Trying to find my purpose in life is very difficult. I cannot know what the future holds so how
can I pick out something to stand for the rest of my life? And not only that, but I believe God sets a purpose
to all life. I don’t want to pick a
purpose because there is a high possibility it is way off from His purpose for
me. Even with not having a clue what my
purpose is, I can take a guess at a few possibilities.
One of these is to help animals.
Ever since I was little I have loved animals, and they seem to love
me. For as long as I can remember I have
wanted to be a vet. At home I would play
vet with the beanie babies we had, or if one of our animals got hurt I would
help doctor it up. My love for animals,
will hopefully lead me down the road to a purpose with helping them, or helping
people through them.
Helping people could also be a purpose.
My friends can always come and talk to me about anything. I am a great listener. I will let them rant or vent and just sit
there. If they need advice I will try my
best to give the best advice I can. Sometimes
it’s great and I need to be reminded of my own words. Other times, not so much. It can be pretty random. The good thing about the randomness to me is I
can make people smile and laugh is some of the worst situations. If they are having a breakdown I can say
something so random it makes them laugh.
With this I could maybe be able to help people. The only problem is that I am not a huge
people person, so helping people may not be a good idea. But, I will always
help my friends, no matter what.
When you think deeper about your purpose in life, it makes me think, is
there more than one purpose to my life?
At this point in life could my purpose be different than when I get
older? Or, am I just set for one path
and everything I do is just leading up to that?
There are so many questions that I can’t answer. If I were to have multiple purposes, that
could be a great thing, or terrible. It
could be great because that means my life has more meaning. I will help the world in more than just one
way. I would have a lot to look forward. I like to help so, the more the better. It could be terrible because it could be
extremely stressful. If you know your
purpose or in this case purposes, there is more pressure on you. This pressure could come from others wanting you
to fulfill your purpose to its fullest. And
yet, you may pressure yourself more than anyone else could. I know I would. If I would know my purpose I would push
myself to the edge so that I would do the best job I could, and not let anyone
down.
Overall, I don’t know what my purpose is.
And I don’t want to know. God
will pick one for me, if there is one, and when I figure that out it will be
when and where it is suppose to be. If I
would know from the get go I would focus so much on that and not on other
important things. Like if it turns out
to be helping animals, I wouldn’t want to help people. If it is to help people I wouldn’t want to help
animals as much, because I would know what I am doing in the future and not
want to waste time. When the time comes
that I find out my purpose, I will follow it the best I can. Until then, I plan to go to college. Go on to
vet school, and start working at a practice.
Eventually I want to continue my education to learn equine chiropractic
and acupuncture. When I get that I want
to start my own business with that. All the while I still want to be able to show
my horses on a national level, and when I get a place of my own maybe raise a
few foals each year.
I have big goals for my life, but it is better to aim high and hit on
target than to aim right on and hit low.
You got to go big or go home!
