The Purpose of My Life

I walk upon this Earth in order to make myself into a better person. The Earth is my School. I learn my lessons through my day-to-day activities, my relationships with other people, and the circumstances that surround me, throughout my entire life.

Everything that does come into my life is for my benefit. The difficult times in my life do not come to me from meanness, but come to me from goodness, for my benefit, to help me grow and develop my personality, through seeing the truth about myself in difficult situations, that force flaws in my character personality to the surface. I need to look as honestly as I can, at my thoughts my actions my words, and with my interactions with other people. I need to be willing to see my faults, my errors, my misjudgments, any harsh words spoken towards other people and myself.

It is my harsh thoughts and actions towards others and myself, that holds me back, keeps me from growing in the different aspects of my life. My judgments of others, pushes me away from the peace harmony, success in my life.

I am here upon this Earth, my School, to discover and repair these issues within myself. I am in the perfect place at the perfect time, in the perfect circumstances to correct these errors that are within me, to heal myself, my Soul. This is why I walk upon the Earth, to learn to become a better person through the experiences of my daily life.

The Universe, the Infinite and I are in a partnership for my growth my development. We give me lessons for my personal education; this helps me understand my motives behind my actions, so I can begin the healing process of my issues.

From this Book I will gain new thoughts, ideas and different ways to look at the circumstances in my life. This will help guide me through the lessons of my day-to-day experiences in my life. I will also gain more insight from my past experiences by applying these new understandings to my past actions, thoughts and desires.

By having the willingness to voluntarily look at myself more truthfully honestly, doors of inspiration, understanding, opportunity will become available and open for me. My life’s circumstances will begin to move and change in new directions and my days will be more fruitful and peacefully lived. I will have a better understanding and respect of the World and my place in it. This Book is a Workbook for my Soul’s Development.

This World, this Earth is my School for my Education.

Chapter 3

A New Foundation, understanding to build upon

If I can accept just one idea, a Universal Truth, as being absolutely true, no matter what, in any and all circumstance what so ever, then everything else will fall in to place, and I can logically understand the World and my place in it. This truth is:

"The world is a perfect place. I am in the perfect place,

at the perfect time, in the perfect circumstances, for my benefit."

So no matter what comes to me in my life, I can hold this Universal Truth up as my guide my ideal. This Truth will always point me in the correct direction and keep me grounded with a more positive attitude. No matter what the circumstances this statement of Truth is placed in, it always holds true. If it seems that it is not correct, that means I am not asking the correct questions, or I do not know which questions to ask, or I am not fully understanding the answers yet. This Universal Truth is my spiritual compass. If this is a difficult Universal Truth to hold on to at this time then, use another Universal Truth can be used, also both at the same time. This one is; The more I practice, the better I become, this can also be an excellent Universal compass used in the same way, this also always holds true.

This means that these circumstances I find myself in, has come to me for a reason, so this situation I am in is for my benefit. Starting from a Universal Truth, I can now honestly, truthfully uncover discover, the real reason for the circumstances I am in, and not be sidetracked by blaming someone else or something else, or my environment my surroundings, for where I am in my life at this time. These circumstances have come to me to help me, not to hurt me, this is definitely for my benefit, tailor made just for me. Because at this time in my life I need to recognize see something, about myself, that I need to improve upon. Wherever I am, this is for my benefit. I am responsible for where I am right now. Actions that I have taken in the past have brought me to this place I am in today. My work is before me now, so it is time to work on me Now.

Looking at myself honestly truthfully can hurt. There are things about me I do not want to see, because it causes me to feel great pain sadness about myself and others. The choice is mine, I can learn my lessons lightly tip-toeing around the surface of them for a long time, perhaps a life time, or I can go through my lessons more deeply intensely for a shorter amount of time and then it ends. It is up to me, as to what depth of honesty I choose to look at myself, I can also turn my back and live my life in denial. I am always choosing one of these by my thoughts and actions that I live, each day.

The choice is mine, that is free will. The only real control, power I have in my life, is to do or not to do, take action or not take action. Sit on the couch and do nothing or get up and do something, and always it is what is the cause of my choice, my motive? It is up to me, my life on this Earth, this is my opportunity to improve myself. The World, this Earth is my School. So the question is, how much will I learn in school, or will I drop out? I am always making this choice by my actions and non-actions. I am a student for the length of my life time, whether I want to be or not. So, I might as well do something constructive with my life.

This Book will help me to see the World differently than I have before, with new values new thoughts, new understandings, new perspectives, new insights. As I look back upon my past experiences, emotions, actions, I will see them in a new light, from a new view point. Because of these new understandings of the World and my place in it, this will give me a new foundation to build upon. A foundation of strength balance and more compassion for other people and myself. I will learn to look upon, view everyone including myself, with respect and have a kinder gentler hand with people. It is from this new foundation, this new understanding of the purpose of my life, here at this School called Earth, that a new calm, peace of mind will come to me, because I will understand Why, How Come, What For, I walk upon this Earth.

The World the Earth is everyone’s school. Everyone is my fellow student. We all have the same goal. We are all trying to improve ourselves whether we realize this or not. If we realize it, then we accomplish faster, more thoroughly and at deeper levels. If I am unaware of this, then it just takes longer. Ether way my growth development of my personality is still being accomplished. The word is a perfect place.

When I know that the World is a perfect place, then I am accepting my responsibilities for these circumstances that I find myself in. My thoughts, my actions and my interactions with others, have brought me to my present circumstances. I am always responsible for myself. This Book helps me understand my interconnections with other people, and the World, and how better to recognize, be aware of, my life’s lessons, as I walk upon my Inner Roads in the discovering of the true Me, and my relationship to the Universe.

Question myself, where in my life was this so?

Focus upon reviewing my Thoughts, Feelings my Actions.

When I do not understand a part of my life, I need to question myself: What do I not want to see about this situation, myself? What part did I play in causing this situation?

Self examination is one of my biggest Keys, to living a successful life. However I must look at myself with honest eyes, in order to see my true self’s, daily interactions with people, and my inner thoughts. Are my thoughts judgmental or non-judgmental?

My Lessons my education is in The Reviewing of My Actions,

in each of my days, of my life.

Chapter 4

The Person I am, is My Value

At times I have admired someone in the world that has become successful at what they do; an entertainer, industrialist, scientists, athletes, movie stars, singers of songs, doctors, etc. When I talk with someone that has actually met my heroes personally, the question is eventually asked, What kind of person are they? If the answer is, they are kind of a jerk, I feel disappointed, their accomplishments are then diminished in my eyes. If the answer is, a great person, just what you would expect, then my feeling is that’s great, I thought they would be. The person that they are, is their real value, not what they do, their job, or what they have. It is their personality their ideals that they live by daily, that’s their real value, the accomplishment that is remembered. It is the same for all of us.

The kind of person I am, my personality, this is my value, this is how I am remembered, this is how I am thought of. That is what lasts, what endures. That is what I always have with me, wherever I go, even when my pockets are empty. The person I am, the parts that make up me, this is my gold, my diamonds, my value. So making me into a better person is the best thing I can do for myself and for everyone around me. My personality is what I take with me when I pass back to the spiritual side of life. All of the material things that I have purchased stays behind on the physical side of life.

We all learn by example. My examples are my heroes, my family, friends, people I meet in my life’s activities, these are my daily examples. They teach me how to do business, how to treat other people, in good ways and not so good ways. I am learning all of this by example, even when I do not realize it. By making me into a better person, I then become a good example for others and in turn they become good examples for others. Theoretically by focusing only on improving myself, I can help make the world into a better place by being a good example. It all starts with me. I do not have to save the world or even a small part of it; I just have to save myself. Everything will grow and blossom from the goodness I cultivate within Myself.

Cars, houses, jewelry, businesses, jobs will come and go, but my feelings and emotions are with me forever. There are no timeouts with my feelings and emotions. Therefore, it is only logical and a real need that I should put time and energy into understanding, respecting and healing my feelings and emotions. Working on myself, is a valuable investment that pays me continuously through my daily living, and all the way through my entire life time. I am a valuable asset, investment.

My feelings and emotions are my greatest assets and my greatest gifts to others. When I tell someone that it is good to see them again, that I missed them, I love them, then they feel that I care about them, they feel cared for. That is a lasting gift to them. That was my feelings and emotions I gave to them, I expressed out loud what was in side of me, I gave of myself. It is the feelings we get from other people that we value treasure remember, as time goes by. Who do I remember in a good way or in a bad way in my life? Why do I remember them? What did they cause me to feel?

What am I hiding? To get at the truth about my feelings and emotions I have to dig deep within myself. I need to go into those dark places I do not want to go into. Those dark truths that I carry with me everyday, these hold me back from my peace of mind, and feeling good about myself. I am constantly hiding the parts of me I do not want anyone to see, including myself. I wear a mask to hide behind so other people will not see the wounded, scared, shameful feelings I have, in some facet portion part of my life. I am afraid that if people see this truth about me, they may not like me anymore. My mask can be made out of many things; my career, money, cars, my talent, companions, alcohol, drugs, my attitude and many other things. Living behind my mask is exhausting and I am not being honest with others or myself. Besides people will still feel and respond to the person that I am, my good parts and the parts I have tried to hide cover up. They will respond to me as a likable or not so likable person, or there are parts about me they feel uneasy about. My feelings and emotions are my value, they are my gold my diamonds, or they can be my mud that I carry in my pockets, each and every day. Sometimes people can feel the truth about me, even though I hide behind my mask.

When I am feeling angry, sad or deeply depressed, that is a good thing. I am connecting with my emotions, and my emotions are telling me there is a part of me that needs help. I need to look within myself to find when I was emotionally injured. By whom, where and when, and the circumstances I was in, when my feelings my heart were hurt, crushed. This is where the root cause of my issues, wounds, triggers, hurt feelings live, and this is what affects me, in the daily living of my life and my relationships with people. I need to be my own detective-doctor in order to diagnose when and where my injures to my heart occurred.

When I have been Hurt, this is a Wound, this is my Issue, this is a Button

that can be pushed, that Triggers my Emotions, throughout my life. If left unhealed,

the wound festers worsens and becomes Bigger, and can affect more parts of me.

Sticks and stones can only break my bones, but harsh unloving words can cut deep into my heart and make me slowly bleed in emotional pain for a lifetime. Harsh cutting words and the lack of affections like; no hugs, no I love you’s, this all makes me feel uncared for, that I am of less value. Consequently the result is, now I have been given, acquired, a low self-esteem, and I am always working at hiding that part of me, trying to cover it up. I do not want people to see that weak vulnerable part of me. Also I want to protect that part of me from getting hurt, injured again. And I’m living my life from weakness.

The injuries to my Soul, comes to me through my Heart.

My wounds-issues affect most aspects of my life. In my work, family, friends, relationships. Perhaps I will do the same to others, speaking harshly and holding back my love from people I care about, because this is what I was taught to do by the examples from my life experiences with family, friends and other people.

If I am walking upon this Earth, that means I am trying to develop myself into a better person. At times this can be very emotionally draining and great sadness can overwhelm me. This is normal. If I am feeling these things that means I am doing a good job. I am connecting with the pain-hurt parts that are inside of me. This is when it is time to work on myself, to bring the pain and hurt fully to the surface. Now I can deal with it, work on it with my new tools of understanding. This takes courage and a willingness to look at myself honestly. It helps to know that those of us that are walking upon this Earth, all need to do the same thing, I am not alone in this learning experience.

Actions I can do, to heal myself: I can set aside some time each day to go ahead and feel these sad distressing dark feelings I have, and then write about what I’m feeling in emotional detail. This is how I will get these feelings and emotions out of me. This is how I can heal me, my issues. This work needs to be accomplished first, then I can forgive and then
