Finding The Purpose Behind Your Purpose
by
Bill Cottringer
In the beginning I started out being convinced that everybody and everything in life needed changing. For a long time I thought my main purpose in life was simply to change others with my chaos-spreading behavior. My particular brand of chaos involved imposing complex and unusual ideas about life and how people should live it, with my high energy [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], creativity and multidimensional thinking.
Once we understand the necessity of fitting in first [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], we begin to see most things are just fine the way they are. At that point we begin to see the few things that do need changing and start gaining the skills that are required to make these changes. Our focus moves toward trying to restore order by seeing clearly through the chaos and confusion, which we all create by failing to try and fit in before we try to rearrange life to our liking. The other purposes we start fulfilling are remembering, understanding, growing, serving, and enjoying.
Understanding
Finding the real purpose to our lives can provide us with valuable meaning. Such meaning can give us the right direction and structure we need, which will eventually lead to the success and contentment we want. I have discovered six inter-related purposes to my life that give it more meaning than I will never need to keep on giving a command performance to the end.

Remembering
Much success in life is contingent upon remembering important things we need to know. Much of what we need to know is unconscious and consequently we have to increase our listening skills to hear our faint brain whispers, which are offering clues. One of the most important things for us to remember is what unique goal we promised to accomplish in return for the opportunity to have this life. Other important things to remember are answers to questions such as Who am I? Where am I going? How do I get there? Another part of remembering involves the gradual recall of all these other purposes we have in which to find more meaning.
We are all on a journey in life. The psychological aspect of this journey involves a combination purpose of fitting in and making what we are fitting into better. In my own experience, I have found that we often start out focusing too quickly on the second part of this purpose. We try to change things and make them better before we learn how to fit into something that was here long before we were and will remain long after we are gone. At least I know I flip-flopped these priorities.
One of the biggest challenges in life is trying to get along with others. The best way to get along with others is to try and understand them more. Once you understand something, your need to control or change it decreases. This is one of the most important insights about life in general―most things really doesn’t need controlling o
I liked to push people’s buttons and upset their ordinary, comfortable mindset, challenging them to expand their thinking. Entire viewpoints were my main target. I also liked to take things apart in an attempt to understand them better [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], forgetting to put them back together again afterwards. In the first part of my life I operated under the impression that everything needed to be taken apart and changed.
Fitting in and making what we are fitting into better
In looking back, I now realize I rebelled against a psycho-spiritual reality that nobody can change: We have to learn how to fit into life and everything of which we are a part first, before we can be successful in making anything better and achieve the happiness, contentment and success for which we are searching. Our psychological selves stubbornly battle to avoid this perceived loss of free will and freedom. The irony is that once we let go and give in, our free wills and our destiny merge into the same thing. This is something no one can fully understand until the experience actually happens.
