You are the only you in this whole world. You are unique. No one else is like you and no one else can be who you are or do exactly what you can do for this world. You have come into this world for a purpose that only you can accomplish. That’s how very special you are.
Perhaps you have come to this world to be a parent of a child or to parent a million children. Perhaps you have come to this world to heal yourself and another being or a million beings. Perhaps you have come into this world to discover a new technology or to discover a new use for technology; perhaps you have come to bring delicious food to others; or to grow beautiful flowers; to paint or to photograph beauty; to write a poem; to build a structure; or to add laughter or thought to the world. Perhaps you have come to this world to write a book that helps another, to speak words that help another, or to help heal the body of another. Whatever has brought you to this world, your life in this moment in time is perfect just as it is, and so are you, even if it doesn’t feel so in this moment.
So many of us spend our lives looking for that purpose—that mission that brought us to this world—that we miss what is right in front of us—our life. Your mission becomes clear as you live your life; it becomes clear in the passion that comes as you breathe in the breath of your every moment. Your mission in this life is in the everyday movement and moments of your life. What is your greatest desire? Is it to love yourself? To help others? To express yourself? To heal others? To teach? To work with animals? To have great sums of money? To have fun? What gives you pleasure and evokes emotion within you?
This is a new day of your journey to create your own happiness. This day practice living each moment. It is the day you open yourself to the greater awareness of your life and the truth of who you are.
As you go through the day, stop yourself at different intervals (at least once a day and reach for three times each day) and ask these questions: What am I experiencing this moment? How does this feel? What is behind this emotion? Is this how I want to feel? What would I change about this moment? What is beautiful about the moment?
This idea is to get you in touch with yourself and to help you experience the small moments of your life. After a while, you will begin to see patterns, and as you see the patterns in your life, three things will happen: (1) You will become aware of how very precious you are and how very precious your life is; (2) You will begin to understand why you are here in this Earth plane; and (3) As you begin to see how your life is unfolding and how vital you are to the life you are living, happiness happens, and you are able to make those changes that increase happiness in your life.
