Ever have a realization of what your purpose is?

heavyduty · 08:37 PM

Have any of you ever seen through the cloud that is our conciousness and actually found out after trial and error as to what your purpose is intended for in this lifetime? A hidden talent, or something you realized you were brought up around and know much about?

For me it would have to be accepting the fact that I was brought up in a tradesman type family. Carpentry, electric, and other trade skills. I have a nack for it it seems. Only until recently have I seen through and realized what gives me pride and the positivity to see good things in the future.

Has anyone ever had something like this happen? Explain

I was just thinking what is my 'calling'. I've just finished uni and i have no drive or obvious purpose. Am looking for a job and have no idea what so ever what to do. All i care about is working out and doing martial arts so might look into a job in that area

I work in the same field man....but i know it's not my purpose. I mean I like to create things and get joy out of helping people but I can't help to think that's theres something more lined up down the road. I've been doing construction since I was 16 and done just about everything( worst job was working in a cabinet shop). Right now I just do finish carpentry, sheet rock, and some tile in custom homes....It sucks

I see how you can like it but for me it's allways a deadline and some contractor always ripping someone off!

I just graduated with a degree in political science and had an internship with the local city council last year. I didn't enjoy it. I put in my fair share yet didn't really enjoy public service.

I've been searching jobs online and via some contacts I have. I've had two offers (one a sales position for some high-end printers, copiers, etc.; the other a company that does equivilancy for coursework and/or degrees earned internationally) and turned down both due to salary and instinct.

I'm still searching what it is I'm meant to do. I've had interviews with some hotels in town for assistant positions and some high-end sales.

I'm keeping my options open. Being a poli. sci. major, you can do everything or nothing.

Hell, I even had a major contact w/Zuffa from when the UFC came into town. I handed him a resume when they were in the hotel and spoke at length with the spanish production crew. The director and I had kept in contact until he told me there's nothing he could do on his end. I was somewhat upset, but emailed/faxed him a letter thanking him for his time and efforts.

I kinda always knew I was going to work with children somehow, used to babysit alot probably started when I was about 11-12, realized pretty soon that I wasn't gonna be a soccer-pro ): too bad I didn't know that MMA were around

I would suggest looking into becoming a referee in the mma field. I have noticed that Herb Dean and Steve Masagati (sp) are in a lot of different venues other than the UFC. It would be a way to make a living to support you mma passion.

Nope. I seriously contemplate suicide every morning and as the day wears on I even out to a worn out neutrality slog through my day mostly because I have no purpose and am working a long term contract job doing shit diddly. I have no idea what i want to do or what I"m going to do once this holding pattern job is over. What i want to do is use the money i've saved up to bum around in Hawaii for 3-4 months and just train jiu-jitsu with BJ! WOOOT! Otherwise my purpose is suck air until I die.
