What's your purpose in life?

Hello once again!

While I apologize for an extremely late post, I really hope this post finds you well. Now that summer has started, I have plenty of free time to get back to my writing.

Last few weeks I’ve done a lot of thinking about what’s our own true purpose in life. Ask yourself, do you have a reason to wake up in the morning? Do you have something in your life which motivates you? Are you being the best version of yourself? If you find yourself without a plan, you might find it difficult to cope. Sometimes we take ourselves for granted but truly, there’s so much more that one can do to improve one’s self. One thing I know is that it’s never too late!

I used 45 minutes of last week asking myself what I want to improve in my life and what is my true purpose in life. The best way to do this exercise is to clear your mind, get a piece of paper and a pencil, and write whatever comes to your mind. Ask yourself what can I do to be a better version of myself? It may seem utterly stupid but at the end it will make perfect sense if you take it seriously. Everybody’s answers will be different from one another since each one of us has a different character and goal.

For example a few of my points/answers were :

to think before I speak
to awaken the happy spirit within others
to forgive
to make life worth living
to set priorities
to be fearless and courageous
to appreciate more
to enjoy the little things

If you’re a cynical person, then feel free to start with the answer, ‘I don’t have a purpose,’ or ‘Life's meaningless,’ and take it from there. If you keep at it, you’ll still eventually assemble a long list as you will realize there is so much you can do to improve your life. You can list whatever answer pops into your head. While writing, you will notice that some answers will make more sense than the others so highlight them, as each piece reflects your purpose. You will know when you are ready as you will keep on repeating the same answers you've highlighted. When you find your own unique answer to the question of why you’re here, you will feel it echo within you. Obviously, this exercise will not work if you quit it before you’ve even cleared your mind.

Discovering your purpose is the easy part. The hard part is keeping it on a daily basis and working on yourself until you’ve reached your goals.

Give it a try! Good luck at it! I’d love to hear your experiences! Let me know how it went by leaving any comments or feedback.

Until next time,

Tamika
