Purpose, Frustration and Hopelessness

Purpose, Frustration and Hopelessness

Today’s post is focused on some of the questions that have been sent in. There are way too many to answer but here are some brief, and I emphasize brief, responses.

1. “According to you what is the biggest purpose every human being must have, by accomplishing it they would enjoy the journey?” ~ Samar

A life purpose that is irrelevant to one's religious belief that most, if not everyone, can adopt is to be the best version of yourself. As you uplift yourself you uplift everyone around you. Not only people but all living things and the environment. This is one single act that will make a massive impact on you and everyone and everything around you. It changes how you act and react to life’s experiences allowing you to live a more rewarding life.

2. “Please share with me how to start each day to focus on the good energy and have the best vibe to set the tone for my entire day.” ~ Gabriel

One way is to start your day with affirmations, impressing your mind with the vibration you wish to set. If you are spiritually inclined, start your day with prayer and meditation. Avoid engaging in social media and the outside world as your first act upon awakening. Set a precedence for your mind at the beginning of the day and this will help set a precedence for the day.

3. “How can I overcome my frustrations while achieving the purpose of my life? What if the path is very frustrating” ~ Sunitha

The path is frustrating only because you are most likely viewing the process from a perspective that causes you to be frustrated. If I expect to teach a ten year old child how to do triple integrals and expect him to comprehend it then I’ll most likely be frustrated. If I understand that I need to take him through the mathematical training that he needs to understand triple integrals and that this process may take a few years then I will not be frustrated. Many expect to figure out their purpose in life quickly without having anyone to guide them in doing so, by not following a process, by not being dedicated to the process, by not desiring it enough, and more, and then wonder why they are frustrated.

4. “I feel like I lack the ability to be a human that’s easy to live with. I can’t even live with myself.” ~ Ann

The best thing to do when you find yourself in such a position is to start serving others. Find a way to serve selflessly. If you can, take time out, travel and volunteer at a place that truly needs help. If you can’t do that then find ways to serve others locally. And in doing so, do it well. Give it your all. And this will help lift your awareness out of lower states of mind into uplifting ones. This would be my recommendation.

    What changed my life forever!

    I’ve been blogging weekly for a long time though in the last few months I’ve only posted a handful of them. The reason for this is that I’ve been completely immersed in the creation of my book, The Power of Unwavering Focus. I first started working on it around four years ago an

    Is Listening to Music Multitasking?

    Here's my response to a question submitted by one of my weekly email subscribers. “Is listening to music with no words and doing something else distracting? Is that multitasking? I sometimes listen to sounds of frequencies while I work. Our sound bowls.” ~ Nomy It is not distra

    Change, Failure and Discouragement

    People think that change is binary but it is not. It is not an on and off switch. If you break an addiction or a habit you abhor for a while then there is a very high chance you will relapse at some point in the future. Should you have worked with yourself in a deep and sincere

    Are you on track?

    We are close to reaching the halfway mark of 2022. It feels, at least to me, the new year was not too long ago. A new year is often a promise of hope. A time when many people make plans, set goals and resolutions, and more than anything wish for things to be better, especially in

    Purpose Drives Focus

    Today, I wanted to continue on the topic that I touched on in my last post which was purpose. If you look at a person's day, most of what happens in their day is driven by purpose. When we get in a car it is quite often, if not always, to go somewhere specific. Even if we decided

    Where have I been

    It’s quite obvious I’ve been absent from posting on my blog. It has been six and a half months since my last post. Over the last twelve months, I’ve invested a significant amount of my energy and time in the creation of my book. That was not the only thing I was absorbed in. Muc
