You May Not Feel Like It Right Now, But You Have A Purpose

There is a reason you are alive, you may not know it at the moment, but you will eventually.

Have you ever gone through life and lost the point? Your purpose slips your mind and you start to think why you are still moving forward when you have no reason as to why. I've been there - I think we all have. That is a normal thing to think and a hard thing to go through. In no way am I saying that you should think like this, in fact, I am telling you why you shouldn't.

Whatever you are going through in life, it will get better. No matter what life throws at you, you have a purpose; you have a reason for being here and being alive. It may take time for you to see your purpose, but you will find it. If I am being completely honest, I am not really sure if I have found my purpose yet. However, I am okay with that because I know I will find it one day.

Everyone has a purpose. That purpose could be small like rising a child and making them what the best they possibly could or decorating someone's house and making them a house that would help them feel at home. Maybe it is a big purpose like saving someone's life or becoming president and changing the world. Everyone has a purpose, you will find it.

Personally, I am leaving purpose to God. I will always believe that He has a plan for me and there is a reason behind everything He puts me through. Through all of it, I will find my purpose and my point. There will always be something to make you think that you have no point. If there is something that makes you feel like you have no point, that is unfortunate. There are two things I do when I feel like that: Turn to a friend and turn to God.

Throughout your life, even if you don't feel like it, always remember that you have a purpose. There was a reason you were put onto this earth and a reason you are here right now. Don't take your life for granted. How I am finding my purpose is through writing. Whether I write it and share it or write it and keep it to myself, it still helps me find a purpose and think of what my point is. Like I said, I am unsure of what my purpose is, but I have an idea. I am starting the believe that my purpose is helping people and I choose to do it through my writing. However, I am not totally sure if that is it, but that's okay.

A person can have more than one purpose; multiple reasons to be alive. Mine could be helping people along with something I haven't figured out yet. You might have a purpose right now but there will be more along the road. Even if one purpose is all you find, that is still so important. Never forget that there is a reason behind your life. You may not think that right now, but there is.

If you don't feel like you have a purpose, talk about it. You won't start to feel better if you keep all your feelings inside. You have people that are there for you, go talk to them. You are not alone. You have people that are here for you. If you don't want to turn to them, turn to a higher belief. Personally, I chose to turn to God in my times of struggle.

I'll never forget the day that someone told me these words: "Madison, I think you're a good friend to everyone but yourself." I stood there completely in awe of that statement. Before that day, I never really thought about being a friend to myself, and at the time, I didn't really know what it meant. Now, I realize that you can't fully be there for other people unless you're there for yourself, too. You can't show up for others until you're willing to show up for yourself.

Here are five things everyone should learn in order to be a better friend to themselves. These steps are hard, but they're so worth it.

It happens to all of us, the weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas the catch up with you.

Thanksgiving Break is most likely everyone’s favorite break during the fall semester. You get to go home and reminisce with all your high school friends. That diet you’ve been on for the past month goes out the window, and you get to eat until you put yourself into a food coma. There’s no rush on homework and you can just lie in bed and Netflix to your heart’s content. To me that sounds like an ideally wonderful break, and totally stress-free.
