Tag: purpose

Wandering around aimlessly from day to day provides absolutely no benefit to you or those around you.

An unspecified purpose leaves you frustrated and lacking direction with everything you do.

If you don’t already know your purpose in life, take some time to reflect on what it may be.

Then make sure everything you do lines up with this purpose.

Discover Your Purpose

In order to find your purpose, look at the things you love to do and what makes you tick.

The trick is to figure out where you draw your internal energy from and where your gifts and talents are best used.

What do you do to recharge your batteries?

What do you absolutely love to do?

Take a little time to figure this out and then focus on it.

Choose Activities That Fulfill Your Purpose

Once you identify your purpose, look at the things you do on a day-to-day basis.

Do these activities add to your purpose or take away from it?

Everything you say, do, think and act on should complement your purpose and help fulfill you.

If it isn’t doing this, either drop the activity or delegate it to someone else.

An example of a purpose you might have is to provide a healthy and comfortable life for your partner and children.

What types of activities do you think fall in line with this purpose?

Let’s look at a few and see how they line up with your personal life purpose.

1. Cooking. Cooking your own food allows you to be the top chef.

You get to choose the ingredients in your food, rather than relying on some other person or company.

You can take out the salt, add flavor with herbs and spices, and reduce your portions to create something that fits within your family’s healthy lifestyle.

Plus you’re saving money, which can be used for your children’s education or a family retreat.

2. Cleaning. Keeping a clean house fulfills both the healthy and comfortable parts of your purpose.

By doing things like dusting, washing dishes, and taking out the garbage, you’re staying healthy.

Removing the clutter creates a more comfortable environment.

3. Exercise. Exercising, along with activities like yoga and meditation, help keep your mind and body healthy and comfortable.

These activities keep your weight down and make you feel better inside and out, which will also keep you strong for your family.

As you can see, each one of these activities adds to your purpose.

Things that distract you from your purpose might include eating out excessively, living beyond your means, and even sitting around doing nothing all day.

Negative or unfulfilling activities can be exchanged for the ones that supercharge both you and your life purpose.

Live With Purpose at Work, Too

For your professional purpose, you might have a passion to plan social events for you and your coworkers.

You can accomplish this by volunteering for your company’s activities committee or being on a board that plans events and meetings.

You can also start your own activity group and get things together for employee birthday parties in the office.

You can see how these ideas and actions fall directly in line with your passion and purpose.

Obviously you still have to get your job done, but you can certainly use your free time to fulfill your purpose.

Once you’ve identified your purpose, I challenge you to live your life with intensity toward that purpose.

Do everything you can to focus on your calling with the things you say, think and do.

If it isn’t necessary or doesn’t align with your goals, let it go.

Living your life with intense purpose renews your passion for life and enables you to be the best you can be.

It strengthens your self-confidence and, best of all, brings self-fulfillment.

Find your purpose today, and give it all you’ve got!

Do you ever feel like your life has no purpose – like you’re just going from one day to the next, without really loving or hating it?

If you’re in this situation, boredom is your enemy.

We all experience boredom at some point in life, and it stops us from meeting our full potential.

If you want to get out of this rut and onto the fast track to success and fulfillment, you’re going to have to give up boredom.

It’s time to say you’ll never be bored again!

Boredom is detrimental to your physical and mental health.

It makes you feel unfulfilled, unhappy, and tired.

It’s a fact – inactivity leads to more inactivity, plus it leaves you feeling empty and miserable.

The cycle becomes ongoing, and you’ve got to consciously break its path.

If you’re feeling bored and want to get out of the slump, do something – anything!

It doesn’t matter what. Just get moving.

If you don’t like your chosen activity, change to something else.

Boredom and Purpose

How does boredom relate to finding your purpose?

It’s simple. If you’re allowing yourself to be bored, you’re putting roadblocks in the way of finding the path that will lead you to the top of your personal mountain.

It’s important to have a purpose, because that purpose will allow you to feel happy and give you a reason to get out of bed every day.

It will keep you moving, active, and healthy.

Your special purpose doesn’t necessarily have to be a career; it could be a hobby or charitable cause.

It’s also important to love what you’re doing. The ideal, of course, is to turn your life’s passion into a full time career.

No matter what you’re doing, if you don’t love it, you need to find something else to pursue.

Some people are able to pursue their passion during the time when they’re not working, because some passions may not make the best careers.

For example, there are few highly paid stamp collectors.

How Do You Find Your Purpose?

How can you discover your special purpose? The answer is simple, but the process might be a tough one.

You need to open yourself to all new experiences and get out there and do things. You mustn’t allow yourself to say you’re bored anymore!

Exploring the world around you is a great way to discover your purpose or passion.

Whether you’re reading new books, exploring parts of your city you’ve never been to, or talking to people you’ve never met, you’ll discover new things about yourself, learn more about your surroundings, and experience new adventures. 

New experiences have a lot to offer.

They get you out of the same old mindset and into one where you have more passion and interest in the world.

New encounters encourage you to try new things, develop new skill sets, and find out what you excel at.

You can find purpose in the strangest places, so don’t rule out any activity.

After all, if you try something and don’t like it, you don’t have to go back to it.

It’s having passions, and the perseverance to pursue them, that makes us stars.

If you’ve been feeling like your life is empty, it’s time to fill it with some passion!

What activities do you enjoy doing with your family?

How can you develop skills through your daily activities?

The meaning of life is one of those sought after quests that can never truly be answered.

There are just too many opinions and personal definitions for any one meaning to be true for everyone.

Also, there are certain topics in life that can simply never be fully described with mere words, such as true love and true self.

Some will say that discovering the meaning behind true love and your true self is the meaning of life.

What do you think?

Discovering Your Purpose

While you might feel a bit confused, you can start to find meaning in your life by discovering your true purpose.

For some, this comes easily but for others it may take some deep soul searching.

Your true purpose is not necessarily a job or something concrete, although it could be.

There are no rules to follow, just the rules set out by your heart.

Try some of the following activities when searching for your true purpose:

Find a time and place where you can have some quiet self-reflection.

Just start writing down ideas on what you think your true purpose might be.

You may not arrive at it at first, but you’ll eventually come across something that hits the nail on the head.

Activities and hobbies. Reflect on your favorite activities and hobbies.

Can you turn any of them into a life’s purpose?

Some people feel that if they take their hobbies further it’ll start to feel like any old job.

This won’t be the case if you’ve truly found your purpose.

Skills and intelligence. If there are certain skills and abilities that you’re good at, perhaps you should try pursuing those, even if you didn’t think you wanted to before.

Also, you might want to look into a theory called Multiple Intelligences by Howard Gardner.

Gardner describes how everyone has a type of intelligence and it might not always be what is typically accepted as intelligence, such as a high IQ.

Ask yourself whether or not you’re happy in your current life situation.

If you are, perhaps you’ve already found your life’s purpose or you’re on the correct path to it.

If you’re unhappy, see if you can isolate the reasons why.

Once you know why, you can take action to correct the imbalance.

Make an effort to let go of your regrets. These never serve a positive purpose in your life.

However, if you identify your regrets, perhaps you can use them to help you discover your purpose.

Perhaps there’s something you regret that you can correct.

Often times, it’s not too late to make a positive change!

For example, if you’re in your 50s and you always wanted to go to college, you shouldn’t let anything stand in the way between you and your dream.

If you’re a religious person, it’s likely that your religion discusses life and meaning.

Search through religious books or seek out a spiritual advisor to learn more about the meaning of life.

Follow Your Bliss 

To put it quite simply, if you’re following your bliss, you’re on the road to discovering your true purpose.

You’ll also be discovering your personal definition for the meaning of life.

Remember, you’ll always have outside influences when it comes to finding life’s meaning, but following your heart is the only true answer.

What do you think is your purpose in life?

How can you make your life better every day?
