Why Is Life Purpose Important
And How do You Find It?
By Zach Kong
Personal development books like Success Principles, The Power Of Focus etc, are some of the wonderful books that can help you understand your purpose and guide you through the steps of finding your purpose in life.
Out of those many books, I personally prefer Jack Canfield’s Success Principle as it provides you a step-by-step guide to finding your purpose in life through a series of simple yet mind-provoking questions.
1. List down 2 qualities you want others to see in you. People will remember these qualities whenever they mention you. Cheerful? Understanding? Playful? Caring?
2. Determine how you are going to express these 2 qualities when interacting with other people. Is it through inspiration, motivation or sharing?
3. Imagine how the world will be like if everything will be perfect. How will everyone communicate with one another? What traits can you see in everyone around you? Remember: the keyword here is “Perfect”. How does a perfect world looks like to you?
4. Lastly, you need to combine the above 3 sections into one paragraph, and wallah… you’ve just completed your first attempt to finding your purpose in life.
“Joy is but the sign that creative emotion is fulfilling its purpose.” (Charles Du Bos)
Now, don’t be like many others who just read and forget about it. Put it into action. Write down your purpose, read it everyday. Print it out nicely, laminate it and carry it with you everywhere you go. Read it with enthusiasm and excitement. Send out positive vibrations that you’re fulfilling your purpose in life in everything you do.
Don’t worry about perfecting it the first time. As I have said earlier, finding your purpose in life is an on-going process. What’s more important is finding a purpose you feel enthusiastic and excited about.
If you wish, refer to others’ purposes or mission statements and get some inspiration from there. Just note that everyone is different, so are our purposes. Refer and not copy.
Find the purposes you can best resonate with and stick to it. Read it everyday and make sure you’re taking the necessary actions to fulfilling your purpose in life.
My purpose? Well, it is to live in abundance of wealth, health and happiness. Through coaching, mentoring and sharing, to be a source of inspiration and motivation to others to attain their desires through a joyful, happy and playful manner.
So what is your purpose in life?
“We must have a theme, a goal, a purpose in our lives. If you don’t know where you’re aiming, you don’t have a goal. My goal is to live my life in such a way that when I die, someone can say, she cared.” (Mary Kay Ash)
