One of the reasons I use the word purpose is that we as women have tremendous trouble with the word service. Let’s face it what women in her right mind wants to willingly chain herself to the post of servitude after spending years breaking free of the shackles of the subaltern stereotype? The word purpose however feels and sounds more directly about self and where we are going rather then how we assist others. Self first others later is still very true. As Dr Wayne Dyer points out in his book the power of intentions ‘you cant be poor enough to help the poor, you cant be sick enough to heal the ill’. But whether we use the word purpose or service the point is we all serve something higher then ourselves. Our purpose on this physical plane is without question intrinsically linked to our service to source. Some of us know and identify and name this source, it may be God, Buddha, Goddess, Creator or Universe, and some of us do not. Either way we know we are part of something bigger then ourselves. Let me give you an example, if your purpose in this life is to teach then your service is that of knowledge. It is your service to source to impart what you know in order to assist others in their purpose. If your purpose is that of a healer your service is to offer the tools of self healing to others so they can perform their service to source also. If your purpose is to clean and clear then your service is to provide spaces of uncluttered energy. Every one of us has a purpose, no matter how small we think it is; in the scheme of creation without you we would see the big black hole.
