Discovering and Fulfilling your life purpose must be the first priority in your life.
Having money, people, power and looking successful in life does not in any way mean you’re fulfilling your purpose for life.
It is possible to be rich and still be wretched in life. You could look successful but still be miserable. You will discover more on this as we continue this training.
One reason why many people are married and constantly unhappy in those marriages is because they chose a life partner that can’t fit into their life purpose and can’t help them fulfil it, and mostly because they themselves married without knowing their purpose in life.
Such persons could divorce or leave their marriage, only to remarry and have the same problem.
That is the situation with some of the people that move from one relationship to another and then conclude that all men are the same or all women are the same.
Sometimes, the problem is they themselves. They are constantly not happy with themselves and are looking for happiness in other persons.
So, once those ones can’t give them what they seek, they have problems with them and still have same with the next person.
The problem is not with those people, the problem is with they themselves, because they have not discovered or are nor fulfilling their life purpose, which is the only thing that can give anyone consistent happiness.
That is also the reason why some people constantly move from one church to another, one job to another, one environment to another accusing people they move away from of different sorts of things.
It is basically because they are constantly not happy from within themselves. Which is because they are not doing what they are sent to the world to do, they are not fulfilling their life purpose, why they exist, and so can’t be happy or feel fulfilled in life.
It is your fulfilling your purpose that gives you fulfilment in life, and fulfilment brings you inner satisfaction and constant joy.
So, the only way you can have consistent happiness is by fulfilling your life purpose.
It doesn’t matter whether you’re a clergy or a business person, it is the law of life and it applies to everyone.
In Lecture Number 2, you’ll discover things you might be constantly feeling or experiencing if you’re not fulfilling your life purpose.
Many people have committed suicide because life is miserable to them. Many people beat their wife or hate their husband not because of what their spouse did wrongly but just because they are never happy with themselves in life and can’t figure out the reason why.
It doesn’t matter who you are or what you have, if you’re not doing what you’re originally sent to the world to do you’ll keep having problems with yourself and as a result might keep having problems with people around you.
That’s why some people make others happy but are themselves never happy. Remember I mentioned that in our general introduction to this training.
There is a difference between happiness and fulfilment. Sometimes you make people happy and become happy at that time too, but once you leave those people you become miserable.
That’s because something is missing in your life. That’s because you’re not finding fulfilment in life.
If this happens, you’ll keep struggling within yourself and until you discover and start fulfilling your life purpose you’ll continue to have that problem without finding solution. And you’ll keep having problems with those closest to you too, even though you might look nice or behave nicely to outsiders.
That’s why you see many people having problems in their marriages and with their family, close friends, staff and coworkers, but outsiders keep thinking they’re the nicest people on earth.
That’s why you see certain persons having divorce after divorce, it is because they have not discovered themselves in life, and so they can never be happy for long because true and permanent happiness comes from being fulfilled.
That was what happened to a rich, famous and highly beloved American actor and comedian called Robin Williams.
Read about him below as copied from Wikipedia, with little editing of mine.
Robin McLaurin Williams (July 21, 1951 – August 11, 2014) was an American actor and comedian. He had two divorces in his marital life and died while married to his third wife.
Born in Chicago, Williams began performing stand-up comedy in San Francisco and Los Angeles during the mid-1970s.
After rising to fame playing the alien Mork in the sitcom Mork & Mindy, Williams established a career in both standup comedy and feature film acting.
He was known for his improvisation skills and the wide variety of memorable character voices he created.
Many critics have lauded Williams as one of the funniest comedians of all time. But, no one ever knew that he was never happy within. No one ever knew that he was constantly having inner struggles, except his wives and perhaps those closest to him, until he committed suicide in 2014, at the age of 63.
He lived that long making people happy but himself. His second wife cited irreconcilable differences as her reason for their divorce.
Williams featured in standup comedy, film, television genres observational comedy, improvisational comedy, physical comedy, political satire, self-deprecation, and surreal humour.
After his first starring film role in Popeye (1980), Williams starred in numerous films that achieved critical and commercial success, including The World According to Garp (1982), Moscow on the Hudson (1984), Good Morning, Vietnam (1987), Dead Poets Society (1989), Awakenings (1990), The Fisher King (1991), Patch Adams (1998), One Hour Photo (2002) and World’s Greatest Dad (2009), as well as box office hits, such as Hook (1991), Aladdin (1992), Mrs. Doubtfire (1993), Jumanji (1995), The Birdcage (1996), Good Will Hunting (1997) and the Night at the Museum trilogy (2006–2014).
Williams was nominated four times for Academy Awards, winning Best Supporting Actor for his performance as psychologist Sean Maguire in Good Will Hunting.
He also received two Primetime Emmy Awards, six Golden Globe Awards, two Screen Actors Guild Awards, and four Grammy Awards.
But despite all these, Williams committed suicide in 2014 at his home in Paradise Cay, California, at the age of 63. His wife attributed his suicide to his struggle with a disease.
Knowing and living your life purpose is the most important thing in your life. If you want to have a happy and successful life and marriage, not just known for it but truly having it, this is the first thing you must do. Help your partner too do same.
