Life Purpose: How To Find Your Purpose in Life
Are you feeling lost, confused or stuck trying to figure out your life purpose? And maybe even a bit frustrated that you haven’t figured out what the point of life is all about. Trust me, you are not alone. We all go through this and it’s so common at any age to start questioning your life purpose.
I think the biggest misconception is that we think that we should have figured out our life purpose early on in our life but, that’s far from the truth. One thing I know for sure is that you are a beautiful soul that has so many amazing talents but are having trouble taping into your “inner GPS”. This is the NorthStar that’s guiding you through life. This is what’s showing you the way but, unfortunately, we have a very busy and noisy mind that distracts us from listening to that quiet voice inside of us.
Life Purpose: Listen to Your “inner GPS”
There are various ways to tap into your inner voice. Personally, I found that meditation is an excellent tool for this. You are able to really quiet your mind and let that inner voice come out. As for anything in life, meditation takes practice and is a habit that you can learn to love with time. It can be frustrating in the beginning because it’s hard to quiet your mind but with practice, you will get into the flow and it will come more natural to you.
I also know that meditation is not for everyone so another very effective way to determine what you want in life is by asking yourself a series of profound self-reflection questions. These are specific questions that helped me find my life purpose and I’m sure they will help you through this process. I did this exercise when I had no idea what I should do with my life. These questions helped me become more self-aware and figure out what I really wanted in life. If you want a clear picture of what you want, I would recommend you download the self-reflection questions and grab your journal. It’s time to dig deep!
Strengths & Talents
We all have strengths and talents, let me say that again— We all have strengths and talents. You, my love have amazing strengths and talents waiting to be tapped into. You have incredible potential and you have no idea how talented you are. The only reason why you may think that you don’t is because you just haven’t strengthen those muscles yet. You haven’t learned and explored that side of you. You can start by asking yourself what skills you would like to learn or strengthen.
And this is not the time to say, “I would love to do X but I’m not good at that.” Well, this is why you need to learn and it may not come naturally to you at first but, you can absolutely learn it. You may also have strengths that come so natural to you that you don’t realize you have them. A great tool that I found helpful was this Free Personality Test. It’s a short quiz that you can take to help you find your strengths. I personally found the results of my quiz mind blowing because it was so accurate I even cried, which I know sounds ridiculous, but this quiz helped me create a clear path for myself. This is how profound and useful this tool was and it’s totally FREE. I would encourage you to take it as soon as possible and let me know what you think.
Be compassionate and patient
Once you have more clarity, start learning and exploring. But please, please, please be kind and patient with yourself. This is not a race and you will get nowhere if you start criticizing yourself. Be as loving as you would be with someone that you love. The answers will come to you and you will get clarity from the exercises I mentioned above but it takes time. The beauty of life is the journey so enjoy it and don’t rush it.
I would love to hear from you. Leave a comment and let me know if you had any “aha moments” after reading this article or by doing any of the exercises mentioned above.
