In fact, it is at the core of living a life filled with joy, happiness, energy, zest and peace. If you live such a life, everything has meaning.
On the other hand, if your feelings about life in general are that of discontent, anxiety, frustration, anger, boredom, numbness or despair, you are not living a purpose driven life.
Before we look at how to find your life purpose, we need to take a look at...
How NOT to find it...
Most people who are looking for their life purpose want to find it by "seeking it"...chasing it so to speak…thinking that once they have achieved their life purpose, they would be happy.
It is the same flawed mindset that is so common in our society today. The mindset of "If I can just have, be or achieve this or that, then I would be fulfilled and happy". "If I can just get that job, car, romance, money, and for that matter, my purpose in life, then I will be happy and fulfilled."
Why is this mindset flawed? Because it is a mindset of finding fulfillment, happiness and purpose OUTSIDE of yourself. It tells you that you first need to achieve, do or have something in the future before you can be happy.
It’s a mindset that’s missing the point. And it will not get you to living a purpose driven life.
So how do we get to living a purpose driven life? The answer is surprisingly simple...
Turn The Equation Around...Live a Purpose Driven Life NOW!!
Instead of trying to find your life purpose, rather find purpose in the life you live NOW. Your purpose in life will follow soon. Living a purpose driven life is as simple as that.
In other words, find the joy and purpose in everything you do. Whatever you are doing right now (reading this article) is your purpose at this moment of your life. If you get dressed in the morning, that becomes your purpose at that moment. If you eat or make a meal, then that becomes your purpose.
The keyword here is JOY. Find the joy in everything you do and the things that you find joyful will become more in your life.
Here is an article on conscious living that will tell you exactly how to do that.
Your life purpose is not to be found somewhere in the future. It is here and now.
Here is an article on how to say YES to life!
Doing Things Just For the Love of It...
Instead of being the best IN the world start being the best FOR the world. Instead of finding the things you love to do, start loving the things you are doing right now…and just do it for the love of it!
This video clip by Dewitt Jones "For The Love Of It" will give you a better understanding of what we are talking (or should I say writing) about.
Where Do We Start?
A good place to start is to write down a list of your five biggest talents. Now choose two of those that you enjoy the most.
Take those two talents and give something of it away to someone every day for the next month. For example, if your talent is admin and administration, volunteer to help someone else organize their things.
Or if it is to paint, paint a picture for someone and give it away as a gift.
Or if you are an energetic individual, bring some energy into someone’s life.
We all have something to offer to the world. Do the above-mentioned things just for the love of it for one month and you will be astounded at what’s coming your way.
It will let the light shine from WITHIN you!! And that will lead you right to living a purpose driven life!
