"What is my purpose in life?", I asked the Universe.
"What if I told you that you fulfilled it when you took an extra hour to talk to that child about his life?', said the Voice. "Or when you paid for that young couple in that restaurant? Or when you saved that dog in traffic? Or when you tied your father's shoes for him?"
"Your problem is that you equate your purpose with goal-based achievements. The Universe isn't interested in your achievements...just your heart. When you choose to act out of kindness, compassion and love, you are already aligned with your true purpose. No need to look any further!"
All of us are looking for some purpose in our lives. But that usually ends up being some objectives to be achieved, some milestones to be attained. What is actually important is how we behave in day-to-day life-- whether our behaviour is giving happiness to others or hurting them. When we are able to behave and act with patience, empathy and consideration of others' feelings, we are already aligned with the purpose of our life.
