Question: What is my life purpose?
I am trying to find my passion my purpose in life but I don't have a clue. Can you offer any advice or direction?

Shadonna, age 34
Answer: Dear Shadonna,

Your question is one that has been asked thousands of times by thousands of people... millions and billions of people. We all want a purpose. We want to know why we are here and what we are here to accomplish. We want there to be meaning, feeling and thrill. Ultimately we want to love and be loved.

My suggestion for you is to start with what you love. Who do you love? How do you love? What in your everyday life brings you the feeling of love?

That answer will lead you to your passion. Once you explore your passion, then determine how you can fulfill that passion everyday.

For example, if you love shoes and all you can think about are beautiful shoes, owning them, wearing them, dancing in them, then shoes are a passion for you. How can that passion be part of your daily life? You could fulfill that passion by selling shoes, designing shoes, modeling shoes, etc. Be creative. Your purpose can be a simple as sharing your passion and love for shoes.

Many Blessings,
Jaelin
