7 Methods to Find Your Life Purpose

By Hal Neff


There are many paths to uncover when it comes to discovering your life purpose. Unfortunately, though, no one else will find it for you. Since your life purpose is unique from anyone else's, it is quest which you - and only you - can complete.

In your search for passion, focus on enjoying the journey itself. Sometimes when you stop thinking about your life's purpose, it drops into your lap!

Here are some techniques you can find your life purpose:

1 . Write about how you feel. Try journaling with a pen and paper, or grab your laptop and just start scribbling. Write about how you really feel and what you want out of life. Keep in mind that no one is going to read this other than you, so do not be scared to express your thoughts.

* Go back and reread your entries every so often. Many times this process can bring you new realizations which you didn't think of when you were scribbling it in the first place.

2 . Pursue your own passions. If you're passionate about a particular subject, maybe you can create a career or hobby out of it to enable you to engage in activities which are personally special to you. This way, every day of your life might feel like it matters and you may have a life purpose.

3. Consider your talents. Think about the areas in which you naturally excel and see if you possibly can turn these abilities into something meaningful for you.

* Many individuals are attracted to a life purpose which makes them feel like they are creating a true change in the lives of others. You could find it fulfilling to be using something you are good at to assist other individuals which are in need.

* For instance , if you find that you are good at encouraging individuals, maybe you can consider a profession as a counselor.

4. Speak with inspiring individuals. Strike up a conversation with somebody who inspires you. While you might not be fascinated in the same stuff, you could discuss how they uncovered their life purpose. Their triumphs and problems will make good lessons for you in your journey to your purpose.

5. What brings you joy? Reflect on the times in your life when you are most happy. What are you doing at these times? You can begin the mission for your life purpose by using what actually makes you happy.

* Maybe you're most satisfied when you're just sitting at home with your family. That's a fantastic gift!

* Keep in mind that you're not necessarily searching for something exotic! After all, your life purpose may already be under your nose.

6. Embrace change. Sometimes the thing that holds you back from self-discovery is a fear of change. There's comfort and safety in not taking risks, but you also might never find your life's true purpose. Learn to embrace change because life is constantly changing around you.

7. Uphold your values. All of us have a set of values that they tend to adhere to in life. You may use your own values as a starting point to discovering you life purpose. Create a list of your values with your most significant ones at the top. Think about what you could do to honor those values in life every day and you may find your purpose.

Finding your purpose in life may not be as tough as you think. Use these methods on your quest and someday soon you will realize that you've found the one feature of your life which makes everything worthwhile.
