Enneagram Type 4 Board Archive Re: regarding our purpose in lifePosted by Cecil on September 10, 1999 at 20:13:35: In Reply to: Re: Thanks, all ;-) posted by Summer on September 10, 1999 at 16:30:14: : Everyone, you don't know how helpful this has been. Thank you so much : Ev, I'm printing out your words & bringing them home this weekend to remind myself. They are wonderful. Thankyou. : You are right about this hard time obscuring the way I look at everything else. I have done this for as long as I can remember. As soon as I get a bad blow in life, or a couple of bad blows at once, everything looks black & hopeless to me - so very, very black. The pain is so intense, but your right, it doesn't last. By tomorrow, I will be feeling better. And the day after that, a little better even. : But the 'purpose of life' thing does not go away. I just need a goal, a direction, to make me feel worthwhile. I feel a bit lost & it's been for some time now, where my career/purpose in life is concerned. Me, too. I've come to decide that our ultimate purpose in life is to keep it moving forward, little at a time, with an eye towards improvement, miniscule as they may seem, it's still worthwhile. I think us iNtuitives struggle with the 'whole life purpose' issue much greater then Sensord. They seem to not care about, think aboutt, nor seem to be as easily 'affected' by this issue as we are. I also find the answer lies in their answer. To do something great is to live day by day, improving thworld at large amking our lives and others better at large only piece by piece little at a time, starting with whatever is right in front of us. I hope this helps. Sometimes we iNtuitives get our idealistic expectations up so high and unrealistic, we feel horrible when we haven't met them, despite the fact it was too inhumanly impossible to meet them in the first place anyway.
: I just have to keep plugging away, I guess. Though boy, it ain't easy, is it? ;-) : Everyone have a wonderful weekend, & I'll try too - -- - You, too, Cecil
