Knowing How To Find My Purpose In Life

By Margaret Reynolds


Many people think that we are just here to live our daily lives and there is no purpose in life. You may help someone now and again and this will bring you a reward, but it doesn't mean that you are saving the world. But this isn't necessarily true. One must look towards something. Many people ask how to find my purpose in life.

A lot of people start to ask this question when they have come to the point where they are feeling a little depressed. They may have reached a point in their lives where nothing has gone right. There may be a time when you have felt a failure because of a relationship that has not worked out or because of the loss of a loved one.

It can have something to do with religion or general philosophy at a particular point in your life. This can happen from time to time. Yet some people will take a long time to get here becoming more and more depressed because they can't seem to find their purpose. Some people think that they have a big mission and they have not been drawn to this.

Other people feel that they just want that perfect family or the ideal job to make them happy. One must realize that you have a purpose by simply being here. Everyone has a part to play. You don't have to be a Queen or a King to serve your purpose. However, you have to take action to serve or to find the thing that you enjoy which would, in turn help others as well.

Once you have found the thing that you are passionate about, you also have to carefully find the job that is going to give you the most joy. You also need something that won't do more harm than good. For example, there may be people who are extremely passionate about helping people in their therapy program. However, it is easy to get burned out.

An example of this is a chef who loves to be creative with food. However, they will know that because of the long hours, it is not easy to maintain relationships. This is something that they have to work on. They will have to employ strategies or they can start their own business from home. Neglecting to follow your dream can lead to a lot of regrets when you are older.

You also need to ask yourself how you are going to help others and the people you are willing to help. This has to do with the thing that you are most passionate in life. For example, the artist will love what they do which can be something creative. They will want others to see how amazing this can be. Something like art therapy can help people who have had strokes. It can help trauma patients or children.

For example, if you enjoy children, you will find that there are lots of opportunities to be able to guide kids or to teach them. You can specialize in something. Some people want to start their own child psychology practice. You may even just want to focus on your own kids. This is doable.
