This week’s question from my portal “The Neagle Code: Directions for Life” comes from someone who wishes to remain anonymous.
Hi David,
What would you tell someone who is trying to figure out their purpose in life?
The first thing for a person to understand is that they’re always in their purpose.
The second thing is that they should get comfortable answering the question, “What do I want?”
There’s no living thing on this planet that is confused about its purpose other than human beings. The only reason we’re confused about it is because our entire life, we’ve been told we can’t have it—in one way or another, either directly or indirectly.
The idea is to get to the place where you’re giving yourself permission and you don’t feel guilt or shame by what you really want. Then start following that.
If a person says they don’t know what they want—that’s not true. They DO know. They’re just not being honest.
I’ve never met anybody who doesn’t know what they want.
Get them to a place where they feel safe enough to share, so that they’ll tell you what they want.
The other direction I’ll give to people is this:
What do you think about in your secret thoughts?—the thoughts you don’t tell anybody about?
Because I guarantee you, they’re thinking about something.
They either think they can’t have it, they shouldn’t have it, or they have guilt or shame around wanting it.
