For a Wise and Glorious Purpose....

Proposed in the lyrics of "Oh My Father," written by Eliza R Snow, is the idea that for a "wise and glorious purpose," we were placed here on earth. I think the word "placed," is a key word in this idea. We were not dropped down to earth, not thrust down to earth with a faint "good luck finding your way back up here!" yelled at us as we fell. So if we were placed here for a purpose (a wise and glorious one at that) what's the purpose? WHO KNOWS! Not me. Probably not you(but kudos to you if you do) and you probably think my next sentence will say something along the lines of "well go out and find your purpose!" Not quite. I'm not saying you shouldn't be putting yourself out there and searching for a way to positively impact this planet, but if you were sent here for a purpose, I'm entirely convinced that if we can just try our best to be be the best that WE can be, that IS our purpose. Side effects may include huge accomplishments, or small achievements. In fact, I really think few, if any will "find our purpose." I do think, however, that every single person will be able to look back on our existence on earth and realize that we were here to ____. Fill in the blank. Whether your purpose in this life, (or more accurately your placement in your exact life) is to cure cancer, or simply to be a friend to someone who has none, it is the same. We are where we are because only we can do what we can do. I don't think you can "find" your purpose, but rather you can realize that your purpose is everything you're doing today, and everything you've done in the past and everything that you ever will do... and believe that it's wise and glorious.
