How to find the right path. Your life path: numerology knows about our mission on Earth. What will it give

Life is not a simple biological phenomenon; rather, it can be called an individual socio-historical fact, the reason for which is that every living creature on Earth grows and develops. But here, too, a person is distinguished by an additional feature - he is also formed as a person, has his own claims, dreams, values, aspirations, achievements and his own worldview.

Achieving delivered goals, the individual makes his way in this world. However, not everyone is able to experience this joy and understand what their calling is. Many people live aimlessly, without asking themselves the most important question: how to find the right path in life?

Let's try to figure out what is the reason for such indifference, and what will help in determining our own importance.

To begin with, it is important to note the fact that human life is divided into five phases. Special attention This statement was made by the famous German psychologist K. Bühler, who found that the first two phases are entirely related to the search for one’s place in life.

He said in his research that the first phase lasts from 16-20 years, and is beyond the mission assigned to a person. This time is allotted for self-determination. The second phase begins after this period and lasts until the age of 25-35, when a person begins to look for himself in different fields of activity, faces obstacles, his own insecurities, realizes the responsibility for choosing a profession and determines what he really needs.

Problem of choice

Sometimes a person is confused and cannot find his own “I”, which constantly requires self-realization. This is exactly that case When you can’t sit back and torment yourself with failures, you need to act. And the first step is to eliminate the problem by finding out the reasons that led to the loss of life direction.

Psychologists believe that a person’s lost state is associated with the following circumstances:

• due to loss (loss of a loved one, status, job);
• due to the inability to change the situation due to any restrictions (health, financial barriers, etc.);
• due to the imposition of someone else’s opinion by relatives or close people (for example: “You will never become a writer!”, etc.);
• because you are completely satisfied with your comfort zone;
• if there is no main goal;
• with stunning success (mass recognition often results in dangerous depression);
• due to self-doubt (the reason for this: a lack of understanding that what is desired can be realized only through efforts) and fear (which can paralyze consciousness, including in defending one’s own beliefs).
• fear (can paralyze any attempts to defend beliefs, move towards a goal, or even expand your comfort zone).

Finding a calling

To understand yourself, you first need to listen to your desires, because desires are part of human nature. Often they are social in nature, but thanks to them, conscious activity begins. And constant thinking about an unresolved issue over time degenerates into the main goals of life.

If there is confusion in your desires, then you need to expand your sphere of interests, find new connections, try new things. The essence of one's significance may be beyond one's perception, but when a person covers By paying attention to areas that were previously closed to him, from a different perspective, he begins to determine what he needs and wants to realize it.

You also shouldn't limit yourself. Many people believe that effective work only bears fruit in one direction. It is not always so. Undoubtedly, there are goals that require “total immersion,” however, it is not necessary to spend all of yourself on their implementation. Psychologists recommend combining the main goal with others that take less time; they distract and are in perfect harmony with each other.

It will be much easier to find your path if you analyze yourself, imagining that “I” is a source of useful resources for completing a certain mission. To do this, you need to ask yourself the following questions:

• What can I do?
• What actions am I capable of?
• How far can I go in pursuit of the meaning of life?

Abilities are of great importance, since they are personality traits that determine the implementation of a plan, its implementation and success.

In order to come to the “point of self-realization”, you need to learn 6 important things about yourself:

1. Who am I? Where is my place in life? - in the answers to these questions lies the awareness of the spiritual nature of man and the function assigned to him.
2. What is the Mission of man on Earth? Why did I come into this world? - it is important to find an understanding of life on a spiritual level, that is, to determine what is destined.
3. What is my main goal? - what needs to be achieved, the reason for this, the desired result.
4. What are my values? - personal ideas, principles and beliefs that guide people.
5. What are my talents? - these can be abilities when something works out well as if by itself.
6. Personal characteristics - important Honestly admit to yourself both shortcomings and advantages (these can be personal qualities, character traits, genetic inclinations, desires, interests, etc.

When a person “puts things in order”, he will immediately understand how to choose the right path in life. It is also important to note that the answer here needs to be clearly formulated, since all elements of such self-analysis must be consistent with each other. Otherwise, different motivations will lead to internal conflict.

Numerology. Life path number

A numerological characteristic will help you determine your life path. After all, what is destined for a person is often hidden in his date of birth. Astrologers have long learned to reveal personal characteristics, goals and objectives, which they have conveyed to our time.

So, by sequentially adding the numbers of the full date of birth.

For example, date of birth is December 26, 1982.

Add it up:

• day: 2 + 6 = 8;
• month: 1 + 2 = 3;
• year: 1 + 9 +8 + 2 = 20 = 2 + 0 = 2;
• results obtained: 8 + 3 + 2 = 13 = 1+3 = 4.

Thus, the number that contains a person’s mission is 4.

Number meanings

Unit- a symbol of confidence. The owner of this number is a leader in everything. He is ambitious and independent, will always find a goal and will strive to her, not counting on outside help. His weak side is excessive self-confidence and errors in assessing his own capabilities. When choosing, it is better for such people to stick to what is most convenient.

Deuce talks about relationships with the outside world. Depending on how strong and harmonious these relationships are, well-being is expressed. The goal in life is to have perfect relationships with others. People of this number are friendly, sociable, compliant, and objective. Weakness is manifested in gullibility, uncertainty and inability to defend interests.

Troika. Mo It’s a brilliant number, bright, bringing joy. The owner of a three is a great storyteller and a pleasant listener. He is talented in almost everything and the reason for this is to tell people that life is beautiful. Such people need to try everything and choose according to their taste.

Four is, at first glance, an unfortunate number. But this look is superficial! This number is not about difficulties, but about hard work. The owner of a four does not get anything for nothing, but the satisfaction from achieving his goals is off the charts.

Not everyone succeeds in finding a foothold in order to turn the world upside down, but those with this number can do this, since these people feel a lot and stay close in hope. They are sincere, reliable, characterized by resilience, but are often dissatisfied with their current life, because it seems to them that everyone around them is lucky, and their fate has deprived them of this, but this will not prevent them from achieving their goal, because such people are “masters of their destiny” .

Five- a parade of opportunities, a festival of interests and abilities. These are people who are full of enthusiasm and are constantly in move, they like to take risks and know how to get away with it. Their calling is to travel and communicate with different people, which will undoubtedly bring benefits and pleasure.

Six- this is balance in everything: in relationships with people, material well-being, talents. The owner of a six strives not only to receive, but also to give, has the abilities of a two and the talents of a three, however, he receives the greatest satisfaction in the family.

Destiny sevens- aspiration, research, solitude. Exactly this mysterious number. Its owners are mysterious people, very intuitive, striving to understand everything mysterious (phenomena, spirituality). Seven is capable of achieving enormous success in religion and mysticism.

TO eight are complete materialists. Their motto is: “What I don’t know doesn’t exist.” They don't believe anything and demand proof for everything. These are strong-willed, decisive, responsible and fearless people, whose level of demands is not only on themselves, but also on others.

Nine reflects in the owner of this number service to people and the main problem here: learn to serve them without demanding anything in return. These are people who have great potential, unlike others, who follow the path of self-improvement and share their experience with others.

The main difficulty of the Nine is that it cannot resist everything in relation to the general culture, which only does what dominates the concept of immediate exchange, even when you are infinitely generous. Therefore, it is important for such people to learn not to expect immediate gratitude, because they may be haunted by the same thought that the main target not achieved, and all efforts were in vain. This means that not everything has been done, and the person has not fully realized that he has already been given a lot.

Number eleven has strong intuition and the ability to use her internal reserves, which are not so accessible to other people. The task of the owner of this number is to make important discoveries that will move forward everything that is on Earth. These are people with well-developed extrasensory abilities who receive some kind of insight (information) from above. They have the ability to lead people and, thanks to their powerful intellect and unusual worldview, see phenomena and events from a different angle

By developing and improving their own abilities, which will be aimed at service and creation, such people have the knowledge of how to enlighten humanity. But if the owner of the number was unable to realize his mission as the number eleven and manifests his essence in the fate of the two, this will only add to his characteristics well-developed intuition and charisma.

Twenty two- a number higher in essence than eleven. If eleven reflects enlightenment and carries constant new ideas of enormous proportions, then twenty-two brings new projects into the world and implements them.

Here it is necessary to note outstanding abilities in all areas of human feelings and knowledge, the ability to create and implement the most ambitious plans that can change the lives of almost all people.

The mission lies in a deep awareness of existing opportunities, the ability to implement and control them.

If this number manifests itself in the life of its owner more like the meaning of the number four, then fate enriches him with the necessary desire for his own improvement and forces him to work tirelessly on himself, and also increases his demands on himself.

People often ask me to look at their Soul path, their mission on Earth. Of course, you can simply ask for this information by talking with the person’s Higher Self, his Soul.

But if a person is not ready to embark on his Path, then this knowledge will not give him anything, it will be information only for the mind, so that he will continue to build his limited plan and worry that not everything turns out as he planned, as he wanted.

If you had told me three years ago that I would have a wide variety of abilities and I would run my own website and help people, I would have answered that this was simply impossible - I was so far away. My life changed 180 degrees when I began to live by Soul.

I took my path thanks to the fact that I simply trusted my heart, it called me to do a wide variety of things that made me happy and brought me real happiness, a fullness of life.

I read books about which my calculating mind said that they were useless and would not be of any use to me in life. But I wanted to read them, just like that... After reading, the realization came to me of why these books were given to me.

I began to talk with the subtle worlds and receive messages when my mind said that this was impossible, you cannot talk to someone who does not have a physical body. Some people insisted that I do not have the right to receive messages, since there must be a special mission for this, only a chosen one can do this, and you are an ordinary and simple person. But we are all Great Chosen Ones, every person.

I myself created my first website when the Soul called (this is an incessant quiet call, like some kind of “itching” inside) to share everything. The mind said that it is impossible to create a website without programming skills, you will never succeed, but the site appeared and worked. When you go your own way, help flies from all sides. The main thing is to walk patiently and calmly, without getting irritated by little things, and everything will definitely come.

The soul lives like this... It is free and light, it simply does what it likes most, what makes it happy, without fear of failure and endlessly enjoying the very moment of creation, without even expecting a result.

The path of the human Soul on Earth is always unique and incredible that the mind can never even come close and understand its essence, the mind cannot guess why you came here, why you incarnated.

The path of the Soul is always so unique that it is impossible to find a model, it simply does not exist on earth, not among people and nowhere. There are seemingly similar paths, but this is only an illusion; inside they are different and unique.

God is the great Creator. Why should he create duplicates when he can create the uniqueness and originality of everything, put his priceless “zest” into everything? He develops and expands through us - his wonderful creations.

All the beautiful creations of God are like a huge “puzzle” in which all the pieces are each of us. And if at least one is missing, then the complete wonderful picture will never come together, there will never be the full beauty and splendor of creation.

Each of us is very important, as he is an invaluable piece of the Creator’s “puzzle”; he creates a unified picture of life, a very exciting experience for each of us.

And in this life there is no place for pride, no place for competition, since each of us can do what the other cannot, but at the same time this does not alienate us from each other, but complements us, creating a single magnificent picture.

Each of us has come to reveal ourselves in our unique and unrepeatable creativity of the Soul, each has our own wonderful Divine potential and the world waits for this revelation every day.

Each of us came to become a beautiful and wonderful part of the great Creation, to be lit from within by the Light of the Creator and to become his likeness on earth, to manifest it in our deeds, the creativity of the Soul.

And it depends only on us: do we want to become this Light, do we want to open from within, to our unique and unrepeatable qualities, in order to present ourselves to the world, to become One with everything.

While a person lives only for himself, while he compares himself with other people, while he envies the experience of others, while he does not believe in himself as an invaluable spiritually gifted piece of the Creator, while he asks everyone: how should he live, is he doing the right thing and what should he do... - he will never become himself, will not reveal himself in his uniqueness, in the priceless creativity of his Soul.

Only complete freedom from other people’s opinions, from the limitations of the mind, when you completely and completely surrender to your heart and do what gives you the highest inner joy and happiness, brings you back to Yourself.

There is no need to think: what is your mission, why did you incarnate on Earth, what is your Soul path and what should you do in order to bring the highest Great Good to everyone... This is all life with a limited mind!

You just need to enjoy life, love it and live as your heart asks, even if your mind, your loved ones, all the people around, the whole world tell you that you are doing everything wrong. They will all see and feel your unique path later. The guiding star is always within!

Just trust your heart - an honest, loving, inspired, fearless, child-like heart. Do not confuse it with pride, with a violent and impatient ego that constantly expects results and is rarely satisfied with them.

The heart always leads calmly and easily, quietly and affectionately... It calls to do what brings the highest joy and happiness. The heart is not aimed at results, but enjoys creativity itself, life itself, being itself.

The path to your mission is not from the search for a limited purpose in your life or the search for the highest good for everyone, but from the simple joy of life, simple but pure, love, simple creativity.

It is they who, in the end, unexpectedly lead us to the full manifestation of God on earth, to the great Creation, to an important and necessary Path, to life for the benefit of all...

Live with your heart, feel its guidance inside, trust it, since it is through it that our Soul, God within us, speaks to us.

I wish everyone to feel their way and find their unique and inimitable purpose!

With love,

People often ask me to look at their Soul path, their mission on Earth. Of course, you can simply ask for this information by talking with the person’s Higher Self, his Soul. But if a person is not ready to embark on his Path, then this knowledge will not give him anything, it will be information only for the mind, so that he can continue to build his limited plan...

Human life is not just a biological phenomenon. This is an individual socio-historical fact. Because every living being grows and develops, but only a person is formed as an individual with his own worldview, values, aspirations and achievements, as well as direction. And, most importantly, with individual goals, plans, dreams and aspirations. By achieving and living them, a person goes through his own path in this world. But not everyone’s life turns out this way. Some don't even know how to find their way in life. And they exist aimlessly. This topic is often considered by psychologists who, with their advice and recommendations, can help people reach the purpose of existence and find their path in life. This is what I would like to talk about.

Beyond the path

First, I would like to note that human life is usually divided into five phases. The German psychologist Karl Bühler paid especially much attention to this. And the first phase, which lasts up to 16-20 years, is outside the life path. Because this period precedes self-determination. Such a young person does not yet have full opportunities, a profession and access to all the chances to prove himself.

Second phase

It usually starts at the age of 16-20 and lasts until 25-30. During this rather long period of youth, a person begins to try himself in various fields of activity, form connections with other people, and even look for a mate. At this stage, self-determination begins.

This is a person’s affirmation of individual positions in various situations, the formation of a worldview and values, as well as setting a guideline for self-organization. Most often, there are hopes behind it. Which in this case are associated with sketches of possible paths of life.

Obstacles

At the second stage, many are faced with confusion, uncertainty, fear and the unknown. Often, fears are associated with the fact that a person is aware of the responsibility that falls on his shoulders in connection with the life choices he has made. After all, he himself determines acceptable social norms, dominant guidelines, the most important values, and much more. For many people, this period drags on so long that they completely lose track of how to find their way in life and exist aimlessly day after day.

Problem of choice

If a person has been in a lost state for a long time and does not know why he wakes up every day, then he needs to act. It's best to start by defining your path model.

“Life as creativity” - this option is suitable for people with a penchant for experimentation. Those individuals who like to experiment with their destiny. Their life paths seem non-standard to people accustomed to the “usual” model. Which is called “life according to the rules.” This is the least successful model. Because a person who focuses on it follows the rules that are established by society, the authorities, and conventional norms. He lives according to the principle “the way it is accepted,” and not the way he wants. And when the feeling comes to him that he has wasted his years, it is too late. And the bitterness of regret at such moments is incredible.

For some, the “life as an achievement” option suits them. Everyone who chooses it acts as a “self-made” person. These are workaholics, pragmatists, careerists - all people who consider the time given to them as a valuable resource for realizing as many goals as possible that can ensure a better life.

I would also like to note the model called “life against life”. People who follow it are in a constant process of struggle. In the figurative sense of the word, of course. And most often the struggle is for social benefits.

Listen to desires

This is what a person needs to do first if he is thinking about how to find a path to a new life. Desires are part of our nature. They are individual and changeable, each with their own. But they are all social in nature. And desires, thanks to the conscious activity of a person and his thinking, sooner or later are reborn into certain life goals. Which determine the meaning of existence.

A person can determine the right path in life if he listens to himself. To what he wants. Strong desires always become goals, since they are a powerful stimulating energy for any human activity - be it creativity, business, or interpersonal relationships.

Absolutely every psychologist will tell his patient: “The path of your life is only your decision.” And he will be right. Only a person has the right to dispose of it. But there are still a lot of practical recommendations that can help you understand your aspirations and desires.

If a person really doesn’t know what he wants, then he needs to expand his scope of knowledge and range of interests. How? We need to start trying something new, previously unexplored. Often the path of a person’s life lies beyond the limits of his perception. And when he covers with his attention those areas that were previously closed from him, it is as if he begins to see his existence from a different perspective. An invaluable feeling of long-awaited certainty arises - a person finally finds what he has been looking for for a long time.

Psychologists also recommend not limiting yourself. Some may believe that effective work is only possible in one direction. Of course, there are goals that require “total immersion.” But you don’t need to spend all of yourself on its implementation. It is recommended to combine this goal with others that require less effort and time. As a rule, they are perfectly combined and harmonized.

Focus on knowledge and capabilities

It will be easier for a person to find the beginning of a path in life if he analyzes himself as a source of useful resources for his passage. What can he do? What actions is he capable of? How far can one go in pursuit of the meaning of life? Abilities play an important role in the process of passing through life. After all, they are personal properties that determine the successful implementation of one or another type of activity.

Abilities are our internal mental regulators that determine the possibility of acquiring skills, abilities and knowledge. Some of them determine the success of education and training, as well as the formation of personal qualities. Others are responsible for the production of new ideas and discoveries. Abilities are human resources that he must use in order to achieve his goals. Knowledge of their presence often helps to find the path to spiritual life. You just need to ask yourself one question: “What am I capable of?” and give answers to it. Perhaps the meaning of life will be hidden in one of them.

About values

Surely every person, accepting congratulations in honor of this or that event, has heard the following addressed to them: “I wish you to find your path in life.” Indeed, many are able to say this, but not everyone is able to support a person’s choice. Because there has always been and will always be a conflict of values.

And the path of life is determined by them. Because a person can find happiness only if there is something meaningful in his existence that can satisfy his diverse needs. And nothing else. A person for whom independence, absolute freedom and entertainment are of primary importance will not be completely happy if he burdens himself with family, children and responsibility towards them. And vice versa. Anyone who most dreams of a big, friendly family will not find happiness if he disappears for days at work.

So what are we talking about? That when determining his life path, a person should focus not only on desires and opportunities, but also on values. They are a component of his soul.

Forecasting

If a person does not know what he wants and believes that he is in a hopeless situation, then this is not so. You just need to approach the solution from a different angle. And answer yourself the following question: “What don’t I want?” As a rule, people find answers to it faster.

Only they need to be specified. It is clear that the majority will answer: “I don’t want to live my years aimlessly.” But what exactly is included in this statement? Everyone has something of their own. Some people don’t want to be lonely in their old age. Others do not want to live their entire lives in the same city. For some, the worst fear is poverty and misery. Someone else is afraid to leave this world without leaving anything behind.

There are thousands of options. But the point is this: if you don’t have the slightest idea about your desires, then you need to start from the opposite.

Testing

It can really help some people who are confused about how to find their way in life. A test of this kind can be found in the public domain. It is aimed at exploring human needs and motivations. All he needs is to give answers to ready-made questions. There are usually options. So all that remains is to note the one that is most suitable and closest to the person.

As an example, here are several questions from different blocks. The first is formulated as follows: “Time is money. We must strive to earn as much as possible." The question from the second block is as follows: “Work is a necessary necessity of life.” Next, as a rule, there are questions aimed at identifying the factors that take up the most time from a person, as well as determining predisposition to certain areas of activity. By the way, the following answer options are offered for all questions: “I agree with this,” “50 x 50,” and “I don’t think so.”

Of course, after this, the truth will not be revealed to a person regarding how to find his way in life. The test, however, can be thought-provoking. And the results will tell you the direction in which to start acting.

Self-realization

How to find your path in life? You need to do what you do best. Or something that you’ve always wanted to try yourself at. At the same time, we must cast aside all doubts. Many people bury their dreams and desires precisely because of them. But in vain. What to lose? It’s not for nothing that they say - it’s better to do it and regret it than to regret not doing it. Even if it doesn’t work out, the person will know that he tried.

After all, it is very important to realize your potential. This is a basic need for every person. Even Abraham Harold Maslow included self-actualization in his famous pyramid of needs. And Aristotle said that happiness can only be achieved by realizing your potential.

But for this a person needs to get rid of the word “must”. Almost every second person will say: “Yes, I would like to do music/choreography/sports/art/tourism, but work takes up all my time. I need to earn money to live." Yes, this is the reality. Need money. But changes in life are also necessary! You can find another job that takes less time. Or even start your own business. A job that does not bring joy and satisfaction is an excellent reason to quit and subsequently start a business. And this, in turn, is not only a useful business and a personal source of income, but also a way of self-realization.

Awareness of freedom

That's what really matters. A person thinking about how to find the right path in life must first understand that he is absolutely free. And he is free to do whatever he wants.

But many people in life follow anything but their desires. They listen to their parents, the media, are guided by conventional generally accepted norms and laws, and exist in accordance with a banal model of life. It’s as if they forget that only they and no one else are the masters of their lives.

But freedom is available to everyone. The right to it is even enshrined in the Constitution. Freedom is the ability of a person to live and act in accordance with personal goals and interests, guided by the knowledge of objective necessity. And under no circumstances should we forget about this.

Rules to remember

How to find the right path in life? You need to follow simple recommendations:

• Remember that it is never too late to change your life for the better.
• Don't forget that everyone has problems.
• Perceive failures and troubles as an opportunity to gain experience.
• Regularly experience (provoke) new sensations.
• Do what you love.
• Forget yourself in the past and love your “I” in the present.
• Pay attention to your skills, self-development and hobbies.
• Set a goal and never give up on it.

And the most important thing is to remember that life is a series of efforts. Having found the goal, you will be able to see the road. And this will put an end to wandering and give strength to confidently move towards it.

Not only those who are just beginning to take independent steps along the road of life think about the right choice of life path, but also those who have already traveled a very significant part of it. Someone realized that they were going in the wrong direction, someone was attracted by side paths, showing other opportunities for realizing their talents... What to do? How to determine which path is right for you? How to understand what God's Providence is for you? What to do to ensure that the road of life opens in a clear perspective? And who can help if you are at a crossroads?

The pastors of the Russian Orthodox Church give their advice.

The Lord reveals His will to those who live according to His will

– No person is born just like that, as a result of some random circumstances. Each of us is called into being. We can say that even before the existence of the world, before the existence of this entire Universe, each of us was already present in God’s plan. And, therefore, there was a certain Divine plan for each of us. And, of course, the Lord wants us to fulfill this plan in our lives, so that each of us, as far as possible, lives a full life, a happy life. And I realized all the talents with which the Lord awarded us.

Consequently, all we can do is ask Him to show us this path. Of course, a person can say: “Here, I pray to God, I ask Him to open this path for me, but I do not receive an answer. Why?" There is always an answer to this question, and the answer is very simple, which, however, is very difficult to understand. When a person strives to fulfill the will of God in everything in which it is obvious, the Lord reveals His will to him in those situations where it seems hidden. If a person does not fulfill the obvious will of God, then it is even more hidden from him at some moments when we especially need to know it. And the answer, indeed, turns out to be very clear: if you strive to fulfill the will of God every day in your everyday life, then the Lord will definitely reveal it to you when you especially need to know it, and will also show you your path.

When turning to the Lord, do not force your desires on Him, but ask Him to reveal His will to you.

And one more thing: when we ask God for something, we often conceal within ourselves the following thought: “Here, Lord, I ask for this and that, but in reality I want it to be so that". I ask the Lord to reveal His will to me, but at the same time I have a clear idea of ​​what I want. But you need to refuse this and offer yourself to God, as if completely naked of all desires, and say: “Lord, as You please, so be it.” And at the same time, understand that in fact, what God pleases may not be pleasing to us at all, and that we give God the freedom to do with us whatever He wants, and this can be difficult, unpleasant, and even painful for us , and painful.

But there is something else that needs to be remembered: if we understand all this and ask for it, the Lord not only reveals His will to us, but also helps us fulfill it, and Himself builds our whole life. And the path to this lies through trust - that which is so difficult and so necessary.

When choosing a path, you must also have the determination to follow it

– When choosing your good path, you must, first of all, take into account the determination of your will to remain on this path irreversibly! We need to pray about this, so that clarity appears in the heart of what the heart is tending towards. This can be seen both from past successful experiences of encounters with this ministry, and from heartfelt inspiration in studying the possible prospects for your gradual ascent to perfection in it.

Profession may not coincide with vocation,
but provide the means to implement it

If an opportunity arises to learn something new, to learn something else, it’s worth taking advantage of it.

– I have no answer to this question, other than general considerations that

1. the profession should not contradict the commandments (a killer, a porn actor, etc. have nothing to do with what we can choose from). That is, before making a positive choice, it would be good to immediately cut off everything that is not necessary;
2. a profession may not coincide with a vocation, being a means for realizing the latter. Let's say a person can earn money as a businessman, but invest his soul in the creation of a gallery, which later became known as the Tretyakov Gallery;
3. chance is the nickname of Providence, and if you have an unplanned opportunity to gain some skills, learn some language, take part in some good deed (without detriment to other deeds), it is better to try. Because from these seemingly random options a tree of life can grow that is very different from the one we have designed for ourselves;
4. in some cases, our profession is given to us so that we step over it and move on. How this happens is described in Tolkien’s deathbed and very small narrative, “A Leaf by Niggle,” or “A Leaf by Melkin,” depending on the translation into Russian.

You need to consult with your confessor correctly

– If we are talking about doubts about whether the existing profession has been chosen correctly, then let us remember what people say: “They don’t seek good from good.” You have a job, you are happy with it, well, thank God. As they say: “The best is the enemy of the good.” If you have it, have it and thank God.

If you are at the beginning of your journey, have graduated from school, college, and are choosing your path in life, then, of course, this is the most important and complex problem, but for a church person it is resolved in some ways easier, because you can consult with your confessor. Of course, you need to consult with your parents. And pray, search. The confessor also needs to offer options, and not like this: “Tell me, father, what should I do?” - “What do you want to do, what is your soul for?” - “No, you, father, tell me!” So, perhaps, one can contact him if he is truly a spirit-bearing elder to whom the Lord reveals His will. But are there such elders now? Somehow the Lord hides them from us, or maybe we just don’t know these wonderful people, because the world is supported by the prayers of the righteous and the righteous will never become poor with the Lord. Another thing is how to find an elder...

Well, if you yourself cannot yet lean toward something specific, then think, pray, consult, look for options, and if there are several options, choose the best one, the one that attracts you most. Let’s say the work there is more interesting, but they pay more elsewhere. You must understand what is more important to you. And although, perhaps, you are attracted to an interesting job, but you have a family, you need to support it, earnings are important, even at a “boring” job, what can you do... Or, on the contrary, you see that the work is so interesting, you are so interested you are passionate about it, and there is a chance that after some time you will achieve success and have material well-being... There are a lot of pros and cons, they need to be weighed and, of course, discussed with people who love you, know you, they pray to you and help you. Then you will find the right solution.

A person should do what he likes

– I am deeply convinced that a person should do what he likes. Earthly life is too short to spend it on activities that are uninteresting to us, unless, of course, you are the head of a large family and simply must be able to feed it. But even in this case, you can look for something you like.

People who learn that they have... a fatal (or terrible) diagnosis come to the conclusion that they need to do what they want. I've encountered this many times. Only a person who has been told that he has, for example, cancer, suddenly says to himself: stop! Why am I selling sausage if I’ve dreamed of taking up photography all my life?! or all my life I wanted to sing, so why not learn now?!

And these people do what they love. And they often recover or receive support in illness, because the activity that they like is a huge potential and resource, thanks to which a person’s entire being is restored and feels better. And I think that it seems that a person in such circumstances intuitively senses what he needs to survive.

It is, of course, easier for a Christian than for an unbeliever to make the right choice.

And that's why.

First: we understand what exists, so acquiring and earning money cannot be an end in itself for us. Just understanding this is an incentive to do what you want, and not something more profitable.

Second: a Christian knows (from the Holy Scriptures) that God has measured out his talents and gifts to each of us. And everyone can serve the Church in their own way. The Apostle Paul said this beautifully: “There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit; and the services are different, but the Lord is the same; and the actions are different, but God is one and the same, producing everything in everyone. But everyone is given the manifestation of the Spirit for their benefit. To one is given the word of wisdom by the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; to another faith by the same Spirit; to others gifts of healings by the same Spirit; to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another divers tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. Yet one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He pleases” (1 Cor. 12:4-11).

Each of us has our own gifts, and this is from God! How amazing it is that we can implement them

Just think: each of us has our own gifts, and this is from God! How wonderful it is that we can realize the precious potential that God has given us, and all this for the benefit of the Body of Christ - the Church and for our salvation!

Therefore, you need to listen to yourself and try to decide what you want to do, what your soul is about. And try yourself. Even if you don’t guess right the first time, I don’t see anything wrong with that.

When choosing a path in life, look into your heart

– Perhaps, choosing a life path is one of the most difficult and painful. Even in elementary school, they are given the opportunity to write an essay on the topic: “What am I going to become?” But the soul, as a rule, rushes from one to another over the course of many years. For example, for a long time I wanted to become an investigator, to solve crimes, but in the end I became a priest, and now, in a sense, crimes also have to be solved, or rather, people themselves reveal their sins in confession, and my task is not to imprison those who have fallen into spiritual crimes, but, on the contrary, to help them find true freedom of heart.

The most important thing that I personally would advise is to choose a profession not according to the principle of “how much they will pay,” but according to the principle of “how inspiring and pleasing it is.” If you look for a job just to earn money, you will never be satisfied. In our corrupt soul there is no clear criterion for security. Experience shows that no matter how much a person strives to earn, he still wants more. In fact, the wealthiest is the one who is less attached to money than others, who is least dependent on its accumulation.

Work should be enjoyable and enjoyable. Therefore, I will offer the most basic advice: think about it, what would you like to do? So try to master this.

The choice of a profession should be approached in the same way as the choice of a life partner. In order not to be mistaken, it is important to feel a kinship in your heart, that this is yours, corresponding to your inner world, dear to your heart. Then you can avoid unnecessary mistakes in advance.

There is also such a thing as a calling. The Lord has placed some gifts in the soul of every person. After all, someone is called to become a surgeon, and someone is a teacher, someone is a military man, and someone is called to become a singer in the choir of a parish church. We can recognize a calling as a special inner call that tells us what to strive for and what to look for, and is accompanied by special creative inspiration. This is a new understanding of life, when guidelines appear and you try to achieve a suddenly important goal for you. This is the inner voice that needs to be heard, and this requires sensitivity to what is happening inside.

It is important to look inside your own heart, to listen to its inner call. And let the choice of life path correspond to the search of the heart, then this choice will not oppress, but nourish and strengthen the soul.

The Lord hears the prayers of seeking people and always helps them

Sometimes a person is still lost and does not know what step to take. At the very least, we can pray that the Lord will enlighten, enlighten and Himself direct our lives for good. The Savior said: “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you” (Matthew 7:7). The main thing is not to sit idly by. He who does not seek anything will find nothing, but he who seeks will certainly find it. The Lord hears the prayers of seeking people and always helps them.

A person will not know the will of God unless he acts

- One thing can be said: a person does not recognize A does not obey God’s will if, firstly, he does not seek with all his heart the fulfillment of God’s will, and secondly, if he does not act. Mistakes are not scary. Precisely mistakes, not conscious sins. Because when a person truly seeks to fulfill God’s will and acts, the Lord finds the opportunity to reveal to a person what he is right about and what he is wrong about, what he needs to grow and establish himself in, and what he needs to leave behind. Moreover, perhaps there is no other way. And when a person seeks an experienced confessor to ask him the will of God about himself, this is good, of course, and correct, but even here a lot depends on the faith of the person himself, on the intensity of his prayer. Because if a person is serious and prays with faith, the Lord will definitely reveal His will to him, and if he is careless and relaxed, then no elder, even a truly spirit-bearing one, will help him.

Life is a creative process, and the Lord wants us to live a full, creative life, using all our strength to avoid sin and consciously practice God’s commandments. If we have such an attitude, then no matter what we do, the Lord will definitely help us find our place in life, go on our own path.

The main thing is to remain a Christian

You need to carefully consider: can you maintain Christian beliefs in this profession?

– Standing at a crossroads, you need, first of all, to be confirmed in the decision that you will follow the chosen road as a Christian. First of all, you will be a Christian, second - a doctor, or a lawyer, or an athlete. You need to carefully weigh and evaluate: can you withstand this prioritization? Will sports, or business, or something else swallow up your Christian beliefs? Will you be forced, within the framework of your professional activity, to act contrary to the commandments, as, say, doctors who perform abortions do?

The main thing is to consult, think, pray and make a decision on your own.

There is also a lot of evidence of people making radical changes in their lifestyle when they realized that something was going wrong. And they did it! Was a businessman - became an artist. Was a builder - became a livestock breeder. Was a livestock farmer - became a priest! Who doesn't make mistakes? That's right: someone who does nothing.

Human life is a continuous movement. The line along which a person moves is the path of life. It consists of events that happen over a lifetime. In other words, it can be called fate. Each person has his own destiny, which he builds himself. Some people believe that nothing depends on them and go with the flow of life, maybe this is so, because there is no confirmation or refutation of this. In any case, a person makes a certain contribution to his destiny. Well, for people who want to choose their own path in life, a few tips will help.

If you want to choose a path in life and not make mistakes, you will have to give yourself the right to make mistakes, because without trying, it is impossible to understand whether it is right for you or not. In addition, life goals can change with age and there is nothing surprising if this question interested you at 30, 40 or 60 years old - the path of life can change several times in life, because only those who do not develop do not change.

We should not forget about ancient teachings, no matter how strange they may seem. If you pay attention to some exotic stories, you will notice that the person himself has nothing to do with the choice of his destiny. It is formed long before his birth.

Stress has a negative impact on the choice of life path, since a person in an uncertain state will not be able to concentrate and make the right choice. An irritated person is very unbalanced, so his opinion is not confident and inaccurate. Depression not only worsens the nervous system, but also negatively affects one’s life position.

The choice of life path directly depends on your mood, so you need to smile more often and look positively at all current situations. Even from the slightest joy you need to be able to “squeeze out” all the pleasure. If something does not go according to plan, it is worth remembering the proverb: everything that is not done is for the better.

Almost every person is familiar with the phrase: if you repeat a thought often, it will come true. Maybe that's true. This option should not be excluded. If a person wants something, thinks about it, moves towards its realization, then it must come true. People do everything to fulfill their desires, and only the confident and purposeful manage to fulfill them.

But we should not exclude the possibility that a person chooses his own path in life. After all, he commits actions that later decide his fate. Also, those around us make a significant contribution to a person’s destiny. They can both positively and negatively influence his development, help him choose a position in life, or vice versa.

When choosing his life path, a person sets himself a goal, which he approaches throughout his life. The main thing is to set this goal correctly and not give up under any circumstances. It's important to never stop. This is the only way to achieve success.

How to choose a path in life and not make a mistake

The search for the meaning of life has concerned people for many centuries. But neither the great sages, nor philosophers, nor ordinary people could give an answer to this question. In life, we constantly have to make choices: profession, university, place of work, spouse. How to find your path in life so that after many years you don’t have the feeling that your life was lived in vain.

First of all, decide what exactly you want from life. This could be a strong, friendly family, a fast-paced and successful career, monotonous everyday life devoid of strong emotions, or, conversely, a life full of passions and dangerous adventures.

Sometimes we simply follow the wishes of others (for example, parents), who determine our destiny for us. It is not right. Every person has the right to make independent choices and mistakes. Intervention, even from a stranger, can cause significant harm to the psyche and self-esteem. The habit of shifting responsibility for your life to others cannot lead to anything good.

To choose a path in life and not make a mistake, decide for yourself what exactly gives you pleasure. Perhaps this is what will push you on the right path in life. Perhaps you enjoy drawing, or playing music, or communicating with children, maybe you like to heal people or simply do good deeds. This will be a hint on how to find your path in life.

Try to spend as much time as possible on what you love. Do not put duty above your own interests, as you can forever give up your happiness.

Take risks, do stupid things, don’t be afraid to change your life. Open your life to something new.

Which movie or literary character most appeals to you, with whom do you associate yourself? To choose a path in life and not make a mistake, select several options; this will help you establish what you really want from life.

Don't give in to problems. Overcoming obstacles will only strengthen you on the difficult path to your intended goal.

And remember, it's never too late to change your path in life. Even if at the age of sixty you realized that your life does not suit you at all, and you were doing the wrong thing, you should not despair. It's never too late to change yourself, and by changing, we ourselves change the world around us.

And finally, do not forget about your loved ones, because their fate is inextricably linked with yours, therefore, they are not at all indifferent to what path in life you have chosen for yourself. And if somewhere, in something you made a mistake and regret it, do not be afraid to admit your mistake and move forward.

How to find your creative path

Sometimes it seems to us that all talented people absorbed talent with their mother’s milk and spend absolutely no effort to achieve creative heights. This is not entirely true, every talented person is talented in his own way, and it takes years of hard work to develop natural abilities. How to find your creative path? Undoubtedly, every person has talent, but how to find it?

We can live and not suspect the existence of talent in ourselves, which is why we do not realize the creative abilities and energy inherent in us by nature. It is very good if parents direct their child on a creative path from childhood, engage in aesthetic education, and send him to an art or music school. It is easier for teachers to figure out what the child is most inclined to.

If the development of creative abilities in childhood was not given enough attention, talent can sleep for quite a long time. How to understand that you have not realized your creative potential.

The first sign of the need for creativity is boredom. Everyday activities do not bring you pleasure, but you are also reluctant to do anything else. In this case, you need to realize your internal resources and determine what kind of creativity you are inclined towards.

There are several methods on how to find your creative path.

You need to remember what you were interested in as a child, what business brought you joy and pleasure. Throw out of your head thoughts about the profitability of this business, just enjoy the process. A new hobby will be a wonderful relaxation and fill your life with energy and happiness.

If the first method does not help, try turning to your subconscious. Psychologists say that in our subconscious you can find the answer to almost any question, you just need to ask it correctly and hear the answer. Take a comfortable position, relax and look inward. Mentally ask a question that concerns you. Don't expect an answer right away. It may arise as an idea or thought a few days later.

If the previous two options did not bring results, you should use this technique. To choose your creative path and not make mistakes, just watch the people who surround you and note for yourself what you admire or simply like. Write down all the things that interest you, and after a while, look through the notes you made and choose what exactly you would like to devote your time to.

Do not give up in the face of difficulties; only through hard work can you achieve mastery.
