Rarely do you wake up one fine morning to realize your true purpose.

Often it is the result of weeks, months, or even years of painstaking introspection and self-analysis. Difficult and probing investigations into your own mind, psyche and emotions. Startling and shocking revelations about hidden demons, glorious talents and delightful desires.

The flash of insight, when it hits, is so delightfully illuminating, you may find your heart singing and mind racing with possibilities when you discover your purpose.

And then again, it may just take the form of a quiet, comfortable awareness about your role in the magnificence of the Universe.

How it happens has little to do with the power of knowing what your purpose is - or the clarity and confidence with which it lets you continue along the journey to fulfill your destiny.
