There is a reason you came to the earth. Your soul knows this reason, but your mind may not, because your mind may be thinking about it in all the wrong ways…
(Last Friday I began here a series of blogs on life purpose and life mission. You may find it useful to refer back to that blog to “catch up” on where we have been and where we are going here.)
My life mission is to change the world’s mind about God. What’s yours? I asked this question last week, and the first response I received in the Comments Section was this, from Josh…

Well if I had already tapped into why my soul came here to this earth to be and do what it came here to be and do I would already be doing it, but I’m not, all I know is that my soul came here to evolve and experience something, I only wish I knew what it was it came here to experience.

Josh, what I want to tell you is that millions of people feel exactly the way you do. Millions. In fact, most of the people I meet — and I do a lot of traveling, all over the world — tell me the same thing. “If I only knew…if I only knew…”
I want to share with you now what I share with them:
There is nothing to know, Josh. There is no ‘blackboard in the sky’ on which it is written:

JOSH IS A FINE PERSON WHO LIVED IN THE FIRST PART OF THE 21ST CENTURY WHO:

…followed by a blank line that God has filled in, with different words for every person….and all you have to do is find that blackboard…
That’s not how it is, Josh. God is not sitting up there with a purpose in mind for each of us, our job being to discover what that is. Why would God do that? Why would God be so cruel?

“Ha! I’ve got a great purpose for Josh…but I’m not going to tell him what it is. Hey, angels, come on over here! Look down there! See Josh? Look at him scrambling around down there trying to find the purpose I gave him. Think he’ll find out what it is before he dies? Ha! This is great!”

That’s not how it is, Josh. That’s just not how it is. Conversations with God tells us: “Life is not a process of discovery, life is a process of creation.”
There is no purpose, set in heaven, for you to discover, there is only an opportunity for you to create. Here’s the extraordinary news, Josh: With regard to “what it was you came here to experience”…you get to decide.
And here’s the even better news: There’s no limit to what you can decide.
The question is not, “What am i supposed to be doing here?” The question is, “What do I choose to be doing here? What do I want to be doing here?”
My own life mission — to change the world’s mind about God — is not something that was “given” me. It is something I gave myself.. I decided that on my own. Nobody told me to do it.
You get to make your own determination about why you are here, Josh, and what you came to experience. That is what life is for. God gave you the gift of life just so that you could make this very decision — and then live it out as your functioning reality.
More on this tomorrow…
