great question butterfriends. i thought i knew the answer to this, but as i sit here right now, the words just aren't coming.

awhile back, i told myself that the purpose to life was to spread kindness and love; to have a positive influence on the people around you the short time we're here.

however, the purpose of my life is a little more difficult to describe. i do know this - i am fulfilling one of my purposes - teaching (mathematics specifically). while that certainly does not define me, the change in careers has brought me much more satisfaction than when i was a corporate robot, and now i am making a tangible difference in people's lives.

another purpose is what i am doing at the present moment, learning together with all of you! - so that we may serve in times of need; acting as a beacon of light for those willing to see; charging into the future, leading by example, and creating peace and harmony prior to "the shift"...

in a way, i'd like to think that my purpose will ultimately be defined and redefined through these next years. all i can truly focus on is the day at hand though... continuing to "whittle down" the inner work; being a conduit for energy to flow through me; observing and participating in the world around me in a positive way.

it seems the more i try to be definitive, the harder the description becomes...

another forum member, kris, posted in a different thread service comes from the heart, not the mind a seemingly simple statement, but when put into practice, you'll find that you can't really define service or plan for it, per se; its just who you are...naturally. :d
