Three Steps to Finding Your Life's Purpose

Trying to figure out our life's purpose may be one of the most difficult things we have to do as humans. I hope that after this post, you will have developed a useful tool that you can immediately put to use in your life to help it go in the right way!

Finding your life's meaning may be broken down into three steps:

Recognizing and using the choice principle

This is what Norman Vincent Peale had to say about free will: "The ability to choose is the most powerful tool we possess. Choosing to be joyful instead of unhappy is a real possibility if you've been stumbling about in misery. Lift yourself into pleasure by making an effort. If you tend to be afraid, choosing to have bravery may help you conquer your problems. Everyone's quality of life and the overall trend are influenced by the decisions they make."

Making a decision is the most critical mental action since it communicates your objectives to your subconscious mind. As soon as your subconscious mind learns about your desires, it will do whatever it takes to bring them about. The goals you set for yourself are shaped by the decisions you make along the way. It's possible to achieve your goals if you put your heart and soul into them.

On the other hand, indecisiveness leads to irritation and worry and may even confuse your subconscious mind about what you really desire. However, your decisions must be your own and reflect your real goals, intentions, and abilities. The majority of us allow others to make decisions for us, or we make our own decisions based on what we believe to be 'right,' even if it means that we go against our better judgment and our own preferences. If you want to know what is correct for you, don't listen to what others say. Instead, follow your heart.

First and foremost, create a list of all the things that excite and motivate you. These should be things that you have always liked, make you feel good, and encourage you to keep moving forward despite the challenges. Is it something you like doing creatively or artistically? Do you like being out in the fresh air? Do you like going to the beach? Do you take pleasure in assisting others? Do you like having an impact on the lives of others?

Answer the following questions on whatever it is that piques your interest:

What do you like doing most?

What about this item appeals to you, and why?

How do you think you'd be able to earn a livelihood doing something like this?

Developing Your Underlying Idea or Theory

Make a list of everything you can think of, and then look for any repeating themes. There's a chance it's your ability to make a difference that keeps popping up or a consequence of your want to receive or offer love. Whatever it is, try to distill the essence of what you like into a single, succinct sentence. The purpose of this document is to serve as your "Mission Statement." The phrase or concept may even be something you've heard from someone famous. Although this phrase may change as you mature, its essence will not. Now, draft a Mission Statement for your business.

Adherence to the Underlying Principle in Your Life

Last but not least, you must chart your course to your ultimate goal and begin making adjustments in your day-to-day activities that assist you in achieving it. You will be able to begin practicing this concept every day after you make some little changes to your way of life. The change in your excitement for life as a whole may take a few days to notice after you become conscious of and deliberate about this life concept. Plan your vacation if you've discovered that you like being outside. Take your kids on a day trip and see if it helps you recover some of your energy. If you find that helping others is something you love doing, start looking for volunteer opportunities in your area. Alternatively, you may decide to make a career shift or start a new company to serve your purpose better.

That's all there is to it! To discover and live your life's purpose, follow the procedures described in the preceding paragraphs. Just keep in mind that "You were put on this earth to achieve your greatest self, to live out your purpose, and to do it courageously" - Steve Maraboli
