Searching for purpose in life is not always easy, in fact, it is possible that right now you feel lost in this regard and do not know well how to continue your life to feel complete. Finding your life mission will help you feel like you are contributing to the world, to have a reason to get up every morning and feel unique and alive every day of your life.
If you are on your path of self-knowledge and self-understanding, you have probably wondered deeply about yourself and searched for your "why." You may have learned that looking for it doesn't bring you much closer to those purposes. If you don't know how to find your purposes, today we are going to make it easier for you, We are going to tell you some things you can do to discover what your purpose in life is.
Evaluate your values and your goals
Ask yourself things like:
- What are the principles by which I live my life?
- What is really important to me?
- What really matters? How do I want my life to be in 5 or 10 years?
These values are the model by which you live your life daily and if you choose to pay attention to them, you can serve as a way to make better decisions that are true to who you are and also, they will be your guide for your purpose. Then, Whatever you do, see what is important to you, what you want most in life and what gives you meaning every day.
They say that life has no inherent meaning: it is up to each of us to give it meaning, and our values and goals are, in fact, the meaning we personally give to our life. So go ahead, take some time to reflect on your goals, take a look at what drives you to worry about certain things, situations and causes and not by others, and become familiar with your own value system because this is what serves as the foundation of your mission or unique purpose.
Have an inspiration model
Whether it's people, books, courses, programs ... take note of what you are curious about, what you can't wait to learn, read or talk more about. Notice what excites you every time someone brings it up. These things are what arouse your interest, those that stimulate your desire for knowledge, your action, and those that enhance your daily decisions. They are also the things that ultimately propel you toward your goals. It is not something of chance, they are the result of your personality, your inherent strengths and your incredible unique way of perceiving and interacting with the world.
The more you listen, read, watch and learn from all the people and things that inspire you, the more you will be in a state of resonance with your purpose, your "why", your reason for being alive. What inspires you about science, art, dance, literature, technology, education, numbers or the ocean tells a story, a story of how you came to be who you are and who you are becoming. What inspires you about other people is something that also lives within you. Otherwise, you would not have the ability to notice it.
So, as you continue to flow and grow through life, don't be afraid to comfort yourself with the activities, people, settings, and situations that inspire you. Let them take care of you, calm you, guide you and remind you why you are not only alive, but happy to be alive.
Stop believing that you have to be someone
Not surprisingly, it is the belief that we have to be someone and that we must be important that is at the root of our endless effort, digging, and impatience for purpose, something that will remind us that, in fact, we are worthy and that we have value.
The truth is that each and every one of us, in every moment of every day, is important. We all influence each other all the time. So if you want to have a purpose right now, let it be to influence the people around you in the most positive way possible. Allow yourself to recognize your own inherent importance, treat yourself as being incredibly valuable who you are and then go and do the same for others.
Your purpose is alive in every moment. It's in the way you move, the way you talk, the way you choose to greet and treat yourself and others every day. So every morning when you wake up, you can say something like, "I know that I have inherent importance and value and that I exercise my purpose in each and every way I speak, walk, and treat myself and others. people". Then ask something like: "Knowing this, how will I choose to live my life today?" And let that inspire your energy, the enthusiasm and the purpose with which you start each day.
Do not do or look for anything
When you spend time in silence, doing nothing, you will have more time and space to listen to the inner reflections of your soul. Your soul does not scream; speaks to you in subtleties. An inexplicable urge to do something, a doubt not to do something else, the images you see around you, the experiences you have, the people you meet, and the conversations you remember - these are all forms of language in which your soul communicates. It is a language that only you know, that only you can recognize, see, hear, touch and feel.
When you take the time to simply be with yourself, you will become more and more aware of the nuances that occur in and around you. You will be able to avoid the chatter of your mind and listen to the voice of your intuition and the whispers of your heart. Among the multitude of whispers in your heart, you are unlikely to find the whisper of "Come on, stop wasting your time and find your purpose now." The whispers of your heart sound more easily like this: «Darling, take your time. There is no rush at all. Just as you were created on purpose, I have no doubt that you always live by your purpose, whether you are accomplishing things, writing books, influencing people or just wagging your thumbs… »
And once you get to this point… allow your purpose to find you! Sometimes when you least expect it, that's when the lit light bulb will come to mind.
