Aging Without a Purpose?

By on July 8, 2009

make your Heart SING!!What makes you happy? Does your job make you happy? What makes your heart sing? Knowing these, can be the key to living on purpose, instead of swimming upstream in constant struggle.

Knowing your true purpose is like having a compass that is always facing in the direction of your dreams. Not living a life on purpose can cause suffering in body, mind, and spirit, thereby causing you to age prematurely. In the book, Ageless Body Timeless Mind, Deepak Chopra lists the following as negative factors that influence aging.

  • Depression*
  • Inability to express emotions
  • Feeling helpless to change oneself and others
  • Living alone
  • Loneliness, absence of close friends
  • Lack of regular routine*
  • Lack of regular work routine*
  • Having to work more than 40 hours a week
  • Financial burdens, being in debt
  • Habitual or excessive worry
  • Regret for sacrifices made in the past
  • Irritability, getting angry easily, or being unable to express anger
  • Criticism of self and others

*Major

Getting your body clean will allow you to listen to what truly makes YOUR HEART SING, thereby helping you live a life on purpose and vice versa – Knowing your purpose makes it easier to take care of your body. Gone can be the days of feeding, medicating, or shopping yourself happy, not to mention far worse addictive (and often fatal) habits.

Make your work to be in keeping with your purpose.  ~Leonardo da Vinci~
