What is your purpose?

We all struggle in the big question in life.. What is my purpose? It seems at times when we are bored that the question comes into our minds and when we don’t have an immediate answer the struggle begins.

Recently my friend has struggled with what her purpose is and I simple stated “your purpose is you”. Being your best self living your best life each and everyday. Feeling accomplished as you close your eyes at bedtime and feeling refreshed as you open them to start a new day.

I believe that purpose is the key or the stem for which all others (character traits) grow upon. If you don’t know or your purpose is not genuine all else falls.

Find your True Purpose…

1) Seek higher self - beyond ego - ideally through 30 min meditation in morning and at night (or as often as possible)

2) Discover your unique talents - list three things you love to do and can do well

3) Ask yourself 'How I can best serve humanity' .

4) Everyday say 'how can I help?' rather than 'what's in it for me!'

These questions may help you find your true purpose…

1) Ask yourself, if you won a 1 million what would you do differently in life.

2) If you had perfect health for 6months and then you were going to drop dead, how would you spend the time

3) Which one quality of your character, if you were to develop it further would serve you the most fully in life?

4) If you had a magic wand, and could grant any one skill or a ability, what would you choose?

5) What is it that gives you the most joy and satisfaction in life?

6) What legacy would you like to leave, how would you like to be remembered

7) What one great thing would you dare to dream if you knew that you could not fail?

Reflect on the answers you have given, and ask yourself, is my life in alignment with these answers? If yes this is a great indicator that you are on purpose. If not, then I suggest that your answers indicate where your purpose may lay and begin to steer your life in that direction. The answers you have written have come from your heart and when we put our heart into what we do, we do it with passion and power.

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed
by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do.
So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour.
Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."
Mark Twain

We all have purpose in life. Find your purpose.. It is never too late!
