Find Your Purpose

Find Your Purpose

A Poem by Laura Harrison

I don’t think we will ever understand

the ways of the world

the great mysteries that have never been solved

but I feel like nobody even tries to anymore

we walk through life like zombies

sleep, eat, work, repeat

tell me, where is the adventure?

Where is the passion?

Where is the desire to be more?

The curiosity to know more

The courage to do what we want

and say what we feel

and not worry about the consequences.

We all want to know our purpose on this earth

to know why we were created

but I think the big test in life

is simply to live-

freely, carelessly, hopefully…

happily

because we all have days

some of us even months

where nothing is okay

we all have times where we think to ourselves

is it really worth it?

The answers is yes. Absolutely .

So come on, get out of your rut

open your eyes and take a look at the world

realise how beautiful it really is

read more poetry

listen to more music

fall in love

do something daring

but whatever you do

make sure it makes you feel happy

make sure it makes you feel alive

find your purpose in life.

I agree dear Poet.
"read more poetry

but whatever you do "
Live is to be lived and enjoyed. Thank you for sharing the outstanding and hopeful poetry.

Very rightly said, finding the purpose in life should be the ultimate goal of everyone....

Feels lacklustre at times but perhaps that's because we seldom listen to the soul's needs...simply to just be in the moment, beautiful :)

lord, i can remember when we went out on adventures,we would stay out all day searching for what ever..
we get older,work all the time and lose that
