Find your purpose for moms is a process for looking inward to discover what you feel is your unique reason for being alive right now. Moms work hard everyday from the moment they wake up until the time when they fall into bed at night exhausted from the activities of the day. The never ending flow of dirty dishes, dirty laundry and dirty bottoms can grow monotonous and the days can begin to blurr one into the next.

You love your children and you want to do your best to be the best mom that you can be, but you also have inner urges for something more in your life. You have questions in your mind about what your purpose is in this world aside from being the mother to your children and partner to your mate.

The great Yogic philosopher Patanjali, wrote the following about finding your purpose:

“When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all your thoughts break their bonds: Your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction, and you find yourself in a new, great, and wonderful world. Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive, and you discover yourself to be a greater person by far than you ever dreamed yourself to be.” —Patanjali

To discover your purpose you need to set aside some time when you will not be interrupted. Get out your journal or a piece of paper and a pen, but before you begin to write take a moment and quiet your mind. Focus on your breath and try to find the place within you where your true purpose lies waiting to be discovered. Begin writing down things that you have been successful at in the past, the things that bring you joy when you do them—the thing that you would do even if you were not getting paid for it. Is there anything that you do that puts you in ‘the zone’ where time seems to stop and you forget even to stop and eat? Write that down as well.

Here are some questions to encourage your introspection process:

What are you passionate about?

Who do you admire?

What are your strengths?

What gives you a sense of fulfillment?

What causes do you believe in?

What ideals do you steadfastly defend?

What is your vision for this world?

What is the one thing that you would regret not having done before you die?

After you answer these questions and any others that come to mind you should know your purpose. Now your task is to find the best way to make your purpose the center of all that you do. Author Alan Cohen said, “The purpose of life is not to fight against evil and misfortune; it is to unveil magnificence.”  What will you do to unveil your magnificence today? The world is waiting for you to discover your purpose and to live in it with passion.
