Living Life On Purpose
Hello Everyone!
This is Jess here, and I just wanted to take a moment to share with you one of the most powerful experiences I have had, the moment when I put words to my feelings that I had a purpose, the moment I could define what living life on purpose meant to me, so that I may hopefully inspire others to live life on purpose as well. Here is the first video I ever took of myself, and the story for it is below it.
I have always had this deep seated feeling that I was meant to do something big, to help a lot of people, but I have been struggling my whole life to figure out what it is. Last year I decided to follow my instincts instead of living life by everyone else’s rules and I quite my corporate job. I joined a nonprofit sustainability organization as a full time volunteer and felt like I found ‘home’ for the first time. Through that organization, I met Jin, who was a member of both that nonprofit and EN.
Jin told me I just had to check out the company he was a part of and go to one of their events. I felt in my gut that I should listen, and since my instincts have never led me astray, I did. Honestly, I was not expecting much. When we got there, I thought that it looked the same as every other event I had been to in my corporate life- there was a stage with flashy lights, a cheesy theme, and a people walking around in matching t-shirts to distinguish which ‘team’ they were a part of.
Then to my surprise, as David Wood starting speaking at the end of the first night, I started to feel that there was something different going on. Instead of throwing out a bunch of corporate jargon and Hoo Ra Ra, he started speaking my language- he started to speak about something deeper, about living life on purpose, not just in business, but within oneself and their connection to the world.
Others Living Life On Purpose
Something completely strange and unexpected happened on the third day. The speakers were all talking about REAL content! They were telling their stories and also providing self development that would have cost a fortune to get through any other event! These were people that were making tones of money and they were all telling us exactly how they did it- which was to start with self development. They were speaking about how to grow from the inside by reading, meditating, feeding your mind, becoming conscious, and taking care of thoughts first, to best control life- to live life on purpose.
What Living Life On Purpose Means to Me
Then, during a group meditation led by David Wood, I was finally able to find the words to the feelings deep within me that have always made me feel like I was supposed to so something to make a difference. The moment I placed words on the feelings, I began to cry! I was so inspired that I ran to the hallway while the event was still going so that I could film what I was feeling-my new understanding for how I can live my life on purpose.
Since this was the first video I ever took of myself, and I was definitely nervous, but knew I had to do it. I finally found my own unique way to live life on purpose, and I hope that I can inspire others to live life on purpose as well. My mission is to wake people up, to awaken people to live consciously and fully with regards to the whole planet and everyone on it, in other words to live life on purpose! I believe when everyone is awake and makes every decision consciously, then my life purpose, to ensure that the basic human needs of everyone one the planet are met, will be fulfilled.
I joined Prosperity Team a week and a half before the event. This is the first video I shot of myself. This is also my first blog post. Please let me know what you think, and of course please share if you liked it and/or think it may inspire others to live life on purpose!
