Most people have not spend enough time to seek and
find their purpose in life. The majority of people in the world are still surviving
and struggling to make a living. Most of them don’t have the luxury of thinking
about their purpose in life. It seems to them that their purpose in life is simply
to put food on the table and make sure there is a shelter above their heads.
For those of you who have fulfilled all your
survival needs, you are most probably seeking to lead a meaningful, purposeful
and fulfilling life. Have you find your purpose in life?
First of all, what do we mean when we talk about our
purpose in life? Purpose in life is basically the intrinsic desire in people to
have a positive impact on themselves and circle of influence, and to share
their values and passion with others. Everybody has a universal need for
purpose, a sense of accomplishment and happiness in their relationships, workplaces and life.
So how can you seek and find your purpose in life? Firstly,
start by making a full inventory of all the assets you possess, not just
financial assets. Determine what are your strengths, skills and talents. Know who your loved ones, friends and network of
contacts are, and who you can count on. Determine what really matters for you i.e. your top priorities and passion.
Secondly, know what a meaning, purposeful and
fulfilled life would look and feel like at the end of your life. You can
visualize yourself at your eightieth birthday. All your loved ones and friends
have gathered together to celebrate your birthday. Imagine your partner in life
speaking to the gathering and telling everybody how you are as a partner.
Similarly imagine what your son or daughter, best friend, ex-boss, neighbour,
and someone your have helped would say about you at that occasion. Of course,
you have to feel tears of joy in your eyes and happiness in your heart from
what you imagine hearing from all these people. If you write it all down, you
would certainly know what your core values are.
By knowing all your assets, priorities, passion, and
core beliefs and values, you can then formulate your mission statement and
purpose in life.
My purpose in life is to become my best in all
aspects of my life in order to help out my loved ones and circle of influence
with love and gratitude, without imposing my views and beliefs on them.
