How to Discover your Life's Purpose


How can you discover your life's purpose? Definitely, it’s not your career, your job, your hobbies etc. Absolutely, I just want to ask why do you exist here, because you have your own purpose in life right? You have your goals that you need to do before everything else turns out into nothing. If you are the kind of person who doesn’t believe that you have a goal in life, it’s okay. It won’t prevent you from knowing and realizing that you have purpose here in this world we are living to.

If you really want to know what your purpose in Life is, let me teach you some tips on what I have read from one of my favorite Journal writers (Steve Pavlina)

First, you must not think about anything. Make your mind blank from confusions, hatred and problems that are screaming on your mind.(Including the idea that you may have no purpose at all).

There are many ways to know your purpose in life. If you follow to the process, you will have more chance to expect it to work. It will not prevent on working as long as your mind is settle into it.

Here are the steps:

1.You can open a word processor here in your computer with a blank page.
2.Write at the top, “What is my real purpose in life?”
3.Write words that come into your mind reading that question.
4.Repeat step 3 until you write the answer that makes you cry. Absolutely, that is your purpose in life.

Done? You can cry and cry, it doesn’t matter if you are a strong man but believe me you do have a soft and a kind heart inside your true personality. I know that for other people this is stupidity, but I can only question them that have they tried it? Or are they really interested to know what their purpose in life is?

It’s okay if some of your words are similar, you may even re-write your previous answers. You can write down whatever comes into your mind. During the process, after writing many answers but still seeking or searching for the right answer you get tired, That’s normal but don’t stop, push yourself into writing, just focus and relax and be with your own self.

You may also discover some of the words you’ve written down that gave you a little bit of emotion but didn’t make you cry at all. Well, take note of those words; underline them as you go along. When you’re getting these kinds of words, it just means that you are getting deeper in the process. Go with it. Don’t stop.

I prefer that you need to do this alone so you can focus on yourself more. If you don’t believe it, I suggest that you start with “ My life is useless” or “I don’t have a purpose” then start over there.

My own personal experience in this test:

Before I started this test I locked my room, turn off the fan and everything. Everything around me is silence and I can’t believe it, my surroundings cooperated with me. It took me 15 mins. until I reached my real answer.

My final answer is : to give my family a wonderful life, to give love and not asking for any return and to live the life full of peace and happiness.

Knowing your purpose in life is the easy part. The hard part is making yourself in the path where your purpose is.

Just try this and only you is needed in this test.
