I think the charts can show your purpose/ destiny and that is one reason they are so powerful!

They say that everyone has a purpose, but is it really true? More and more i'm thinking that it isn't. The reason being is I look out into the world and see so many people just existing and going to menial jobs that they hate everyday just to collect a paycheck and get by. These are the types of people who probably don't have: the smarts/I.Q to solve the worlds problems or invent the new big thing, the looks to be a model, the charisma to be a politician, the musical inclination to sell records etc. they are just average people working average jobs living average lives. So is it some people's destiny to be a worker drone at a factory and make just enough to get by? Is that their purpose in life? IDK.... But I doubt it. But then you see people who have skills/talents from a young age and those talents enable them to make their mark on the world and be successful, one of my good buddies is a perfect example of this. The sad fact is not everyone has those obvious gifts that enable them to be successful and make a difference in the world. Could it be possible that some people get to have a purpose as a result of good karma in a past life while others are punished for bad karma and sentenced to live an empty existence full of pain,stress, and frustration? I'm just thinking out loud here. Sorry if i'm coming across as negative... I'm just feeling really depressed and angry right now.

I know this is a cliche and I would have been angry if anyone gave me this cliche before I found it in my own heart but I think you have to have something to give and you have to give it freely.

That really makes for happiness in the heart.

Everyone has something to give, too imo

Exactly!

Man I wish I was better with words. To get out what I'm thinking. It's so difficult.
I have allllllll this stuff going on in my head and I can't get it out.

But I know what you mean.

My whole life when I was in a depression, people would tell me the old cliche about helping someone else.

It really did not work.

It reminded me of a time a girl told me to get out of the house and take a walk and I would feel better.

It was the end of the friendship, not just for that reason but she did not understand what I was going through.

So, it is TRUE but applying it has to be from one's own heart seeing it, not the trite words of another person.


DF--message me on FB, too lol

(AG inspired this but it's to anyone)

Ok, I have something. I was just talking to Barbie and it came out. Now, I could probably go on and on and on forever but I'll just say a few things to convey what I'm tying to.

Example, if you're a janitor. Don't be a janitor who feels down on his luck and the bottom of the food chain. Be a janitor that loves life and tackles anything with a positive attitude. Spread love and kindness to those that you come into contact with. Anyone who is mature enough will recognize that. I know that when I go to a fast food place for example, (Commonly seen as "lower class"). Man... it really makes a HUGE difference if the people are friendly and I really don't mind giving it back to them in return. It makes a difference! These things to me are important, THE most important. Just be positive.
I work for one of the largest companies in the world and they DO promote people into Leadership. (They don't like the term management) What's MOST important to them for these roles? Attitude. If someone has the skills but is not liked and respected, does not have a positive attitude, they are not getting the job. They hold that criteria VERY high. You MUST have a great attitude.

Another thing. I can post this news story if I can find it. But last month I think it was, here locally. This couple went out to eat. The place was very busy and the service was really really terrible. In the sense that they had to wait forever and drinks not always refilled on time, etc. But the person serving them was really working hard and very kind. He was doing his best. Recognizing this, this couple, who had done this work while going to college, left him a $100 tip and wrote something like, "Just paying it forward. We've been there".
I mean, there you have a kid busting his butt, but with a good attitude. Then you have people who are upper-middle class, who also carry this positive attitude. The two met, and great things happened. Yes, I know it's not something that we see a lot. But we should. It doesn't matter if most people are not like this. It matters if you are. YOU, can change your life and the world that YOU live in. You can change the lives of the people that you come across. You can start making that little difference. Maybe someone else is struggling with a bad day, and then come across you with this big smile and positive attitude. Haven't you ever been on the receiving end of that? It's pretty awesome isn't it? It's refreshing. Be that refreshing person.
It'll change your life.

The other thing... recently I've thought, "Why do we say, 'THE meaning of life"? Maybe there's more than one meaning..? Maybe every day has a new meaning. Maybe, every person that you cross paths with is a different meaning. Maybe you accomplish that meaning and you move on to another, or are tackling several meanings together, like a big web of life. Maybe..... the meanings are whatever you want them to be. You know? Maybe it's only important that you find a meaning and one that makes you feel like you belong and that you're doing something important, but that the meaning is not set out before you.

I just think that if you start with yourself first and your outlook. Not the way that things are, but how you'd like them to be, and just begin with yourself. You can start to change your immediate world. You can feel great for doing YOUR part. So what if you don't do something great for the entire world, but if you do something for one person's world, one at a time, it's still a great thing to do.

Ok...
I'm all done.

100% agree. I don't have many friends in college but one of them is actually the janitor. She's the sweetest lady and I should be seeing her soon to have lunch. Nothing separates us but our own self-righteousness and self-centeredness. There is no class, race, or religion when it comes to kindness and respect.

AG, you are looking at destiny in terms of material wealth and worldly aspiration, instead of character wealth and spiritual aspiration. Destiny is a concept of soul. You can be a janitor but your destiny is to become one with the universe and indeed, you treat the surrounding world in that way.

You can be some CEO or model and still lack a sense of destiny. You can have all the riches in the world but still be depressed and suicidal.

We are a confused species. We've become so ego-driven that we fail to acknowledge what really is within the core of our being. Destiny is that which just had to have been. That is an awful explanation but that's how I see it. It is that thing inside you that relentlessly burns through all the layers of BS to come to the forefront and guide you.

Unfortunately, we keep extinguishing the fire and chase the $$$, we live in accord with laws whose aim is only to make one a unit that increases production output. Everything boils down to consumption. And, in the haze of this capitalistic madness, we forget that we are.

Your destiny is within you. It's not out there.

Aww...aquaguy91, you sound so sad. Chin up. I think everyone has their special purpose in life, but even the most menial of jobs need to be done in order for things to go smoothly. Dog poop needs to be picked up and toilets need to be scrubbed. Watch a season of Dirty Jobs with Mike Rowe and it's easy to see that in the game of life there are all kinds of sh!tty jobs that need doing. Baby diapers need changing. Cow manure needs spreading.

The cow (bos taurus) is sacred in many cultures, but cows are also referred to as beasts of burden. It is thought the cow became revered for its service and the many gifts and it provides to mankind, such as tilling fields, dairy products, leather, manure for fuel and fertilizer.

Sorry to cut short...I'll babble on more later, but I do have to run! Got plans this afternoon.

I apologize in advance for being baudy, but it is Saturday and I love the carnival, so I leave you with a clip from the movie The Jerk to cheer you up.

The Jerk (8/10) Movie CLIP - Navin's Special Purpose (1979) HD

Btw. In The Jerk, Navin was not the sharpest knife in the knife throwers drawer, but he did by happenstance actually wind up achieving material world success with his Optigrab invention for glasses.

Last Wednesday, I went to court with my brother. He was being sued over a loan he didn't pay. Long story. Anyway, I just went to lend moral support. The case should have been 100 percent dismissed due to the paperwork I helped him file. I expected nothing but a roll call and a dismissal. So, I was wearing blue jeans. I helped a guy from Mediacom win his case by telling him what to say while we waited in the hall for the courtroom to open. It felt good to be able to give advice. Well, much to my surprise, my brother's case was not dismissed. Apparently, the judge never got the paperwork, and he started the trial! I went up front with my brother, but there wasn't much I could do. The judge was about to enter a judgment against my brother, and I couldn't allow that, so I chimed in, "May I speak, your Honor?" He said, I could. So, I pulled out the contract and attacked it. The Plaintiff told the judge that I wasn't even an attorney, and the judge said, "Well, he's just looking out for his friend, so I will allow it." I said, "He's actually my brother, your Honor." And the judge said, "Even better." He practically allowed me to be an attorney! The more I talked, the madder the Plaintiff looked, and the more impressed the judge was. I told him I was going to law school in Fall 2015, and the judge said, "I can believe that!" I apologized for the way I was dressed, and the judge made his ruling. Of course, I won. Law school was always just a stepping stone for me until that moment. Then it became more. I was in my element. I'm usually nervous when I give presentations in school, but I wasn't nervous at all. I crushed it.

Congratulations.

I remember once when my ex-step-father-in-law helped my Mom out.

I've never forgotten it.

Good Man.

I think my life purpose is to simplify messages and make things easier/simpler for people to understand. To bridge the gap between segregated groups and/or polarised communities.

Can't be bothered to copy/paste but this is in response to what DF said.

I have always believed that our freedom and happiness can be found when we find "our spot" in the wheel of life. Meaning that we all have a place in the "system" and without us being in that specific spot, life wouldn't go around/spin.

Some of us are fast food workers. Work in grocery stores. Work on Wall Street. Sell cars. Are doctors. Walk dogs. And all of that is fine but what isn't fine is when we start to desire things that just perhaps are not meant for our place in the wheel.

So if we all try and be happy in the moment and desire less of the "other side" things might just work out for humanity.
