpose as human beings seems to be much harder.

There are many potential answers for why humanity exists and each of these answers which will be equally valid, but on a more personal level your life purpose is something very unique and very special to you and you alone. Deep down inside we all crave to live a full life – a life that feels fulfilled and happy. For most people the idea of living a successful and fulfilled life conjures up images of hard work, sacrifice and overcoming the odds. Although there certainly is merit in all that, on a deeper and more spiritual level, living your life on purpose is all it really takes to be fulfilled.

Living your life on purpose is to follow the path of least resistance. Living your life on purpose is not meant to be a constant struggle. It’s the ‘easy way’ for the easy way is that life path which you are destined for. The easy way does not imply laziness or that you do nothing to fulfill your destiny (although it this might be true for you). The easy way is the way that comes natural to you. Sometimes this road of least resistance is easy and sometimes it’s hard, but it is the path where the entire universe conspires to help and assist you.

In the opening quote, Emerson gives us a great insight about following the path of least resistance: he says that when you live your life on purpose it is that ‘direction’ in life where everything opens up for you. You may have spent a lifetime knocking on locked doors, yet there is one door which will open up the entire world for you. Running your life upstream will only wear you out and create turmoil in your life. 

Each and every one of us have our own unique calling. Emerson refers to the fact that each and every one of us have our vocation and a special talent that will open these doors for us. The challenge is that for the majority of people life consists of making a living and following good common sense: get a good job, marry well and take a holiday once a year.

So many people confuse their vocation with ‘a job’ – with their way of making a living financially to support themselves and their family. For some it even begs the question as to what they ought to do with their life. Your purpose is much beyond all that. In it’s original Latin translation, the term vocation means to ‘be called’. What is it that calls you in life? What is it that brings you joy? What is it that really makes you feel alive?

Deep down inside we all know what calls us in life. However faint that little voice deep down inside, until and unless you listen to it you will continue to feel unfulfilled and like you are not really living the life that you are destined to live. You will always feel like something is missing.

Living your life on purpose is not so much in what you do with your life as it is the way that you are while you live your life. It’s not some spiritual goal to reach some day. Living your life on purpose is about fulfilling and realizing your Self in ALL of your life. Your purpose is your guiding light – always directing and steering your life to a sense of inner peace, joy and fulfillment.

Your purpose is always trying to connect with you and it speaks the language of passion and inner joy. Whenever you feel passionate about something, whenever you feel real joy and a deep emotional connection to your self, then that is your purpose trying to connecting with you. Deep within you is that divine spark, your higher self which is always looking to express and experience itself through you.

Start by getting your mind off the things you think you ought to do to be happy and fulfilled and turn your attention inwards instead. Joseph Campbell said it beautifully when he said “Follow your bliss…” – follow your bliss and get your life on purpose. When you do you will find that doors will start to open for you where there aren’t doors for anybody else.

Each and every one of us have our own unique calling. It is the key to unlocking your own personal door to a life of fulfillment. All you have to do is to follow your bliss and allow your purpose to find you. Stay connected to all those things that bring YOU joy and listen only to your own heart – despite all the millions of opinions and demands that we all get bombarded with.

As you get more in touch with your own spirituality you will start to discover a deeper and more meaningful side to yourself. Getting to really know and expand yourself will help you to stay connected and to live a life on purpose. In the end it is not about demanding any particular path in life, but instead taking the path of least resistance – the path that is your very own.
