Life With Purpose.



The more I sit and wonder what life is all about I a seem get more questions than answers. Is this it? Am I doing it right? Am I following the correct path? It can be so overwhelming and frustrating to think about it.

The only people who have the right answers to any of my questions have passed on and can no longer give them to us. I also think no two lives are the same. So there answers would have no relevance to your questions. But, they could give you some good advice I am sure.   We are all unique in our own special way. How I perceive the value of life is going to be different than anyone else.  It doesn't make my definition any more correct than the next persons. I am so simple I'm complicated. I find the things I value most have no true price. It's about the small gestures for me at least.

The value of life for me is constantly reminding myself "it's okay let God take you where you need to go". It's as I said so simple it's complicated. Knowing your life has a purpose is the number one thing!! You matter because you were created!! The lives you touch and the interactions you have are a part of an even bigger purpose. It's okay to not know what your purpose is but, don't give up on it. One day someone will point it out to you and you will have your AHA moment. 

One life can't be summed up in a word or a smile or a net worth. It's a life.

My life is defined by the following: my friends and family, the mistakes I've made, what I've learned from them, the pain I've caused, the pain I've felt, the forgiveness I seek and have been granted, the love I give and receive, whether or not I have a good heart(I try to have a good heart in all I do), loyalty, doing the right thing even if it's not the popular thing, being a child of God  and never giving up on my purpose.

I am a fighter and am a driven little Italian. I am extremely stubborn but, I would give you the shirt off of my back if you need it.I have made my mistakes and am a better woman because of them. I know how precious a life is. I understand to not take it for granted. You only have on life. That's it no do over. 
I hate asking for help. The main person I ask for help is my silent partner upstairs! I trust him and any path he sends me on. There is a reason to his rhymes. Knowing this I take life as a marathon not a sprint. It will all work out how it's supposed to and that might not be the way you thought it was supposed to go. But, we don't see the whole picture. Find the things you find important that define your life and live it. Once you figure out those things you should have an idea on what your purpose is. If not don't worry because you my dear have a purpose! Your life has meaning. Your life is precious.  Just remember trust that God has you covered. He does:)
