Many people ask what is my PURPOSE IN LIFE? What should I do with my life? What are my goals, my dreams for my future?
The search for the purpose of life has puzzled people for thousands of years.
What is Purpose?
According to Webster, Purpose is something set up as an object or end to be attained : INTENTION. It also means aim, ambition, aspiration, plan and etc.
So what is really our purpose in life? Does the mere meaning of purpose answer our questions?
Defining a purposeful life
Life with a purpose can be defined differently for different people, same with how each and every people define their own happiness. In general it indicates that you have an aim in life and goals.
If you want to live a purposeful life, you're going to have to find and define your own purpose in life.
How do you find your purpose in life?
So how do you find your purpose? Not by sitting in a chair and waiting all day long before this purpose finds you. No, you find it by not doing the same things over and over again but by doing something new and taking actions.
Some people also think that they had found their purpose by fulfilling their dreams and aspirations such as:
1. Providing for one's family
2. Travelling the world
3. Living a successful life
4. Meeting new friends and enjoying those around you
5. Etc
To make the long story short: No one can dictate if you have lived your purpose in life. Only YOU, yourself can answer that. As long as your happy and contented with how you are living your life, who you are sharing and enjoying your life with.
Living life with a purpose is an important and fundamental factor of happiness. If you want to live your life purposefully, you have to find your own purpose in life. Once you find it, you will be able to steer and control your life in the best direction possible. And that's the direction where long-term happiness can be found!
I'd love to hear from you now. What's your purpose in life? How do you live a purposeful life?
