Fascinating way to apply a feminine and masculine lens to purpose. Reminds me of Jungian concept of the animus and anima. As to your question, I don't worry about the purpose of life because its all a cosmic joke or tragedy. There is no purpose to life than the one you create for yourself. After acknowledging that it becomes more of a game of discovering what motivates you and what you value than one of seeking a specific goal or accomplishment. My current purpose is to learn how to share this wonderful divine being that lies within. I recently discovered I am Autistic and have ADHD and its life changing. For decades I thought I was wrong, a failure and a burden to others and now I have the validation that no, I was not wrong in thinking I was different. My strengths are not valued by society but are valuable to society. The world wasn't built for people like me but in that lies my ability to give back. My goal now is to have fun by learning the skills I want to create the amazing ideas I have. I have a lot of skills to learn and fears to overcome but I have never felt more hopeful and excited about the future. Really enjoying the videos you've created. I hope that you feel good about your accomplishments.

This brings up some things that I want to think on, especially the masculine doing versus feminine being. Having a purpose is something that my therapist brought up at one time and after thinking on it for a long time I honestly don’t feel like I have a purpose. I don’t feel like anyone does. I think that humans think really highly of the human species in general and are always looking for some sort of higher purpose or reason that they are here, etc and I really don’t think that there IS a purpose or a reason that humans are here. I think that it’s great if other people feel like they have purpose. I am sure that it is fulfilling to feel that way. I don’t, though.

I do think sometimes we may put too much pressure on finding a purpose. I think for a long time I thought of finding a purpose as committing my life to one grande thing, and that I had to find "the right choice". But now I think I'm reframing purpose just to be something I'm focusing on🤷♀️ I guess something that I can come back to if I ever feel a little lost or ungrounded. I think I agree with you that I don't really know or think there is a reason for all of this, but I think it's fun to make one up for ourselves. After all, a lot of things about life are more fun when you make them a game haha. Thanks for the comment my friend, good to hear from you as always 😊🌻 take care!

What a beautiful “challenge” per se, to work on being ever present and receptive in as many moments as possible. I’m going to work on that, rather than wearing my AirPods and tuning out during errands and chores. I completely feel seen with the whole “purpose is attached to performative action and/or productivity & results” all of which are super masculine and not in alignment with our natural feminine nature. Lately I’ve been making it a point to prioritize rest and listening to my body and treating myself with grace. 💕 Thanks for posting this video! I loved it and I’m a new sub!

Oh yeh, catching myself when I'm tuning out is very much something I can relate to . It's so easy to get distracted or go on autopilot!! I love that you're prioritizing self-rest. Such a strange thing to relearn how to see rest as valuable. I'm glad you found this little corner of the internet my friend!! Thanks for the comment, take care out there!!😊🌻

I think over the years I’ve found my “purpose” is a dance between my masculine and feminine pushes and pulls. To sustain livelihood, there are certain creative careers im aiming for (masculine) in hopes of attaining a life close to spirit and my being drowning in passion and vision (feminine). I want to be a beacon of light for others (feminine) so that inspires me to do random acts of kindness (masculine / action). My feminine pushes inspire my masculine pulls, and vice versa.

this made me think a whole lot... ive been in a pretty negative space for a while now and you touching on purpose is very relevant. i'm autistic so it feels like the world is so pressurized for me, so when you said that this masculine energy to Do and Provide is paralyzing especially as a main factor of our society, it really really resonated with me. it felt like someone finally put it into words... almost a refreshing feeling! its hard to put into words how this has made me feel but just know that it has helped me to process some of my being (8 im in a bit of a rough place with managing myself and my aspirations and dreams because im falling short just because of material issues like not making enough money at my job to move out, and thus feeling like a burden on my parents. especially because im 22... but i really would like to start seeing the world less bitterly, because the vibes all around me lately have been super duper negative, so im glad i found your podcast when i did! i first found you a while ago with your hippie scent routine because i was looking for some fellow hippies, and im glad i came back! sorry this is so long lol but you have such positive energy 🌞 kudos!

super interesting topic! I’d say I more use the action of doing when I want my life to feel more productive and fulfilling & more lean on the act of just being when I need to slow down. It’s definitely a balance I use to my advantage and keeps me going everyday while still having my own initial purpose in mind. Also lastly, my purpose stays generally the same as i grow throughout life, but it really only changes when I have to change a certain action i will make for the time being due to new circumstances/ challenges be present. Hope this makes sense! 🤎

I have an interview tomorrow morning for a job that wasn’t really my first choice but one that now seems like my only chance… I’ve definitely been struggling with asking myself what my purpose is and it always seems to be career focused which is so draining! I’m glad I watched this tonight, I don’t have an answer yet for what my more internal purpose is but its definitely something I’ll carry with me to ponder now. Thank you for your sweet calming and caring videos you’ve been brightening my days lately since I found your channel in early October, thought you should know ❤

Awe man, it's always tough when life choses things for you... buttt, I also like to believe that even if we don't want to keep something around forever, there's always something it cab teach us while it's around (if we're open to it and let it do so). Best of luck in the interview tomorrow!! They're always a little nerve wracking haha. And thank you for the sweet words, I seriously love hearing comments from the people behind the views on my videos🤗 glad we could connect my friend, thanks for letting me into your world n sending me a lil message!! Take care🌼❤️

This year has been a year of burgeoning spirituality for me. What you said about a collective spirit of the Universe is exactly how I've come to view the world around me. That's really cool to hear someone else speak to my own interpretation of existence 🥹 Your thoughts on purpose are really beautiful. It's definitely giving me lots to think about! I'm really glad I came across your channel (this video was very apropos, and I always take these kinds of things as messages from the Universe) 🥰

Oh, isn't it the weirdest thing when you hear people sharing their experience and it aligns so closely with what you feel?😂 I mean I'm sure we've all taken these ideas from somewhere but I always think it's such a cool feel of knowing + recognition nonetheless :)) and I'm glad we found each other! It's so neat to be able to connect with folks all over the place. The universe doesn't play dice... but even if it does, it's more fun to think that everything that comes to us is what we need + what is meant to be. Nice to meet you and thank you for the comment😊❤️

The feeling of trying to find purpose is heavy. Weighted. Opposition of freeing. Like I was given a role, but no one told me, and out the womb I’m pressured in time and in effort on said role that I don’t know exists. When you said doing is associated with masculinity i related bc that feeling of “I have to do this”

I’ve honestly thought maybe there is not a purpose given by the universe but whatever I create it to be. So either thats a pressure on me in a way to be great or find what im supposed to be, but I actually like your take on it a lot. I think im gonna take what you said about experiencing human life, as well as adding passing on joy and love to others and thats a great purpose to have I like it. :)

I am a big fan of these little bits of "get inside my brain" type of videos🌻 I totally struggle with finding my life purpose! I agree with what you've said, it's such a massive concept that it's paralyzing >_< It's also very interesting to me, whose idea was to create even such a thing as a life purpose?! Especially since this idea is engraved into the kids' minds! I've never thought about my purpose, passions, or hobbies in the masculine and feminine energy division kind of way, but it makes so much sense :o I am rather a "give & take" kind of gal. I was always putting such a big burden onto my shoulders by asking myself "What can I create, produce, and give to the world?", but I've been trying to fight with it (and not feel crushed by such an existentially devastating question) by trying to slow down and try not to push these crazy expectations onto myself, and try to be human on this planet🌏. I've got enough on my plate without it :D. I don't think I've got a purpose but there are some things I'd love to do in the future, such as e.g. getting a yoga certificate, reading more (because I just enjoy it), I'd love to try creating a podcast but I don't want to do it on my own so I am struggling with finding someone else to do it with, trying to go abroad and doing some projects if I'll have the opportunity, and be more in tune with nature, don't feel pressured to do things I don't want to, just to people please others ✨

I love this comment! It's also just so strange to try and get to the bottom of where or when we even started thinking of purpose. Because honestly, it's not like my parents ever asked little me or even teachers. I guess it's just something that exists that we take on? Also, thank you for sharing the list of things you want to explore in this lifetime :)) so many lovely things to pull inspo from! p.s. What kind of podcast are you wanting to create?? I would love to know!

Great video! I struggle with the *being* instead of *doing* a lot although I have to acklowledge that I've come far when I am considering that I started from a place of deep internalized misogyny and here I am today, trying to connect more deeply with my divine feminine side and living my life from this side. I would think my overarching live-purpose is to learn. I'm not specifying because everything is learning. So in a way I see it like you when you say just experiencing, just being here is the purpose. At the moment I have a karmic lesson of learning to truly love myself and break a generational trauma of neglect and abandonment. It was a rough year and I've danced this dance with other people before but I never quite learned the lesson so it kept repeating every other year. I sure hope I learned it this time and am looking forward to more peaceful times.
