My Dearest Daughter,
Do you know what your purpose is in life? Do you stop to think about how what you're doing now circles back to your ultimate why?
I find myself thinking about this a lot, to live a purpose-driven life, that the actions I take all contribute to a better self and ultimately a better world.
It sounds quite lofty, and that's because it is. It's not easy to practice, and it's not easy to talk about. You'll find that there are a lot of people that don't want to talk about purpose, let alone think about it, b/c oftentimes, people are unsure about their purpose in life, or maybe they do know, yet they also know that their actions are misaligned. I know that's when I feel the most discomfort. When I'm confronted by the knowledge that my actions aren't fulfilling my ultimate why.
My life's purpose, my dear daughter, is to share, spread, and grow love. In everything I do, every day, with everyone. I learned this when I was 27. That's 8 years ago, and I am still trying to live it. And I've failed at it a lot and continue to fail at it to this day. But I've also am pretty great at it, too. :) It's not really a goal that can be reached once, it's an every day, every moment thing, so it's really more like a personal mission or way of life. I also don't think I've every been able to successfully verbalize my life's purpose of love. Maybe b/c we manifest love in so many ways. Discipline can be love. Being with you can be love. Giving you my resources can be love.
This. This here, me writing you letters is love. So that's why I'm here. Why I've stepped from one side of being simply a consumer of social media to the other side of crafting this content. I had paused posting on my personal social media channels for a quite a while now. Outside of doing it for work, I was very lost on how I can add value to people's lives via social media in a way that really meant something to me. But now I understand. It's clear. My heart beats strongly with certainty that I can share, spread and grow love this way. With you and maybe other daughters out there who could use some extra love.
I have so much love to give. Thank you for reading and giving me the space for me to share.
I love you,
Mama
