What is your life purpose? Is it helpful to know what it is? This list provides some ideas about life purpose that may be helpful to you if you have ever wondered about yours.
1. Your life purpose is something you have always known either consciously or unconsciously.
2. Your life purpose is unique to you. Others may use similar words to state their purpose but the expression of that purpose is different for each person.
3. Part of your life purpose includes the work that only you were meant to do. The world needs you to do it and if you choose not to, the world loses the benefit of that aspect of you.
4. When your goals and intentions are not consistent with your life purpose, they are difficult to achieve and result in fleeting gratification.
5. If you don't know your life purpose but believe you have one, then perhaps there is a part of you that knows that purpose. One way of finding your purpose includes discovering that part of you that knows your purpose.
6. When your work is aligned with your purpose it is easier to do and you attract more of it. (This is helpful for anyone who is marketing themselves. i.e. lawyers and job seekers.)
7. People often are fearful about finding their purpose. Often the fear concerns being forced to act on their life purpose. In fact everyone has the choice of whether to utilize that purpose or not. (See number 9)
8. Many people find their purpose accidentally. Some people find work and life experiences that use their purpose without really consciously knowing what that purpose is.
9. Some people choose to live a life without purpose. This may be a conscious choice or it could be because the person has other needs that have to be taken care of first i.e. food, shelter, safety.
10. Just because you find your purpose does not mean life will be without pain. Life has its ups and downs for everyone. Using your life purpose is a means to have a more satisfying life.
