Determine Your Life’s Purpose

What brings you happiness? What fills you with joy and passion? Think about this for a second. Perhaps you have all these things that you love, but you fail to make any progress toward achieving them because of all the other tasks that you have to accomplish each day. It's okay because you're not alone! You can start living a more fulfilling life by finding your passion by determining your life's purpose. Here's how:

 I. Keep a journal. Hopefully you have already done this to list down your past accomplishments and to keep track of the fears that you've eliminated. Now it's time to take that journal and write down why you think you're on Earth, the things in life that your passionate about, and what brings you joy. This journal is just for you, so don't try to be perfect and instead just get your thoughts out. Be 100% honest with yourself while discussing the things that you want to do with your life and it will help you determine your life path.

II. Dive deeper into your interests. Discuss the times where you have been truly happy. Write about the people who are most interesting to you. Discuss how you like to spend your time. Do you have any role models? What would you do if you only had one week to live? These prompts will help you determine the things that you are truly passionate about so that you can fill more of your time with that.

III. Discuss the people and places that you love. This will explain where your heart lies while bringing your closer to learning about the life you want to live. What would you be doing if you had no limitations? When you focus on what you love you uncover passions that go deeper than the things that you value with reason.

IV. Plan backwards. What would your ideal life be from 100 years old to now? How would you spend your time? What things would you achieve? Write down everything you want to do in order to live a life of passion. Somewhere in the process is your life passion. After you have written about the topics listed above, then you'll be able to make goals for your life. Some of your goals you'll accomplish tomorrow. Some might only be possible in the long-term. With enough focus, dedication, and time, you'll be able to achieve the life that brings you fulfillment.
