There is a question that is very much central to our lives. But somehow many of us are not focusing on that question. The question is finding your true purpose in life.
To my understanding, this basic question of life is not addressed by people just because of extreme distractions that people have become accustomed to.
We continue living a life in the hope that the next coming day will be better. But when it comes to narrowing down on the direction in which we believe our journey should proceed. We are clueless.
This can be an increasingly difficult question if we are living a life of mediocrity. The problem with mediocrity is that you never feel the requirement of doing extreme things. You are content with the average life.
The Process of Finding the Right Purpose
The question of finding purpose can also become easy for that person who spends more time with himself. That person can very well examine his skills, understanding level, and worldview. The combination of all this will result in him doing what is required and what is essential.
So, my short formula for finding purpose in life is to better understand the person you are. When you understand yourself you can then understand the belief system that you carry. This will be the first step towards finding your purpose.
But this will not be the last!
The Process of Self Evaluation
You will then need a constant evaluation of your thoughts, ideas, and notions of life by increasing your knowledge about your chosen domain.
This becomes the hardest step for people to carry forward as it requires patience and persistence.
During this process of self-evaluation, there will be one tiny little magical moment when your heart will suddenly speak to you in a loud and clear manner about your true purpose and after that, there will be no looking back!
