Let's talk about Purpose

Things are created to serve their specific purpose. For example, a chair. It is created for it to be sit-in. In this blog, let us talk about Purpose.

Achieving goals and being successful in life will all be set aside if we don't know what its purpose is and how will it serve us. We do things on purpose. We eat because we want to be full but sometimes it is hard for us to define what really its purpose. Even the things that we do on a daily basis have their purpose.

Yesterday, I had a conversation with my friend when he was driving me home. I told him that my Lola is a nurse abroad. And he said that maybe she's already rich and I told him that my Lola's daughters were also in the states and our topic began.

Let's start by being a parent. What does it mean to have a child? As a member of the LGBTQIA+ Community, I often get asked if I wanted to have a child someday. And I always answer if God permits then who am I to refuse. I know some of them worries because they think I will be alone in the future but I wouldn't consider having one if that would be the reason for all of it. When children grow they will unintentionally leave you because of their career and their life. Your kids will not always stay beside you and you will still be left alone. But if I were to have a child, I'll make sure that he/she is going to have a good life. Because for me, Parenting is not just about providing things for your child but, it's about having a connection. It's about teaching/instilling good values and morals to your kids. And that for me is the purpose of being a parent.

Studying. Why do we study? To have a better future? Our parents would always tell us when we were kids that we should study hard and finish college. But, what for? I mean, some of the successful people are college dropouts and having a degree is not a basis of being successful in the future. To me, studying is all about absorbing all the information that we can use in our work.

Working. This one really hit me hard. My friend told me that we are just working as if we are just preparing for our funeral services. And that led me to ask myself what would be my purpose in the future as an employer/employee. I am still thinking of it well but in my case, the purpose of me for working is to help animals get back on track and to be their voice. Applying my knowledge in my field would be the sole purpose of studying and working.

Friends. Ever wondered why you are no longer friends with your elementary/ high school/ college friends? It's because they already served their purpose and they are considered as your seasonal friends. People come and go and Friends will not always stay but they were in our lives for some reason. Maybe their purpose is to console you in your darkest times and even your happiest moments. And most especially teaching you a lesson that will make you a strong person.

Blogging/Writing. Why do you write? For most of us, we write to earn money and we think it's the purpose of it. As the money would help us in our daily living. To me, the purpose of writing/blogging is not just about earning money but also to reach people and touch their lives.

We all have different timelines and finding purpose in what we do will not always be easy. We do things on purpose and I hope you'll find the purpose in what you do in life.
