Have you ever wondered why you are here on earth? Have you ever wondered who you are or what your purpose is and where to go from here?
Finding your purpose in life is part of being human. There will always be a time when we wonder whether we’re giving our best. Whether there is something else we could be doing.
I woke up this morning with this thought in my heart. Everybody wants to succeed in life, and I as a person, want to die knowing that I did my best.
I don’t know what you’re feeling right now, but as a person, you’ll feel unsatisfied if you don’t have a life of meaning.
How to find your purpose and direction in life
It is important that you know your identity and your source so that you can know your purpose. If you doubt having a clear identity and know what you are and what you were created for, you will never take the necessary actions to become what else is possible for you.
Many of us grew up in a culture that has trained us wrongly, to believe that we are not capable, of so much more. I believed as a 15year old when I was told, I could never have my own thing or be a leader because I was a girl.
You have to believe in yourself, despite what people say or do around us. I know deep down you’re convinced that you can create a better life and get that dream or desire.
There is a secret to having the life you want and finding your purpose – Follow success principles.
You and I are responsible for the life that we create. Yes, God is a good God, he wants you to have everything you want, but the challenge is that there is a part that you have to play. He will watch over you, to see that his word is fulfilled, but you must believe it enough and do the work necessary to achieve it.
You have seen correctly when you imagine what you want to achieve and what you want to become. Next let’s talk about the answer to the question, what is my purpose?
Your purpose is someone you must become.
When I first started thinking about purpose, it was so confusing because everyone kept saying, it is something you find or discover.
Until I had a mew understanding that my purpose is already in me, it is not something you should be looking for, but someone you need to become. Your purpose is a finished work
Now the challenge of becoming takes a lot of work and discipline. This is where you need coaching. It’s not enough to want something or to know what you need to do, you must take the necessary actions for you to see the outcome you want.
What you are, is your identity. It is what you already are. If you don’t like who you are or the things you’re manifesting in life, you can choose to renew your mind and change your beliefs so that you can rewrite your story.
When you think about your life, what frightens you? What frustrates you? What do you wish you can create or become?
Success or failure in life is a result of the decisions you make. So this means you can change what you have and experience in life by choosing to manifest a different perspective.
Imagine a desire, what do you want?
What if you are already a finished work of art? It is very true, that nothing is impossible with God.
This means your end was established before your beginning. You were finished before you were created. This is the mindset that helps you create anything you want.
So the question for you today, is what do you want so badly? If you have 1 year to live how will you spend the year? What will you focus on? Write down the first thing you thought of first.
You must think like a child, in other to overcome fear and believe the impossible. Success means thriving not surviving. When you find what you want you will find success.
In the end, the only thing that makes you happy is a life of meaning, a life doing what you want.
Do you find yourself going back and forth on a desire? Did you settle for something lower than you deserve? Do you struggle with your inner convictions wondering like I wondered this morning, what else could I be doing?
Do you need help, out of your comfort zone? I want to encourage you to open yourself to receive this perspective so that you can have peace, joy, and fulfillment. Step out of the familiar.
Focus on your gift and talents. The things you can do without thinking, the things you do without feeling it, make you lose track of time, if you knew that you have 3 days to live this is what you will still be doing.
5 Questions for finding your purpose
“I don’t know who I am or what to do. I feel lost like the world is just passing me by.” This is the way many people feel, especially in these unprecedented times, with a lot going on. We all have times when we ask ourselves questions, and we wonder what if, but it can be hard to find an answer that feels right for us.
Finding your purpose in life doesn’t have to be difficult or stressful. I want to share five questions that can help you start if you’re wondering what your purpose could be and how to go about finding it!
The late Myles Munroe talked about 5 questions that can help you and I figure out our life purpose
- Who am I? (identity)
- Where am I from? (source)
- Why am I here? (purpose)
- What can I do? (potential)
- Where am I going? (destiny)
Who am I?
Every person has 3 parts, your soul, you’re your body, and your spirit. Your soul consists of your will, emotion, and mind. Your identity is what you see…
It doesn’t matter that you’re not experiencing it yet. You must believe that what you saw is correct.
Affirming this in your heart, means you are aligning with God’s purpose for your life. The creator’s original purpose for your life brings fulfillment to you.
What if you can create anything that you can imagine, what will it be?
The great minds of the world, used their imaginative faculty, create ideas or plans that never excited. It could be from observations, or creativity, or thoughts from others.
You need to have a strong desire and train your mind to be consistent and focused on what you want. Your brain and imagination will become stronger with use
It is possible that in the past you never had time to think and reflect, on what you are allowing or choosing to allow in your life.
Who is my source
Knowing that God is your source will help you override negative emotions of fear, shame, and guilt. Having a source means that you believe in something or someone. Your source is who you believe can change your life.
This is someone that is bigger than your ability. Every person believes in someone bigger than them. I believe in God. Possibilities created from principles.
Why am I here?
What are you capable of? When you were a child, what did you dream or imagine, do you remember?
I remember buts, it comes to me in flashes, I remember one which is to be an evangelist of the message of freedom. I want to be wealthy enough to help girls and women in 3rd world countries.
What can you do?
You can uncover that from your gifts, skills, and your experiences. That disadvantage, difficulty, and pain that you overcame is a story that will help someone else.
You are not a mistake, despite your current circumstances, there is greatness in your future. It’s not too late to begin again. What do you imagine yourself as, or what do you want to get?
Where are you going?
There is life beyond death. You are not just here on earth, to eat, sleep, make friends, work, enjoy a vacation, raise kids…there is something greater after death. It’s called eternal life…
When you know where you are going, what you can do, why you are here, who your source is, and who you are you would have found your purpose and understood what you want.
Finally, if you’re not sure what you want to do with your life, maybe you’ve been working at a job that doesn’t make you happy, and you feel like there is something more out there for you. you can create something different if you find your purpose.
When you go on this journey you will understand who you are and where you came from. And when you can understand your past, present, and future, you can know yourself much better, and decide on what direction you want your life to go.
You will figure out – Who you are. Where you’re from. Why you’re here. What you can do, and Where you’re going. By answering these five questions about yourself, you will have a guide to a life path of fulfillment and happiness.
