These are previous posts that have been dusted off, updated, and
freshly presented to an audience that’s never seen them. These limited posts
originate from the companion blogs I’ve written for the first two installments
of the Eternal Curse Series (40 Days and Nights of Eternal Curse & EC:
Battleground a Survival Guide).

This
book is all about finding one’s true purpose. It’s seems simple enough, but
it’s not.
Think
for a moment about everything in your life that seems to be in the way of you
being truly happy. Are the things that seem to hold you back impossible to
overcome or just difficult. I think that it’s possible for a person to be
successful in a career, happy in a relationship, and content with living a life
absent of petty or trivial drama, but still be missing something. There’s
always something that bothers them in the middle of the night, causing them to
wake up for no apparent reason. Just image what it’s like for everyone else
whose life isn’t so “together” as I just described.
I
think so many people wake up the middle of the night, not knowing why, because
their minds know something that they haven’t yet figured out. I believe most
people live their entire lives with no real purpose. Maybe they are
even perusing the wrong purpose. Finding one’s purpose in life isn’t an instant
ticket to lifelong happiness…so why bother with it. I think finding one’s
purpose is about experiencing peace, peace in a way that can’t be described and
that most people just can’t imagine.
Finding one’s true purpose is about living
your life in such a way that happiness is a possibility, but mostly it’s the
reassurance that everything will be alright. It’s about being able to feel
like, no matter what happens, you’re still in control of your life and you
don’t have to sweat the small stuff. Once again, I know this sounds simple, but
it isn’t. A person may be able to stare in the mirror every morning and chant
their positive mantra that everything will be all right and not to sweat the
small stuff, but does that truly take away the natural feeling of insecurity we
have as human beings…I don’t think so.
Don’t
get me wrong, mantras are great. If you have one keep using it, until you don’t
need it anymore, however long that takes. In the meantime, maybe you could do
some soul searching and figure out if you’re doing what you were truly meant to
do. Figure out if you’re living the life that you were really meant to live.
Take it from Mira and Giovanni (the heroes of my book), that once you start
heading down that path of discovery, your life will never be the same, and it
will ultimately be for the best. Once Giovanni and Mira discover what their
true purposes in life are, their world doesn’t become perfect, but they do
experience an unmatched sensation of true peace.
