Finding our life's purpose

I enjoy making "posters" with helpful messages and encouraging thoughts for our healing journeys. Sometimes I get inspired by these posters; sometimes later rather than at time of creation, and write about them HERE. I was musing about creativity and WHY I blog and administer a FB page. WHY do I want to write, share and communicate with others who may be "where I used to be" on my healing journey??? Why not just move on and go and begin to work on my "next dream" in my life??? 


I guess that I have "found my niche" in life; though it is not a paying position; I don't expect to get rich or famous but I know that I am following my heart to DO what I love...to bring beauty into my life and the lives of others who have known the depths of sorrow, the mind bending, soul crushing and heart wrenching pain of abuse. I realize that I was worth doing it for and so is everyone else.

I began GREATER LIFE PAGES GROUP on Facebook to bring together other like minded and like spirited (non religious, non political and no sales) inspirational Facebook pages who truly desire to live a Greater Life and share their wisdom, talent and positive energy with the world. I realize that my focus is to SHARE beauty where ever I go; maybe because I realize that so many people, many due to abuse or even mental illness, are not able to enjoy it unless someone "share" it with them.

Sometimes 
we just have to see someone else living their dream 

before we start to believe that ours is possible.

It seems that while I was "in the midst" of abuse, I sought to "find my purpose"...I had not yet begun to think that "finding MYSELF, healing from abuse and learning to dream again" was a process of healing; I wanted a "quick fix" and to feel that my life had meaning was just enough for me to "hold on" and work through the issues before I realized that we could all be "Singing a New Song" after living with abuse in our lives. Sometimes we turn the desire outward rather than inward. We want to CHANGE THE WORLD...when really all we need to do is change ourselves. Change our outlook. Change our expectations. Allow ourselves to evolve and embrace the newness of our lives without a constant "purpose" in mind.

I know that I am rambling a bit in this entry but I can't help but think that what we think is good for us at the time, is usually NOT what is best for us overall. We tend to look for "something" to believe in, a "cause" to throw ourselves into, a purpose that seems to be higher than ourselves but sometimes it can turn out to be nothing more than a distraction from our healing; a time consuming journey that takes us AWAY from what we are really seeking. 

I believe our greatest purpose in life is to BE who we are; continue to grow and change face ourselves honestly and care for others and ourselves deeply and genuinely. This is my heart, my purpose and reason for starting this blog; Singing a Song Facebook page and Greater Life Pages Group Page.

Are you fulfilling your "purpose" in life? If you don't feel that you have found it; you might still be looking for what fulfills and completes you; what satisfies your soul as well as your mind. That is why we "find ourselves, heal from abuse and learn to dream again" here at Singing a New Song. I believe that ONCE WE FIND OURSELVES; embrace the wonderfully imperfect people we are and look deeply into our hearts and stop denying the pain and wounds that we find, that we will be on our healing journey toward Singing a New Song.

We are worth it!
