Consider that for everything that you don’t like there is a preference born out of it. For every negative there is a desire for the positive. The question is, which side of the coin are you looking at.
For every problem there is a solution. If the problem was big enough and important enough (you know this by the amount of time you think about it and how negative it feels to you when you do think about it) you might very well have a really big desire building. So, from the problem comes a desire for something new. That desire for something new could now be your new life purpose. There is nothing like having a perceived problem that helps you get present to something that is important to you. When it is viewed as a problem it is in the beginning stages of creation. You are determining what you don’t want. From there, it should move into knowing what it is you would now prefer. Life has helped you to determine something specific.
Now, this is relative to what you have lived thus far in life. If you lived in poverty your desire would be different than someone who didn’t. If you lived where there was poor water your desire would be different than someone who lived with good water. Point is, what you prefer, which came from your perceived problem, is specific to what your individualistic and specific life has helped you to determine.
Once you understand what life has helped you to determine what it is you would like–whether that is a healthy body because you were ill or a lean body because you were overweight–it doesn’t matter what it is so long as you are asking for an impovement, for evolvement and expansion of “what is.” Life is about expansion and right now any problem you think you have is nothing more than the beginning point of a new solution–the expansion from “what is.”
This new improvement, if it is important enough to you, may have given way to a new purpose in your life. There is nothing more life-giving than having a life that has purpose–regardless of what that purpose is. Purpose is purpose. And when that purpose is aligned with a positive end result, nothing becomes more enriching when you are on task to accomplish it.
