For
some unknown reason, we seem to have adopted the wrong interpretation of the Law
of Purpose. Somewhere down through the
centuries, we came to believe that our purpose in life was to come here and
make this world a better place. Tied to
this central theme was the idea that your role in making this world a better
place was to get an education, get a job, and contribute to society.
Success
in this definition was defined by that which was on the outside. We were fulfilling our purpose in life if we
had the physical trappings dictated by society.
Now there is nothing wrong with having things but when our focus is
purely on the outer manifestation it takes us in the opposite direction from
the original meaning of the Law of Purpose.
It is a direction that takes us away from our innate inner guidance.
