Simple Ways for Finding Purpose in life
It would seem that finding purpose in life is much harder than most people think it would be. I am sure that you would have noticed that whenever you ask some what their purpose in life is, they would just give you a very vague and faint list of goals or duties as if only to appease you for the moment. Their list would include things like: being a good parent, a good friend and a better person. and of course every single of these is important. But the problem is who wouldn’t want to become a great parent, a great friend and a great person? If you really want to find a real purpose or meaning in your life, a purpose which will fill you up with enthusiasm to the brim and also allow you to understand that you are living not just for yourself but for something bigger, then one will have to beyond the realm of generalities.
As quoted from Zig Ziglar in his book “Over the Top”: “You will never succeed as a wandering generality, you must become a meaningful specific.” Thus if one wants to find his real purpose in life and get really specific about it, here is a guideline for you to follow towards finding purpose in life.
The Number one step towards Finding Your Life Purpose
Firstly, one should let go of all the negative chatter and noise that is preventing him from ‘hearing’ the small little voice inside his heart. Although there are a lot of things and information which one can learn from outside sources and other people, when it comes to finding purpose in life, the person that one should always consult is himself and not anybody else. The thing here is because we have always been bombarded with other people’s opinions and ideas about the things way should be, we have become a lot insensitive to the little but true voice inside our heart.
The onus of personal growth and spiritual growth is on oneself no matter how many people tell you what you should or should not be doing with your life. The moment you have cut out and do away with all these things by choosing the thoughts you want to accept into your mind, you will be able to start focusing on the skills that will enable you to move towards finding your life purpose.
Start by listening to Yourself
I guess the most important thing which one can possibly do to start building self-awareness and finding purpose in life is to start listening to thyself, and the best and most efficient way to achieve this is to keep a daily diary of the thoughts that go through your mind. Benjamin Franklin, one of the greatest inventors once said: “If you’re not to be forgotten when you’re dead and rotten, either do things worth writing about or write things worth reading about.” This quote has been repeated over and over again throughout the years and must have been accepted widely by a lot of other great achievers in history as most of them were actually great writers who organized and kept tracks of their thoughts and reflections in their letters and diaries.
The reason behind this is that writing is actually a focused exercise for the mind and it enables one to clarify the random thoughts that always go round in your mind which might possibly drive you crazy for most of the day. Start writing these thoughts down and also the answers to similar questions like “What is the one most important thing that I want people to remember me for centuries to come?” or “What is the one most important thing that I want to achieve before my death?”. Once you start asking yourself these questions and hone your skill of understanding your own thoughts and processes, the answers will get clearer and clearer as the time goes by.
And lastly…
Finding Purpose in Life By Chasing After It
Jack London, one of the greatest writers whom ever lived, once said: “You can’t wait for inspiration to come to you, you must go after it with a club.” This is also true when it comes to finding meaning in life, as one has to start by accepting certain thoughts into your mind and looking for information and materials which will aid you towards further understanding your own desires. If you have been wanting to do something with your life or improve it, you can be 100% sure that someone else probably have the same thought too and have either done it themselves or something similar to you.
So allow yourself in your quest towards manifesting abundance to become an avid reader and researcher of the things you would be interested in, and coupled with your daily journaling you will be able to find your purpose in life in just a matter of time.
One should not only learn how to manifest abundance into their lives, but also learn
