Hello, and welcome to this week's quick IQ episode, where we talk about insights and questions. And today we have a really great question from a listener regarding spiritual purpose and also love. And if there's a ultimate universal purpose that is common. among human beings. And so that said, let's go ahead and unpack this.
Now, her specific question was this, she says, some spiritual people believe the highest purpose of life is to love, and they believe that to love is about others. Basically, it's to give. Do you believe there is an ultimate purpose to life that is universal to all people? And do you agree with this definition of [00:02:00] love?
All right, so let's go ahead and unpack this. You know, first and foremost, as far as love goes, I would say that it's not necessarily our entire purpose to give love. Now, I would say, of course, that it. is important and it is part of our purpose because we all need love. Biochemically, we all need love. And an easy way to think about this is, you know, if you think about plants for a moment, plants require energy from the sun and, you know, do a process photosynthesis, they require that energy.
Now, I would say we as human beings, we require. And so I would say that, yes, we absolutely need to give love, but we also need to receive love. We need to feel love. And so I would say that is part of our existence, but I wouldn't say it's the whole picture, the whole purpose. Now, if we were to look at, [00:03:00] you know, as far as a universal purpose.
So that was part of your question is a universal purpose. What I would say is this. is I would say the easiest way to look at it would be to compare human beings to plants or trees. You know, if you think about a tree, what does it do? It continues to grow and if you think about it, it gives off oxygen.
And it takes in carbon dioxide. And so just its existence, it's giving off oxygen that fuels our lives. It fuels other animals just by being here and existing. It fuels. Other beings and it also takes in carbon dioxide, right? Now, what's beautiful is that human beings, of course, are the exact opposite. We take in oxygen and we exhale carbon dioxide.
And so we fuel [00:04:00] each other, which is beautiful. And I would say that that is part of our human existence as well. You know, this question asked about a universal purpose. And I would say as far as. A universal purpose that we all have is when we are in good balance here, that our job is to continue to grow and not necessarily physically, you know, we grow physically to a certain age, but then our job is to continue to grow spiritually, to transform, to manifest, to create a wonderful life and to continue to grow.
And as we do. Our purpose is to be in good balance with life. And so, you know, thinking about a tree again, that's exactly what it does. It continues to grow as it flourishes. It provides to life and it also receives from life and a healthy tree will do that in great balance. It's giving, and it [00:05:00] also is receiving, and it feels like it's natural state of being because.
It is. And so we, as human beings, if we come here and we're growing and we're transforming, beautiful. And our goal is to make sure that we are giving to life, but we are also receiving from life. In right balance, that's exactly what we want. And so, yes, we're giving love, but we're also receiving love. And even through our careers and what we do, if you stop and think about it for a moment, I mean, one person may love to work in technology and in doing so has fueled the rest of us.
Where we're able to communicate around the world with each other, which is beautiful, or another person may love construction and architecture, which gives us houses to be able to live in. And another person may love [00:06:00] farming and agriculture. Which is beautiful because then we're all able to eat. And so it's like we each have something that contributes to the whole.
Now, what can happen when we're out of balance is that can lead to illness. You know, if somebody just says, well, I'm just going to give, give, give, give, give, give, give, that can lead to a state of feeling depleted. And is not healthy for the human being. Or if somebody says, I just want to take, take, take, then people will end up in the same place.
It they'll end up in a place of sickness because it's not the right balance. Just like a tree couldn't just take in carbon dioxide only. Without then releasing oxygen. And similarly, we couldn't just take in oxygen and never exhale. And so ultimately we want to be in good balance in life in a variety of ways so we can flourish.
And that means, yes, absolutely giving love and feeling [00:07:00] love and receiving love. And then also whatever we're doing in life that we're not in a place of take, take, take, but we show up and we're happy. To give. To give and feel that give and also happy to receive. That's the beautiful flow of life. And that's what I would say all of our purposes, you know, and if you look at a forest full of trees, they give and receive and a beautiful group of human beings when they're in balance, they're giving and receiving, and there's a beautiful flow.
And so on a spiritual level, that's what I would say. Life. is about when we're in good balance is, is not just about giving love, but being willing to do both to receive it as well. So that's what I would say our general purpose is just all of us universally have together is that is growing and continuing to transform and continuing to [00:08:00] contribute to the world and also receive from the world.
And by the way, when I say contribute to the world, contributing, maybe contributing beautiful children, maybe contributing, again, technology or in the job that you do or farming or, or whatever that is, because we're all part of this bigger picture. And so that's today's message is absolutely that is just being in balance and thriving growing and feeling like you're in that space.
And so a few quick takeaways from today. Number one, if you feel like you're not receiving love, you know, make sure to feel as though you're giving love. to receive love. So that is one thing that you'll want to do because sometimes I'll see people who are in a state where they just really, really, really want to receive love and they're so hurt that they're a bit shut down.
And so in being shut down, they're not giving it, [00:09:00] which makes it also hard to receive it as well. And so that said, if you're in that space, I want to invite you start giving love and also be willing to receive it. So we'll call that takeaway number one. All right. So insight number two is this is making sure that you feel like you're in great balance with life, that you are giving and you are also receiving and that it feels good and that you're not in a place of just taking, you know, sometimes.
People will get in a state of fear where they're just taking from others, in which case that can lead to problems such as illness. Or, on the other hand, people feel like they just have to give, give, give to depletion, which can also lead to a state of illness. And so if you're in either one, I would invite you to look at that and really transform that.
And as far as taking, we should never feel like we're in a place of taking [00:10:00] from somebody else. Receiving is great, but if we're taking from somebody, then you'll definitely want to transform that because that can impact your health. So that's key insight number two and insight number three is. To make sure to value your contributions, value what you do.
You know, if you work in technology, great, love it and value it. And the difference that it does make in the world, if you work in fashion, if you work in construction, if you work in accounting, if you work in whatever you work in, to look at the big picture and look at the way that we all support each other.
And make sure to value you and value what you do. And I'm not saying that you need to do it for free, because really, when you stop and think about it, if each person is good at something different, where each person has a different skill to contribute, it's really [00:11:00] helpful for the big picture of all of us.
And so just bringing it back to appreciating yourself and what you do and seeing it as a contribution. And really, genuinely. Appreciating yourself. All right. So that said, that is today's quick IQ episode. And by the way, on that note, I just want to say, you know, in my life, in all of our lives, you know, the fact that we have housing and running water and food in the grocery stores and electricity and technology and automobiles and all of these things, there are so many human beings out there who.
All contribute to all of this to make our lives really amazing. And I just want to just say, I'm grateful. I'm so grateful for everybody, for everything that everybody does. And I think that the more we also look at our world from this perspective, the more we [00:12:00] can all appreciate. each other and not only that, but appreciate what we have as well.
So that's an additional insight for you is just exactly that is appreciating what you have and really appreciating everybody does for everybody. You know, the more we really feel this sense of connection and community and camaraderie, it just creates a beautiful feeling inside of all of us. that can fuel our health as well.
And so that said, you know, it has been such a pleasure connecting with you. I want to ask you to please do hit the share button on this episode, you know, share it with somebody you love, somebody you care about, somebody you don't even know, or somebody you just appreciating what they're doing to support.
Our world, you know, that too. So either way, sending it to somebody you love, because the more empowered and happy and healthy and loving that every single person is, the better this world is for all of us. You know, if everybody's [00:13:00] thriving. That's what we want in our world. And so on that note, I wish you a most happy and healthy, wonderful, fantastic rest of your day, thriving, loving, and living life to its fullest.
To its fullest. And so please do make it a wonderful rest of your day. I look forward to connecting with you on the next episode. We'll see you there.
