Want to Find Your Purpose? 5 Questions to Ask Yourself

Every person is born with purpose

“The purposes of a person’s heart are deep waters, but one who has insight draws them out” (Proverbs 20:5). 

All people are made in the image of God. Each of us are born with a purpose and calling that we can discover or completely miss.  Your purpose is not outside of you, it’s inside!  First, you must understand who you are, because you are here to be you, there is no one else like you! You are here to embrace all of who you are and to bring your energy and let you light shine onto the world.

Here are 5 questions to ask yourself to get started!

ACTION STEPS

  1. What is it that you love to do? Think as far back as a child and what you liked to do, write down everything you can think of, it doesn’t have to be fancy, just a simple list.
  2. What are you passionate about that you are willing to struggle for to attain it?
  3. What are you so engrossed in that time just seems to fly when you are doing it and you get so caught up in it that you don’t have time to eat or even go to the bathroom and you want to cancel all of your appointments for the day?
  4. What do you want people to remember about you or what desires do you have to be an impact on the world?
  5. Fast forward to the end of your life, what is it that you would like to leave as a legacy for yourself?

Of course there are a lot more questions to ask but these are a few to get you started and thinking about it.  I will continue to add more questions in another post…standby!

Remember to believe in yourself!  Rome wasn’t built in a day, so don’t get overwhelmed or anxious about figuring out how to fulfill your purpose in a day.  Each day is a gift, and use it wisely if you want to manifest your purpose, passion and dreams.  Little by little, step by step it will happen.

I must stress again that everything doesn’t have to be perfect, don’t be too hard on YOU.  DON’T WAIT, THE TIME IS NOW!  I’m guilty of this,  I would wait until I was all set in how I thought things should be, I pondered and would fret over it! I finally decided to just let go and be the best I could be even if something wasn’t designed good or sound good as I told myself I was being too much of a perfectionist! I was afraid of what people would say or judge me.

Of course we know, we are always going to be judged so you might as well just accept that!   Don’t let it hinder you and your calling!  I realized there will always be someone who is more educated, who makes things look better, ya da ya da ya da!!  Hope that makes sense, I’m just being real!

True Happiness…can you find it?

Stay true to yourself happiness is when you think what you say and what you do are in harmonyIf you do a quick search on the internet on true happiness, you will stumble upon hundreds of quotes, papers, research, books, seminars, videos, you name it!  We hunger and thirst for it, and spend years looking for it.  And often in the wrong people, places or things!  Can you find it? Is there such a thing as true happiness?

Here are a few quotes I found to be extremely profound!

 

  •  True happiness is … to enjoy the present, without anxious dependence upon the future.  ~Lucius Annaeus Seneca~
  • True happiness is to learn how to live beyond the imperfections. ~Rita Maata~
  • Happiness is making your dreams come true.  ~Jourdan Dunn~
  • True Happiness – The Beatitudes.  ~The Bible~

secret-to-happinessWhat is true happiness for you?  As you read through  the quotes above, think about what they mean to you at this present moment?  Have you been enlightened?  Are they speaking to you?

One of the truths in regard to happiness is that it is not circumstantial.  It means we don’t have to wait for everything to be perfect, nor do we have to control anything outside of ourselves in order to feel a certain way.  That is good news! Positive-quotes-Happiness-is-like-jam

Happiness-Quotes-53I love this quote (on the left) … learning to say NO to the things and people that stress you out.

The older and wiser I get, I find myself doing this more and more!  Because I’m an empathetic, compassionate and a good listener type of person, I often find myself with people and things I don’t have the energy to deal with, especially negativity!  I call these people Energy Drainers!  No matter what advice I offer to fix the problem, they always have a reason why it won’t work! I think they just want to grumble and complain!

I’m learning to walk away and just say NO.  I also repeat in my head “not my monkey, not my circus!”  And I move on!!  If I have the energy, time and space to allow it, then I will carve out the time for that person or situation, but it’s not going to infringe or take control over my happiness.  That’s how I deal with it! You are responsible for what makes you happy!

ACTION STEPS:

  1. Every day adopt an attitude of gratitude, complain less and appreciate more.
  2. Write down the things you are grateful for.
  3. If it makes you happy, do it.  If it doesn’t then don’t!
  4. Every day remind yourself that you are in charge of your happiness. Try not to let anything that is outside of yourself control you.
