Life is greater if you live with purpose.
When you find a meaningful reason for
doing what you do, you will feel complete.
Just like I used to, many people spend their days working at a job that means
nothing to them and living for their two days of freedom each week. During
those two days, they’ll either do very little or go on a spending spree to make
the most of that freedom – as I did by going to a club every weekend. Every
week they’ll look forward to those two days, wishing their precious time
away because they want their time away from work – their ‘free time’ – to
come quicker. The result is that a whole life can go by in a flash.
Life is often difficult and money does give us much more freedom.
Nevertheless, have faith that you can serve a purpose for humankind and also
meet your financial needs. This purpose doesn’t have to be something huge –
you don’t have to be the next Dalai Lama or even the next Mark Zuckerberg.
However, you must seek to add value, and the only way to do this is by doing
something you enjoy with all of your heart. This is why passion plays such a
big part in living a great life.
Not everyone knows what they’re passionate about. Spiritual medium Darryl
Anka claims to channel a being known as Bashar, who advises that following
your ‘excitement’ is the shortest path to realizing what you want; your next
step should always be the one you find most exciting. You don’t need to
justify it, says Bashar, you just need to do it.

So take action on whatever it is that truly excites you. Make sure you don’t

choose something that you label as exciting because you can’t think of
anything else, or because you think other people will see it as exciting.
The things that you’re naturally drawn
towards aren’t random; they’re picking you
out in the same way that you’re pursuing
them. It really is as simple as this.
So don’t overcomplicate it by thinking that you need to have it all figured
out. And don’t be dishonest with yourself and force action on something you
feel is unfeasible. For example, if you really like drawing, you could start by
creating a website or social media account and sharing some of your work
with the world. Don’t try to sell your drawings for thousands of pounds right
away, particularly if this seems like a long shot to you at this stage. It should
be something you’re willing to do for free, without any expectation, because
it’s something you’re truly passionate about. If it doesn’t excite you, it’s not
right for you.
You don’t immediately need to quit your current commitments and put your
financial obligations at risk. What this does mean, though, is that you need to
stay curious, stay hungry for positive change, and keep taking steps towards
the things that stimulate your mind, body and soul.
Don’t worry about which step to take next, or how things will unfold for you.
Remember, if you show your excitement to the Universe, it will give you
more things to feel excited about. Wondrous opportunities will follow and
help you to discover your path in life, as long as you act on the signs.
Small steps are fine, because they’ll lead to bigger things. Eventually you’ll
work out a way to make your passion your paycheque. This could be an
extension of what you’re already doing or, if you’re in a profession you
dislike, it means you’ll eventually be able to give it up and commit to your
purpose full-time.
You were created with intention. You are here to help, love, assist, save and
entertain. You are here to inspire and put a smile on someone’s face. You are

here to make a difference. You wouldn’t be on this planet, at this time, if you
didn’t have something to offer.
There is a purpose behind your existence, and
when you discover what it is, you will not only
change the dynamics of the world, but also
experience abundance in all areas of your life.
