True Purpose
I vaguely questioned the purpose of humanity as a whole in one of my posts, but how about a more personal question: what is my purpose?
How many of us have discovered our true purpose? Something that would make our lives matter, our personal contribution to this world.
"You can be whoever you want!" - we hear when we are children. Maybe... But is who we want also is who we are meant to be? Many, many years pass ... and sometimes we end up being who we can be vs. who we wanted to be, not even trying to figure out who it is we are meant to be and what our personal purpose is. What happens when the Universe, God and the Spirit of it all are not aligned with our new found purpose of being as we are?
Being a naturally positive person I have been able to find positives in many uncomfortable situations throughout my life. I would blend in, adopt and survive. What I'm doing right now, writing this blog is not me and it's not who I ever wanted to be. I prefer to stay in the shadows, be behind the curtains encouraging others to be better. I always considered myself to be a moral support character. I like watching people succeed, I enjoy when people are happy and I love people that love life.
Over a year ago I concluded that maybe my purpose is to raise my children, give them a forever home and teach them all I know about life, so they can avoid my mistakes and become better than me. With that purpose in mind I made some uncomfortable decisions to get me to what I thought was my goal.
Life has an interesting way of turning us: if you are too busy for personal development - it'll slow you down; if you are too comfortable on your couch it'll find the way to get you up; and if you are going in the wrong direction - it'll make you turn. Sometimes it'll make you turn several times to try to show you the way, sometimes it'll feel like you are moving in circles all because you have to see something you are not yet seeing.
Unfortunately bad things do happen to good people. It is not a matter of punishment but the matter of growth. Would anything change in the world if we would all remain comfortable? We inspire each other when we overcome great suffering, we inspire each other when we learn to forgive and we inspire each other when we stand up for those who are too afraid to stand up for themselves.
The bullies of our generation do not look like the bullies from the past: they are polite, they are vindictive, coercive and deceiving; they have learned to humiliate others while making everyone think they are doing what they are doing with the intention to help.
So...
Is it my true purpose to be a mother to my children? It appears that it is not. I am unable to raise my children without interruptions, I am unable to share with them who I am and what I know, the knowledge I try to share gets undermined, their love to me is hanging on biological string of attachment and I may or may not get to be with them in the future.
What did all these DFPS experiences lead to? A lot of free time: time to think and evaluate my life, my relationships, my friendships, my mistakes and accomplishments; and a lot of continues pain - not knowing what's going to happen next, uncertainty in the future and inability to share my love with my children led me to start looking for the answer to "Why is it so easy to take my children from me?".
The question I found the answer to: because all DFPS needs to start the case is an allegation in combination with the words "in the best interest of the child". Is it my true purpose to drive people to wake up and change this law? I don't know if I am significant enough to make that happen. But is it my true purpose to tell people that there is a flaw in Texas Law that is destroying children' and parents' lives?
One thing DFPS doesn't know about me, possibly because they are so busy trying to make me into a victim all these years... is that I was NEVER AFRAID TO STAND UP TO A BULLY.
I do not need to fight anyone to promote and inspire change!
Stand up for your rights and promote DFPS reform. Promote my blog. Share these pages. Help me help parents and children stay together. Even if it's too late for me - it is not too late for a change.
Enough is enough!
