When was the last time you stopped to consider the purpose of your life? It’s not something most people spend a lot of time and effort to understand. And yet it can be a powerful and lasting experience. A clearly understood sense of purpose will keep you going when all else fails. Knowing your purpose can keep you motivated and full of energy. Your purpose is your vision. It is a goal that’s bigger than you are. It is the fundamental basis for your motivation.

Think of a time when you have been extremely satisfied with life and with your place in it. That was a time when you were closely connected to your purpose. Recall the times when you have seemed to flow effortlessly and joyfully through the world, letting go of all concerns and able to focus on the task at hand. It is at those times that you are in touch with your purpose.

Think of the positive and valuable things that people can truly depend upon you to do. Consider the activities you would engage in and the challenging work you would do if you did not have to work to make a living. That will help you to know your purpose.

All of your desires stem from your deep-down, fundamental values and purpose. The way to discover and understand them is to look for clues in the things that give you a sense of satisfaction, fulfillment and accomplishment. Knowing your purpose will help you to get motivated, energized and focused on all of life’s wonderful possibilities.
