How To Find Your Purpose

Finally I spilled the magic portion and now I am about to show you how to actually create one. Are you excited? Because certainly I am!

Just yesterday I revealed the most important WHY it's time for you to discover your purpose. Let's be real. It's already 2024. The clock is ticking and if it's not now, then when is it?

Cutting to the chase on "how to find your purpose" is the main question right now:

Volunteering

There's a reason why this is one of the 1st act you should indulge yourself fully in if you're really serious about living a successful and a fulfilling life. You wouldn't believe this once you are on the ground of giving your presence, your time, your selfless effort to something or someone without expecting anything in return (this is the main HACK) something within your being shifts dramatically!

You are now opening your heart, your senses and your being which can really be the catalyst to your discovery here. But why is that so? You see when you are out of your usual day to day routine, out of your "usual" space or let's just say when you're out of your comfort zone, something happens. Everything amazing can only happen when you're out of your own circle right? This is a FACT!

Therefore when you are within a community, individuals or even societies that are out of your usual sight. This can really have a drastic opening or I would say an awakening for your entire being. It triggers a realization for discovering what really matters to you at the end of the day when you're hitting your bed.

Volunteering sounds simple but trust me ask anyone who has done it sincerely and genuinely and they would say this:

"The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others." — Gandhi.

Journaling

Not going to lie since I discovered the habit of journaling and how it can change your life tremendously for good. I became an addict to it for real!

The most ironic part is how journaling always find its way to every corner of my life or should I say this? How I always find my way back to journaling? Hmm either way this can really help you to discover your life's purpose. Your soul's purpose.

Never ever underestimate the power of writing down your strengths, your skills, your talents and everything that makes you happy and alive from within because this is where the magic happens! Let's get into the details:

Purpose is a reason. Purpose is a why. Purpose is the reason why you're doing what you're doing. Purpose should be the reason you get up happily and look forward to your day. Purpose is something that gets you out of your bed even without the presence of your alarm clock. In simple term purpose is the oxygen you look forward to inhaling because it fulfils your soul.

Does it makes sense? I believe it should. (haha)

So once you start identifying the areas of your life that can be a source of your living. BOOM! This is where the magic starts unfolding because now all you have to do is find a way to provide value to the world out there using your purpose. What happens here?

You're doing what you love every single day as well as your work contributes to the wellness of the world! Isn't that amazing? Now you're just not working for the "paycheck" because now you're working for something beyond yourself. Because now you believe you could move mountains and create a better world just through your presence. Yes you can, I believe in you! The main question is do you believe in yourself?

Surround your being with the "right" people whom is already on the pathway that you wish to be on

A song by SpünDay contains a lyric that fits so well with this:

"Show me your friends and I will show you your future."

Exactly! Now you know the drill. In order for you to discover and make a living out of your purpose, you have to put yourself in situations that allows your being to meet the right people. Here's the most important point:

The right people not in terms of just being extremely successful, wealthy and famous but the right people which matches the area you'd like to specialize in. The right people whom are truly successful making a living out of their purpose and contributing to the wellness of our society. That is the right people you should surround yourself with.

These people are like gems. So rare. Therefore you have to learn how to get access to them and with the online world everything becomes so much viable today. For instance if you cannot directly meet them physically due to geographical distance and et cetera but you can always learn from their programs, podcast, videos or anything that includes their presence. Then there's something for you to extract from that piece of gem and start crafting your way towards your purpose. (YES IT IS POSSIBLE. I AM A LIVING PROOF OF IT)

I promise you even if you just take one small step at least there's effort from your side. If you do this consistently then I promise you eventually the pathway would be revealed to you for you. Just do it. As Warren Buffet always says:

"You have two choices. Make excuses or make progress. The choice is yours."

Go deep within

As they always say "save the best for the last" so here we go! I promise to keep this short. The only way for you to dive deep within yourself is definitely through solitude.

When you're all by yourself in complete silence then it's time for you to ask yourself some pretty brutal straight-forward questions such as:

Am I content with my life?Do I feel like there's something more I can achieve from this lifetime?Is there a potential within my being that I've not tap into?Apart from a stable income job but let's be real. Does this job makes me happy, alive and fulfilled at the end of the day?

There's so much more you can discover when you start asking the "right" questions to yourself. The main key is for you to get to know your soul from its core by being really honest with yourself for once. Something that truly helped me is meditation and here's how you do it. Before I leave, let me ask you this:

You only live once and if you've only one shot, how are you planning to use it?
