Purpose of Life: Are You Ready to Stop Wasting Your Life as You Finally Discover Your Life Purpose?

By: Matthew DeSilva

If you’re confused about the purpose of life, the simple way to solve this issue is to decide it’s time for you to finally plan out your life’s true mission.

The best reason for why most people are existing without purpose is because they’ve never taken time out to think life through. Most people are surviving at jobs or careers they “fell in to”. Most people are living mundane, tiresome lives without feeling the excitement they should be.

Most people are living with a strong sense of dread or fear instead of knowing the true meaning of life to have fun.

That’s correct, life is indeed supposed to be fun. Unfortunately, you may have been told along the way that you were supposed to be miserable all day long. Nothing could be further from being accurate.

Let’s take a look at three blessings that come with understanding and living your Life Purpose. Then, we’ll take a look at three tips to aid you in beginning this process.

Your Personal Philosophy

The number one benefit to working toward your own purpose of life is that you outline your Personal Philosophy. Your Personal Philosophy comes down to how you judge life. It’s the yardstick by which you view the universe you exist in.

This is where you write down the morals, values, and principles by which you will live by. There’s a big difference in the Life Purpose of a person valuing honesty and integrity as opposed to the person who doesn’t mind lying and cheating now and then.

Like many other people, you may very well be living a life today that doesn’t match up with your Personal Philosophy. Does your job have you doing things that go against your principles and morals? Have you allowed a friend, family member, or spouse to steer you in directions that have you violating your values?

Getting your Personal Philosophy in focus will let you make life decisions quite easily from the viewpoint of principles that you hold highly.

Your Vision

As your Life Purpose comes squarely into focus, your entire life vision changes. Instead of existing in life “by accident” and praying things work out OK, you now see clearly how each decision affects you now and in the future.

With your purpose of life mapped out, you no longer accept anything that violates that vision and purpose. Imagine the difference in your quality of life when you make choices based on personal truth rather than anything else society may be implying you do.

Making a Difference

Since most people in today’s society are trapped in "exist mode", they have relinquished all thoughts of “purpose” or living with “intention”.

However, when you decide to finally raise yourself above this and work on yourself in order to realize your Life Purpose, you’ll uncover that your discovery of your true reason for being alive will end up in a life where you make a difference to those around you.

Finding your Life Purpose is magical. It comes with a sense of meaning. It allows you to effect positive change on a world in need of such a thing. It allows you to finally stop saying, “someday” and to start living “now”. You help others “now”… you make a difference “now”.

What a joyous way to live!

Look Within

Now that you’ve read about three of the many benefits you’ll get when you invest the time to find your purpose of life, let’s take a look at three procedures that will guide you along this journey.

The first thing you need to understand is that you’re not going to find the answers to your Life Purpose by searching outside of yourself. Just the opposite, this is when you need to start finding quiet time where you can focus within for the answers to your personal purpose of life.

This is not only a personal growth path, but a spiritual growth process as well. You’re working on learning about your inner self and the lessons this higher self can teach you. You may want to invest time in learning about the various meditation methods in order to help you focus within.

Focus on Your Inner Child

Going back to your childhood is an important aspect to finding the purpose of life. There was a magical time at some point in your childhood when you saw life as magical, special, joyous, and amazing. This view of life had nothing to do with achievement or validation from others.

At one point, you were filled with joy and wonder just for being alive. This is the place you want to get yourself back in touch with!

Begin focusing on all that you enjoyed as a child. Think through your interests, the games you loved to play, the hobbies you participated in, etc. Begin brainstorming about everything that makes you happy simply “because” and you’re getting nearer to your own purpose of life.

Write it Down

Something happens when you decide to get your thoughts down on paper. It becomes more real to you. It has a much larger effect on your mind than when you only think about it. Therefore, make sure you write down your innermost feelings and thoughts as you start to focus on discovering your Life Purpose.

You’ve learned three benefits of understanding the purpose of life and three ways you can start working on your own Life Purpose. While there are literally dozens of steps necessary to work on in this process, these three should help you get started.
