Can you answer this question of purpose?

Question

Every moment in our life has purpose. No matter how insignificant that moment may seem at the time, it had a direct affect on someone, somewhere. Can you tell me of such a moment in your life when you could not see the purpose at the time, but realized it's affects later?

Answer 1

This is a dreary topic... but here goes:

I was sexually abused as a child. I've spent years and years trying to live... and finally feel like I am. For so long the hurt and (it sounds melodramatic) trauma seemed insurmountable... I would question constantly what it was that made me the one singled out for such treatment. I still don't have an answer to that question, but I now have a means by which I can help others. I am a teacher... and every kid that discloses to me gives purpose and meaning to my experiences. Perhaps I had to go through what I did so I could understand.

Answer 2

once i was cleaning my desktop and i ve cleared a file permenantly from the desktop. Within two days i came to know that the file was such an important one which costs almost our teams 5 months work. Luckily we were able to recover half of the work from a back up file.

Things kept adding up to my descision to get a divorce. His lies were too much to bear and sometimes I thought I was going crazy. Never had solid proof of his affairs and indiscretions, only suspicions. One by one people and circumstances kept showing up in my life leading me on my way. After I divorced I went through a time when I sincerely regretted it and thought I made a mistake. It was then that I found out that he not only had many affairs but fathered another child. Soon after our divorce he contracted herpes, with a woman he met while we were still married. Thank God I got out when I did, he could have brought it home to me, but for some good reason I was spared from that humiliation. I know it sounds complicated and it is, but I believe that God was on my side and wanted me out before it got worse.

Answer 4

Your situation is very similar to a Scrubs episode that was recently on. It explains how something as "insignificant as a butterfly flapping its wings" can change the course of a day.

I recently realized that if I had never met one of my very close friends, which I wouldn't have if I had been late to soccer practice the day I met her, I would never have the job I currently do.

Without my friend, I would have never met her friend, who introduced me to her boss, who I am now supervising. If I had not been late to soccer practice that day, I would not have the job I do today.

It sounds a little confusing, but I hope you get the general meaning.

I hope I was helpful. Good luck!

Answer 5

good question! But i think i need time to think over and answer!!...oh well, i attended a marriage reception of a friend with whom I had not been in touch for a very long time... guess what? after I attended the reception some friends of his came to know that i was hunting for a job and after a couple of days I got a job in his friends company which is now paying me more that 400% of what I was earning previously!!! (its turned my life around). This ought to be the turning point in my life....

Answer 6

I feel that every single day... of course, I get stressed of school and such so there's no telling what may have happened.

Answer 7

Meeting and interacting with people. I never realized how much one life touches others until I saw the movie "It's a Wonderful Life". It really made me think. And I found it amazing how much one solitary life can effect so many other people.
