You can find meaning and intention in everything! That’s what science does, it figures out why things exist, what is the intent of its design. Why do giraffes have long necks? They need them to reach the higher levels of vegetation that they require. What’s the function and purpose of a tree? They create oxygen, shade, and all kinds of other benefits to humans. Why do fish have scales? It all has an answer if we seek. You can figure out the intent and purpose of anything in the universe, including your own existence. If it seems like it has none, it’s just that you haven’t discovered it yet.
You were intended to be here, and not just to exist, but to offer your unique ideas, gifts, and creative energies. A tree serves a purpose, but so do all trees of its same kind. They serve their intended purpose in the universe. But you were intended to serve your purpose, and each human has a different purpose.
When you start to study yourself, your life and your circumstances, you can extract all kinds of beneficial meaning. Everything about you is intended. I’m not talking about everything that happens to you, but everything about your inner nature, your ability to reason, understand, and create. Getting in touch with that is your higher purpose in life because it is working through you in what you create with your life. We all come with innate desires, a need to advance and to develop, and a purpose to work out in this world. But the greatest purpose is to realize that the divine mind works in you. The intelligence that created you made you whole, unique, and free to express your special gifts in the world. Search within and you’ll find that it’s all there!
