3 Steps To Discovering The Purpose of Your Life Determining what our purpose is in life can be one of the hardest questions that we as humans must try to answer In this article we will be going through a step by step process exploring your feelings and options and by the end you should have a fairly solid tool you can immediately employ in your life to help give it a meaningful direction There are three steps to the process of discovering the purpose of your life Understanding the principle of choice Creating your underlying principle Aligning your life with this underlying principle Understanding The Principle of Choice Norman Vincent Peale has this to say about the power of choice The greatest power we have is the power of choice It is an actual fact that if you have been groping under unhappiness you can choose to be joyous instead And by effort lift yourself into joy If you tend to be fearful you can overcome that misery by choosing to have courage The whole trend and the quality of anyone s life is determined by the choices that are made Choosing is the most important activity of your mind because by making a choice you are proclaiming your desires to your subconscious mind Once the subconscious mind gets to know your desires it is going to do anything to manifest them in your life The choices you make in your life become your goal And if you are sincere in pursuing them there is no reason why you should not accomplish them Indecision on the other hand not only creates frustration and anxiety but can also confuse the subconscious mind about what you want But it is important that the choices you make are made by you in accordance with your true desires purposes and aptitude A lot of us let others make choices for us or make our choices according to what we think is correct even if that means that we go against our wishes What is right for someone else may not be right for you and the way to know this is listening to what your heart says So to begin with make a list of things which interest you things which you have always enjoyed which make you feel better which inspire you to surge ahead no matter what obstacles you face Do you like doing something creative or something artistic Do you enjoy nature Do you like the sea Do you enjoy helping others Do you get pleasure out of making a difference in other people s life Whatever it is that interests you write it down and answer these questions What thing do you love to do What is it that you love in this thing and why How could you do this for money and make a living out of it Creating Your Underlying Principle The next step is to examine the list you just made and find out if there is any recurring theme Maybe it is the contribution that keeps coming up or an effect to seek or give love or helping your parents cope with old age Whatever it is try to identify the central theme of the things you love to do and try to put it in a short and precise statement This will be your Mission Statement It may even be a quote by a famous person or a philosophy that has influenced you Of course as you grow up this statement could evolve but its soul will remain the same Now write down your Mission Statement Aligning Your LIFE With Your Underlying Principle The final step in this journey is to map your path to your ultimate purpose and to begin implementing changes that help to align your daily life with your underlying purpose By making these little changes in your lifestyle you will start to be able to begin living this principle out each and every day It might take a few days but by becoming aware and intentional of this underlying principle of your life you will certainly start to feel the difference in your enthusiasm for life as a whole If you realize that you love being amidst nature plan out your holiday Maybe an outing with your children could be enough to recoup with your energy If you discover that you enjoy helping those in need start to look for opportunities to volunteer in your community On the other hand you might even want to change your job or start a new business that is more in line with your mission So there you have it By following along with the steps outlined above you will be on your way to finding and living out your purpose And as you go through this process just remember You were put on this earth to achieve your greatest self to live out your purpose and to do it courageously Steve Maraboli
