Dear steemians,It's been a while since I want to share with you an article about the differences between the Path of Life and the Life Mission.
Many people, both "expert" in the field of energy or personal development and other novices to the use of these terms are mixing brushes. Me first 🙂
But in 2015, following a seminar that changed my wife and me, our perception of the world and human existence, I understood these differences.
Maybe if you also ask yourself this kind of question, this article will help you to see more clearly.
The way of life

For me, the path of your ideal of life is simply the path you must take in your life to contribute to YOUR personal evolution.
Contrary to what some people think, especially in "personal development" and another culture of the ego, the way of life is already "written" (in the most beautiful way for each of us), the same way your 100,000 trillion cells are programmed to work together and make this incredible machine that is our body work.
If you go through your life path then you will reach a great enjoyment of life.
BUT ... With your free will, you have the choice to follow it or not.
However, it is not always easy to know if you are on the road or not. Especially if you are like most humans, under the influence of your ego,I was in the grip of my Ego for many years and I managed to regain control. Because in simplicity you will always find authenticity. Read the article here.
Just like the phrase, "All roads lead to Rome", there are many possibilities to walk the path of your life's ideal. Which is itself composed of an infinite possibility of exciting experiences that can happen to you by browsing it.
According to the degree of personal evolution, each of us crosses the path of his ideal of life more or less often. These often short and intense moments make us feel a lot of joy, pleasure, compassion and unity.
But it's very rare and the Ego quickly takes over, to prove that it also exists and quickly divert attention.
You know, that little voice that monopolizes your creative thoughts and that says:
"I can do it too"
"I deserve better than that"
"His thing is bad, he thinks he's better than the others"
"For the price I pay I deserve the best"
"He / she owes me respect"
"I'm the boss / husband / chef, it's me who decides"
"I am an artist (or other), I am apart"
"I am a senior executive (or other), I am not anyone"
"I'm not like him or her, I'm worthless (or I'm better)"
"I'm bad (or I'm the best)"
"I will never do ... (or it's easy I know how to do it ...)"
etc ...
Everyone has already heard this inner voice. Well, it's your Ego. The Ego triggers wars, creates weapons, conflicts. But it also does damage to compare with others, to devalue or overestimate.
The Ego leads humans to live mostly in the past and live a life often sad, or to live in the future and live a life often violent, in competition, obsession and paranoia.
I will have the opportunity to develop this in a future article because I deviate from the subject.
So, to summarize this first part, the path of life, is an already written course that you must walk to enjoy life and live a beautiful life (not the one you imagine, or that of the "others" that you covet, but the one that was specifically planned for you).
And to go through this path of life, you must become aware of this unity and banish your Ego. It is thus a personal work of a whole life which must allow humanity to pass to a higher stage of its condition of life.
The Mission of Life

The mission of life, meanwhile, is subject to several interpretations. Especially among the "experts" in personal development who overuse this term by giving it a meaning that glorifies the Ego and ultimately has nothing to do with its definition.
For example, having to find what you are doing on earth and flooding your talent with the world to leave a "trace" of your passage on Earth.
If that's not the expression of the Ego ...
As a result, most people lost in their lives are looking for their "life mission" because a pseudo personal development expert told them to look for meaning in their lives and that they should help the whole world :-))
This important mission they would invest for humanity.
It is a boon for the Ego that will influence them on all kinds of signs, beliefs and interpretations. Each time, they will think that it is their mission of life and once the Ego is satisfied, they will be lost again. Then go back in search of the sign that will make them believe that they are the elected for this or that "vocation".
QUESTION: Why do you think that taking part in a personal development course provokes for most of the participants only a brief moment of pseudo happiness and energy, then everything falls back into the everyday?
It's simple, this type of internship only satisfies the ego and prevents a real fulfillment in the long term. Because everything is based on the culture of the "all-powerful self".
My interpretation of personal development is therefore only the search for the satisfaction of the Ego. And by the way, it's fun to hear some "experts" explain that life is a fight where you have to fight to exist and "succeed".
That's what I thought before ... Now I understand that it is rather in the simplicity that there is authenticity. And that it is by being authentic that it is possible to live in the present moment and enjoy life. Life is not a fight. On the contrary, it's a pleasure of everyday life.
It is for this reason that I prefer to use the term Personal Evolution and not use the term "Personal Development". Because every human being must not develop his "self", but make him EVOLVE, which is totally different.
So, to conclude this 2nd part, the mission of life, is not the accomplishment of something of which you would be the hero of a film or the elected one, of which only YOU, can accomplish this task 🙂
The mission of life is in fact the same for all human beings.
(and yes !)
It's about living in unity rather than separation as the Ego pushes us every day to believe and do. Separation occurs when "I feel superior" or "different" from what exists. But it's totally FALSE.
Just as our cells are assembled to form a whole like our body.
Every human being also bathes in a "big everything". And as long as every human being is not aware of that, there will always be wars and conflicts that are influenced by people eager for POWER to satisfy their Ego.
The mission of life of the human is therefore to become aware of this unity in which everything is bathed in it and to walk towards the harmonious practice of our senses on a daily basis to serve this unity.
The place of the human being is very fragile nowadays and to maintain its legitimacy to continue to participate in evolution, it must become aware of this unity because ...
Otherwise, just like the dinosaurs, it will be wiped off the map and give way to something else. Because nothing will prevent the "big everything" (give him the name you want) to continue its evolution.
For this not to happen, if you want it, you do not need a "savior" as described in all these evil religions (although there is between the lines, the foundations of Life), but simply that every human being, in his daily life, feels this unity and lives in harmony with it.
Because the whole secret of life, happiness and personal evolution is already in each of us. Just learn to open your eyes and silence that little voice (our Ego) that tries day and night to control us.
To summarize this article, you must know how to distinguish these two terms and make them dance together.
The path of your ideal of life is one that will make you happy and guide you to full development. The mission of life is the one that will allow you to walk on your path of life.
Obviously, it is very summary and I have many anecdotes to share on the daily life that demonstrate the subject of this article. I will have the opportunity to share with you all that.
