Do you know your life’s purpose?
Most people recognize the need to get clear when they hit
a point where they recognize they haven’t truly focused on
themselves or their own goals. This often happens at pivotal
moments – something creates a pause in their usual activity.
A job or relationship loss. Becoming an empty-nester. Feeling
burnt out or unsatisfied and deciding to start over more
intentionally. Many life transitions bring this question to the
forefront.
Exploring your life’s purpose doesn’t have to be a struggle
and the payoffs for discovering it are big. Not only are the
rest of your days more exciting and fulfilling, but it makes life
easier, more exciting, and satisfying. The nagging feeling that
you should be doing something else with your life dissipates.
Imagine being excited to see each day unfold! Don’t spend
your week waiting for the weekend. Below are a few reasons
why discovering your life’s purpose is worth your time and
energy.
Your path is clear so it’s easier to plan your day. Most fill
their days with mundane and obligatory tasks. Without
a clear objective and purpose, it’s easy to veer off course.
Your life’s purpose is compelling, so distractions are easy to
resist. Your ability to focus is enhanced when you know your
purpose, therefore, you’re much less likely to take a detour out
of confusion about what’s right for you. Ease and joy prevail
when you know exactly what you want to achieve each day.
It’s easier to make good choices. Your purpose is the
overriding consideration. Decisions are much easier when
you clearly understand what you’re trying to accomplish. Your
list of essential goals, objectives and mission are well-defined,
making saying no to the wrong things without guilt, a breeze.
You have more fun. For most people a fun activity is simply
a pleasant distraction. When you know your purpose, the
activities and goals associated are more enjoyable. Knowing
you’re living the life you’re supposed to is the ultimate source
of pleasure. Imagine having fun achieving goals!
You make meaningful progress with enthusiasm. You feel
more motivated and experience less internal resistance.
Knowing your purpose unleashes your enthusiasm, passion
and emotion. Those feelings are clues that you’re living your
purpose. Are you enthusiastic about work each day? You will
be when it’s your passion and purpose. Happiness is largely
the result of making progress toward meaningful goals and
living on purpose. Setting and achieving goals becomes
natural, easy and exciting.
You’re more interesting to be around. Your social life may
improve because others want to be around you, your energy,
and your enthusiasm. Have you ever known someone
who was clearly pursuing what they wanted from life?
It’s exciting to be around them. You become much more
magnetic when your life has clear direction. People want to
be in your energy field because you emit ease, joy, passion
and enthusiasm when asked about your work. You may
even prompt them to follow their own passion because your
excitement is contagious.
Your creativity is amplified. Pursuing anything meaningful
involves overcoming obstacles. When you’re fully energized,
your creativity is effortlessly enhanced. You’ll be surprised
by your new resourcefulness and ability to solve problems
from a fresh perspective.
The world is full of people drifting through life without
a clear purpose. Most have never taken the time to discern
what they truly want their life to be about. It’s a sad omission,
because of the myriad benefits and joy of knowing and living
your life purpose.
If you’re not yet clear on your life’s purpose, schedule time
to give it some serious thought. You’ll enjoy contentment,
liberation and tranquility - the top three feelings we all
desire. You only have one life to live, make it exciting and
fulfilling!
