How to find purpose in Life?

This question is not meant to be answered yet. Sometimes this is really hard to know. I am deeply passionate about helping women who are in relationships that are toxic and cannot live their lives to their full potential. When you live in a toxic relationship it is hard to see yourself out of the center of the relationship. You do not take into account your needs and wants and this is really hard. The harder you try to help or focus on that other person makes you pay less attention to your own self. One of the things that helps for me is to journal about what is going on in that relationship and spend time detailing exactly what is going on. It is hard to imagine what and how you can free yourself from it. The more time you spend thinking about what you want and how you can get to that will help carve a space that will get you to the next stage in your life. One thing to remember is that things change and this situation will not be like this forever. It seems like it now but it will change believe me.

I guess finding purpose in any toxic relationship is hard. It is like riding the waves in a big ocean. Imagine yourself out in the ocean alone and feeling, seeing and smelling those waves. Some waves are stronger than others but keeping your life jacket will help you survive. What is your life jacket. What sort of things can you find in your life that you can hold onto that give you peace and will carry you thru?
