Looking Back

I saw something today while reading that said” go back to your childhood and look at the all the things you obsessed over. It will give you a wonderful insight towards your purpose” So, I sat and rewound the tapes of time. I can remember around 7 ish sitting at my dad’s old office desk and being “in charge” I used that same desk to teach all my dolls their schoolwork. I remember taking those baby dolls everywhere I went, each of them had a first, middle, and last name. I still remember each of their names. I remember being outside and loving the time I spent outdoors, if the kids only had a playground like we had back in the day. Those old wooden playgrounds with big slides and gigantic tire swings. The ones you watch all your friends do really dumb ass shit on 😂 I remember playing basketball all summer outside with my friends. As I walk through my memories and compare them to what I’m doing today I’d say I’m on the right path. I’m definitely walking towards my purpose. There was a time I had no clue what my purpose was, but I chose to have faith in the unknown. Turns out, it’s paying off in ways I may have never imagined. I am in a position to help guide others on their path. To Help empower them and know their self worth. I am able to sit with my kids and their friends and teach them things I’ve learned, and answer their questions from a place of love, understanding and non judgment. I am in a position where there are people who count on me and trust me. I know when I spend time in nature it recharges my energy and gives me a sense of peace. On top of all that I’m able to watch my sons play basketball and watch their dreams come to life. That being said, I believe the article was right. When you focus on the things that fill your soul with joy, that’s an indication you’re walking in your purpose. Each day there’s something new for me to learn. My purpose becomes a little more clear and so does the direction I’m headed. I remind myself often that I’m exactly where I’m meant to be. There is no rushing towards the destination when we talk about purpose. It’s all in the journey. In the journey is where you find happiness ❤️
