Finding Your Purpose

How to Find Your Purpose

The number one quest for so many right now is finding our true purpose in life. From the time we were small children we were asked “What do you want to be when you grow up”? We may have had a clear answer at that time, but as we grow up our childhood certainty becomes foggier and ever more allusive as we travel through this journey we call life. how we live our lives has changed. Our values and priorities have changed and to some extent that is going to change what, why, and how you do what you do. If you don’t really know what your purpose is, that is okay. A lot of people are trying to figure that out right now as many of us pivot from what we do and how we work to a new way of living and being. Trying to figure out your next step can be a bit of a journey. What is it that you are here to do? What is your true purpose in life?

I will let you in a little secret… your purpose in life changes. Usually several times over our lifetime. Your life purpose can change as your life situations change. And, because our personal identity is often so intrinsically intertwined with what we perceive as our life purpose, we see and judge ourselves by what it is we do. If we don’t know what our purpose is, it can be really uncomfortable for us. We feel lost, unproductive, like we are aimlessly spinning our wheels. This usually happens when we are in moments of transition and guess what? It’s perfectly normal. You are normal, you are just in process. Changing what you do and why you do it is perfectly fine. Sometimes we do it by choice and sometimes we do it because of life circumstances.

When I was first asked this question by my college professor “What is the purpose of your life”, I was dumbfounded. ”Uhhh, its eight o’clock Monday morning. I don’t know what I am doing for dinner tonight, let alone the purpose of my life”! Now many years later, I think to become truly successful and personally confident, it is very important to have a clearly defined concept of your current life purpose and goals, preferably written down for your own personal reference. The reason we create this in the first place is to give us a tangible way of reminding us why we are getting up in the morning, where we are headed, and what we are going to accomplish along the way. It helps keep us on track and motivated.

So, to let’s start by answering the following questions:

The one thing I enjoy doing more than anything else is _______________________________________________. In fact, I enjoy ____________________________________ so much that I would do it even if I didn’t get paid. The reason I enjoy this so much is because I feel______________________________________________________ when I __________________________________.
