Of everything G‑d created in His world, not one thing was created without purpose. —Talmud, Shabbat 77b
For every being, there is a world, different from the world of every other being. For what is a world? It is those things of which any single being is aware.
So that whether it be a human being like yourself, a cow on a farm or a leaf on a tree, it knows only of its Creator, itself, and whatever is essential to its purpose. And that is its world.
And in the world of each one of us, all that exists and all that occurs is that which is essential for us to complete our purpose—to fix up this world.
For G‑d does not create anything without purpose.
Reshimot, no. 44.
G d created you with a purpose, and me and even the tree. But what happens if we try with all our might and we just can’t seem to find our own purpose for being put on G d’s created earth? Does G d punish us in some way by denying us to exist, expand or even be happy? Or does G d just turn his face away and still believe his creations will eventually discover what their true purpose is on this earth. Many people ask these same questions and some never find the answer while others discover what was missing in their lives all along. The missing answer to the question is that G d never creates anyone or anything by mere conscience. G d already had his purpose laid out for us before he breathed the breath of life into our mouths. We just have to stay vigilant to him through prayer by seeking out the answers as to what, where, and how we can find our purpose. When we do find the key that opens the door to our purpose, your life will change, my life will and even the tree’s life.
Well said Eleanor, I can remember as a very small child exploring my world constantly. Mother would tell me that "curiosity killed the cat one day". I often think of that when I have a near death experience, Lol. But so far I find it a learning experience. My inner world is so enormous that I have never felt the need to physically explore this world, meaning travel to far away places.
Trust that, even to us, the most miniscule thing we do can be used in a huge way by G-d and visa versa. Always remember His ways are higher than ours. I catch myself struggling to know my purpose but then I remember this. In my most laborious questioning answers come, sometime bit by bit and sometimes all at once.
