13 Practical Ways To Discover Your Purpose and Live a Life You Love

Get More Action

You can’t think your way into finding your life purpose; you have to do your way into

it. Take a mental note from Nike and Just Do It. The more we act, the more we get clear on things. So instead of overthinking it —

Will this work out? Should I try that? What if I don’t like it? What if I don’t make money

at it? Start taking steps toward your goals and start trying new thingss.

What were you passionate about as a child?

What did you find emotionally fulfilling when you were younger? From writing to building figurines, children

are actively encouraged to follow their passions. However, we often stop doing the things we were

passionate about as a child. Often this is due to a lack of time, or pressure from society to pursue something

that comes with a (often financial) reward.

Consider your childhood passions. Do you still practice your childhood passions? If not, why? Would you still

feel passionately about the same things now?

If you didn’t have a job, how would you choose to fill those hours?

If you didn’t have to work and you weren’t allowed to stay in the house, how would you choose to spend that time? Where would you go? In the evenings, many people like to relax and unwind. However,

unlimited free time often encourages people to fill the time in a productive manner. Write down a few ways

you would spend your free time, and then try one out on your next day off.

What makes you forget about the world around you?

When you are working on your life purpose, you often completely lose track of time.

Often people don’t notice the hours passing by, and can even forget to eat or drink until

they have finished. When is the last time you felt this way?

What kind of conversations do you have with your closest friends?

Most of the time when you are with your loved ones, you only discuss subjects that you actually find interesting and fun. Are there any subjects that you repeatedly bring up to talk about? This

is often a great indicator of your life purpose.

If you had a dream, could you make it happen?

Many people have dreams, but choose not to pursue them due to the financial risks or fear of failure. Start

thinking about your dream in a more positive light, asking yourself ‘How can I make this happen?’ instead

of telling yourself you won’t succeed.

Try to let go of negative thoughts that could hold you back from achieving your life purpose. Instead, try and do something every week that helps you to make your

dreams come true.

IF YOU KNEW YOU WERE GOING TO DIE ONE YEAR FROM TODAY, WHAT WOULD YOU DO AND HOW

WOULD YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED?

GUN TO YOUR HEAD, IF YOU HAD TO LEAVE THE HOUSE ALL DAY, EVERY DAY, WHERE WOULD

YOU GO AND WHAT WOULD YOU DO?

What most people don’t understand is that passion is the result of action, not the cause

of it

HOW ARE YOU GOING TO SAVE THE WORLD?

To live a happy and healthy life, we must hold on to values that are greater than our

own pleasure or satisfaction.1

So pick a problem and start saving the world. There are plenty to choose from.

Write down what activities (or activity) in life gives you more energy than you put in.

These are the activities where you can completely max out and use up your physical

energy, and by doing so, you create more energy, making you simply want to do more. These activities “feel right,” and even though

you work intensely on them, it feels effortless. The tough times, no matter how tough, are worthwhile. It’s never a matter of “if” these activities will produce the right results, but

“when.”

Ask yourself what you’d do if there were no limitations.

What if I told you there were no limits – only the ones you keep placing on yourself stopping you from

moving forward. For this exercise create two columns on a piece of paper, with your main goal at the top. In

the first column write down a list of ways you WILL complete the goal; the second column is for all the

things that stop you from reaching the goal. BUT you don’t need to write anything there because every time you do think of something that will hold you back just shout “NEXT!” Then write another way you CAN get

there. Then execute.

What is one great thing you would dare to dream if you could not fail?

If your dream is to make a big change in the world for the betterment of humanity, what makes you think you can’t. Try getting to the core of your fears then work on eliminating

them one by one.

If you had all the money in the world what would

you do?

Make a list, kind of like a bucket list, and see what amazing things you would be doing. Where would you go? What

kind of lifestyle would you live?
