Let’s Talk About Purpose

Some live every day of their life going day by day without no desire of knowing their purpose. Living life solely on survival and making money. Why is knowing your purpose so important? I’m glad you’re here and reading this to find out. Starting off let’s address what the word purpose means. Purpose: the reason for which something is done or created or for which something exists. Have you ever looked in the mirror or had the thought “Why am I here; why do I exist?” I can’t speak for everyone, but I myself have definitely had this thought. We’re not put on this Earth to simply just exist; we are put on this Earth to make an impact in the lives of others.

• Reasons it’s important to find your purpose:
  • It helps you live a meaningful and value-based life
  • It puts things in perspective of what’s important and what’s not
  • You’ll have a life full of passion, which will unlock your true potential 

• Ways you may discover your purpose:
  • Sometimes it will take tests and trials where you’ll find your purpose through an unpleasant time period in your life-health issues, divorce, unemployment, death of someone, etc.
  • Sometimes it’ll come from a conversation with someone you care about or maybe even a complete stranger; these people telling you what they appreciate most about you.
  • If you’re religious, it may come by seeking God for your purpose and him giving you direction and confirmation.
  • Sometimes it may just be simply a feeling within or a conversation with self.

I wouldn’t be completely truthful if I didn’t add in this next part. Sometimes your purpose in life can be something that you’re not comfortable with. Your true purpose in life can take you out of your comfort zone and for most of us that’s not a pleasant feeling. The bigger picture of it all will be revealed once you come to grips with it and life will be so much more worth it.

In life we are all assigned to people; people that you may not currently know. Seeking your purpose in life will lead you to those people you are assigned to. We are all put on this Earth to make a contribution to the world. I was once sitting in an expo, I was asked to reflect on a question. I want to leave it with you,  “What’s your reason for breathing?”

–Thank you for giving me your time. I hope this helped you in some way; look forward to our next talk!
