I just finished writing one of my Psychology exams and some things in it got me thinking and to add to that I stumbled on this post and it inspired me to write this post. It's true that human beings were designed to CREATE just look at kids build sandcastles or mothers holding their baby just after childbirth and you will realize this statement is true.
For some time now I have been wondering what exactly I was created to do. What steps I need to take to arrive at that goal. I am way above my age because according to Psycholgist Erik Erikson in his 'Stages of Development' my focus should be on forming relationships (intimacy vs. isolation). But, I am rather thinking like a middle aged person because its normally at that stage people start thinking less of themselves and more about how to impact others and set a legacy (generativity vs.stagnation). When I think about how fleeting life is and how vain it can be ; being born, growing up, having own kids and dying it prompts me that time is not really on my side. Thus, I have decided to write all creative ideas in my diary even when they seem more silly than creative because one never knows.
No one should suggest that I read the 'Purpose Driven Life' or any other book because I have read a whole lot of them. Maybe I should just go ask the manufacturer of the product (life) right? When you buy a gadget and try to assemble it but fail , you turn to the manual.. I think that is what everyone should do.
P.S Do not let anybody look down on you because you were created for a purpose go look for it.
P.P.S Also, if you are looking for a friend to help you in the search you can count on me because I'm searching too..
