5 Steps To Find Out Your Life Purpose
Finding out your life purpose is one of the
most fulfilling journeys that you can ever take.
Why are you here in this world?
Why do you exist?
What do you think is your reason for living?
Now, you don’t have to immediately have the
answers to all of these questions–you need to discover the answers gradually.
Here are five simple steps you will need to
undergo in order to discover your purpose in life.
1.
Your life purpose matters to you. Find that One Thing that absolutely catches
your interest.
Look deep into your heart and pinpoint that
One Thing that captivates you. What makes you awestruck? Check out your
bookmarked websites–what do they have in common? Bring out your reading
list–what’s that topic that you’re particularly interested in?
Look back to the times when you talk with
people–what subject matter can you find yourself talking about for long hours?
What’s that One Thing that you’d feel
fulfilled to pursue?
Singing? Writing? Speaking? Dancing?
Painting? Crafts-making? Reading?
Be honest with yourself. You’ll find that One
Thing soon enough.
2.
It should serve people around you. Lend some of your time and
do some volunteer work.
Remember, the volunteer work that you should
be doing must be connected with the One Thing that you were able to pinpoint in
step one. Just do the work without any expectation of being compensated or
being given the credit.
Your life purpose should have a massive
impact to your community–it should be something that you love
doing and something that people love seeing you do. Purpose, after
all, is best when shared with others.
3.
Your life purpose should enhance your growth as a person. Pinpoint your primary
talent.
Some people say that they’re good at
everything–this isn’t true at all. You can only be absolutely excellent at one
thing and just average at the others.
You can find out your talent if you know
which of your abilities can make you stand out like an ultimate celebrity. What
are you wonderful at? What is the skill that compels people to come up to you
and say, “Good job!” or “Wow, you really have a skill for that”?
4.
Passion, service and talent should be all interrelated to form your life
purpose. Connect the dots.
Once you’ve discovered that One Thing that you
love doing, that thing that you can use to serve others and that thing that
you’re very great at, you might be surprised to know that all of these are
connected!
Take Nick Vujicic for example.
Nick loves communicating and expressing his
religious views to everyone.
Nick serves people by inspiring them and
motivating them to be the best that they can be.
Nick is absolutely wonderful at
communications and public speaking.
5.
Act on it.
Your family and friends may discourage you
and tell you to just sit back and let things happen. Now, they do this because
they think they’re protecting you, when in fact, they’re
really just protecting themselves. They’re scared that you have the desire to
find out your life purpose. This the first time they’ve seen someone do this,
so forgive them. Forgive their negativity, their discouragement and their
frustration.
Just go out there and really get your feet
wet and your hands dirty.
Serve people by doing that One Thing that
you’re passionate about.
Reach out to mentors in the same industry
that you’re targeting.
Finding out your life purpose isn’t about
attending classes, dissecting being-centered theories or working on a thesis.
It’s about exploration–it’s an adventure that you can only take if you’re
willing to.
Promise yourself that you will discover your
life purpose so that you can make a difference.
