The Metamorphosis

If you are not sure what this whole life thing is about or you are constantly trying to find some meaning or purpose for your being placed here, then I congratulate you. You have reached a point that has surpassed merely existing and are now trying to make a purpose for yourself.

There are so many "existers" in this world when we need more "purposers".

The "existers" float around, aimless, drawn into random experiences one after the other. Some of these are quite useful and value adding but the "exister" was just pulled in by mere chance. A "purposer" has direction and an end goal in mind. They are conscience about every choice they have to make and whether it is taking them closer to or drawing them away from that end goal.

If you have reached that transition point where you are questioning your "exister" phase, then you are ready to become a "purposer". This transition phase may be quick for some and may last for years for others. I have not yet fully metamorphosized into a complete "purposer" yet and have been in this phase for some years. It can be frustrating. Very frustrating. The longer you are in that cocoon of change, the more driving is that desire to have a purpose. It becomes a desperate existence. That cocoon feeling almost like a trap. Take hope, in that the struggle you are feeling, is building strength in you, it is driving you to find that purpose that really gets you excited about life. Something unique that fits your personality and heart's desires. Don't get so frustrated that you take the first opportunity you see to get out. It may be a tear in your cocoon and you are not ready for the full metamorphosis yet. Stitch that tear up and continue being patient in what you are already doing until you know, beyond a doubt that what is calling you out of the cocoon of transition is really your life purpose and is your heart's passion. You will know...
