Once in my life when I was really confused and I was most surely not filled up with real joy. My whole life had "turned out" just as I'd believed it would. I graduated school, I got a job and a nice place to live. I had friends, family, along with a long-term relationship. When I looked to my future, it was filled with brilliant, comfortable days. The part that I hadn't planned on was how disorienting it was to complete my goals. Once achieved, I didn't know what to do after that.
I began to feel unsatisfied and I couldn't pinpoint why. I tried all sorts of solutions: I switched from walking to jogging, I bought candles to create a home "nest", I tried reading diverse books, yoga, and so on and on. As the weeks stacked up on each other, my bafflement mounted, and my days grew to be hazier. My sense of time warped, each day appearing longer and more directionless as opposed to the last. I asked myself how I would actually find authentic pleasure again. My sparkly future was today lack-luster. I had made the mistake of thinking that my life had "turned out", rather than knowing that we all keep growing and challenge ourselves every day. Life is growth and human beings are a part of life. Life doesn't stay stagnant and neither do we.
One sunny day at the seashore, my entire purpose suddenly flipped and my life started in a fresh direction. As I walked past a lone female walking in the yellow sand, a bolt of energy struck through me and I heard a voice say to me, "What if you could help individuals get over the thoughts and feelings that cause them pain?" That question shattered the existing lens through which I viewed life. I now saw that I was to put my entire life to good use for others. Despite the hot sunlight on my skin, I got a chill, since I knew that I was back in my path to authentic happiness.
I saw that I had achieved objectives to get my own special, fundamental needs met: an education, a job, and a residence. But, whenever my life purpose flipped, it consequently switched my goals, also. For the first time, I observed that getting my own survival needs achieved was not how to appraise the quality of my well being. I recognized, down deep, the difference between generating value (money) and creating value which could lead to money. I knew that developing value was to be the emphasis of my next set of goals; it will bring an end to the months of uncertainty and confusion and I would find real happiness again.
This didn't mean that all I had done before that second was in vain, because, for me, finding out how to earn money was a truly necessary prerequisite with regard to learning to create value. Everything before that moment was done to help me to achieve goals that I didn't even realize I had. My mind was reawakened, my hiding doubts were destroyed, and I was revived with my brand-new purpose - I felt authentic happiness once yet again.
