Does Your Life Lack Meaning?
Finding Purpose Beyond Success
Vera came to me for counseling after her doctor suggested exploring the emotional roots of her chronic fatigue. Outwardly, Vera had everything: a successful career as a stockbroker, a loving marriage of 18 years, financial stability, and a supportive circle of friends. Yet, each morning she faced fatigue and depression.
Similarly, David sought my assistance to address his perpetual feelings of emptiness. Despite being successful in his manufacturing business and having a fulfilling family life with a supportive spouse and two adult children, David struggled with inner voids that led him to overeat, overspend, and indulge in online pornography.
Both Vera and David were professionally accomplished, yet their work lacked personal meaning. They worked for financial gain, not passion. Neither could identify what truly mattered to them, admitting they never experienced a sense of meaning throughout their adult lives. This emptiness and depression had troubled them since their teenage years.
During my sessions with Vera and David, it became clear that both had learned early on to suppress their feelings to escape the acute pain of loneliness. Vera's emotional withdrawal stemmed from the contradictions in her relationship with her mother?"expressions of love that felt insincere and draining. As a sensitive child, Vera chose to safeguard herself by living from her head rather than her heart.
David, also sensitive, similarly suppressed emotions due to the emotional distance of his parents and social rejection from peers.
Even as adults, Vera and David remained disconnected from their emotions, fearing the pain of loneliness?"a common yet often unrecognized human experience. Loneliness arises when our need for connection isn't met, whether due to closed hearts or unavailable companions. From feeling a twinge of emotional pain, many quickly turn to addictive behaviors or substances, avoiding pain but also inadvertently excluding joy and purpose.
Emotional numbness kept Vera and David from experiencing joy or understanding what gave their lives meaning. This repression fueled their depression and sense of emptiness.
Imagine your emotions as an inner child. Ignoring this emotional self can lead to feelings of abandonment, resulting in anxiety, depression, and inner voids. Our emotional self holds the key to understanding our passions and purposes. We arrive in this world with a deep-seated purpose needing expression; failing to express it leaves us feeling empty.
Learning to handle loneliness is critical for discovering your passion and purpose. This management requires a deep, personal connection to a spiritual source of love and wisdom?"far beyond the capabilities of the mind alone.
You'll uncover profound life meaning when you choose to embrace and learn from your loneliness rather than suppress it. This openness comes when you feel supported internally by the love and wisdom of a spiritual guide. By welcoming Divine Love and your emotions, you'll find the fullness, joy, passion, and purpose your soul deeply desires.
