Visualize
a Higher Purpose In Your Life
Do you ever feel uncertain about your purpose
in life, or wonder if there’s something more you should be
doing? Feelings like this are common, and many people aren’t
sure how to handle them. They can search for years for a sense
of purpose and meaning – or worse, live their lives forever
feeling dissatisfied and empty!
Whether you believe there is a specific higher purpose for
your life or you’d simply like to feel more purposeful in your
daily activities, visualization is one tool that can provide
insight and guidance for a more meaningful existence.
Before you begin visualizing, first take a few minutes to
relax and let go of tension, stress, fear or frustration you
may be holding in your mind or body.
Then, bring
to mind an image of your higher self (also known as your
authentic self, your spirit, etc.) in your mind’s eye. See this part of yourself glowing with light and radiating
confidence and joy, knowing without a doubt what he or she
is meant to be doing here. Take your time viewing this inner
you, and allow your vision to gradually expand until you can
see yourself doing something that brings much joy and passion
to your life.
If nothing comes to you at first, just take your time and
enjoy the visualization process. Don’t try to force it because
straining will cloud your focus. Eventually (even if it’s on
a later day), you should be able to see an image of yourself
doing something that’s meaningful to you.
When that happens, usually one of two things will happen with
it: Either you won’t be surprised because you’ll simply remember
that you’ve always felt a connection to this particular activity;
or you’ll realize something surprising that you never would
have thought of doing, but which makes you feel very excited
now! Either way, you’ve got a strong clue from your subconscious
mind about something that would give you the sense of purpose
and meaning you seek!
Once you have this clue, take some time to think about it
more completely. Can you see yourself doing this thing? It
doesn’t have to be your career unless you decide to make it
so; you can choose to keep it as a hobby or recreational pursuit.
However, this is a sign from your inner wisdom that such an
activity would bring you great joy and satisfaction so you
should take it seriously and come up with ways to bring it
into your life in some form.
You can also use this same process to visualize a higher purpose
in anything you do. For example, let’s say you’re not thrilled
with your job but circumstances prevent you from obtaining
another one right now. Simply enter into a daily visualization
exercise where you can see how your current work benefits you
and others. Imagine yourself gaining greater enjoyment and
satisfaction from your current job, and feeling good while
you’re there.
This process can also be used to realize greater enjoyment
and meaning from any and all activities, such as your exercise
routine, your relationships, or any other aspect of your life.
The more you practice “seeing” yourself with a sense of purpose
in whatever you do, the greater contentment and satisfaction
you’ll gain from them – and that sense of emptiness and aimlessness
will vanish forever.
