5 Unexpected Ways to Find Your Life Purpose

Harry Southworth

Once you can wake up in the middle of the night with stiffness in your limbs and unable to get out of the bed. Your mind can become preoccupied with numerous unexpected thoughts, and all of them will be standing inside your mind with the banner signs on which you will see the question: what’s your life’s purpose.

Such thoughts can attack you in the most unexpected moments, and it would be really hard to eliminate them. Consider this question one of the most fundamental questions that human beings ask themselves at some peculiar moments of their lives. It happens that people abandon their workplace and set on the way to search something for what they can’t even find a name. This something is called – goals in life.

All Goals Start with a Wish

Nobody can guarantee that after searching for this important thing, you will succeed in finding your purpose of existence. I have tried numerous times attempting all types of activities as a salesman in the local hardware store, as a barista in the café and even as a writer.

Do you think it was enough? – Of course, it wasn’t. Furthermore, I’ve tried numerous mental and spiritual practices to get the answer on how to find purpose in life, my life. One thing that is worth being remembered – get ready for some serious tormenting as there is no easy answer to this question.

Here are several unexpected ways to find purpose of your living in this world and I do hope that they will assist you in some way.

Try Everything New

Never limit yourself! Limitations are equal to failure and the more limits you set to yourself, the lower chance of finding what your wish is. Remember the movie with Jim Carrey when he had to agree with everything. Although this is a comedy – staying open to experience that is coming to your hands is something that every person should do.

Consider all your dreams and desires starting with your:

  • childhood
  • teenage
  • adulthood

You are capable of making them real. Forget about all your fears and start realizing all your dreams immediately. With every dream fulfilled, you will become one step closer to finding what you desire.

Understand your Strongest Points

Accepting oneself the way you are is among the most effective means of understanding what you really want from yourself. Try to estimate yourself from various angles and analyze all your weak and strong points as it will help your self-acceptance. Write down all your qualities and try to think what needs to be improved. Constant work on oneself assists in becoming a more developed personality seeing the world filled with colors and hues.

 

Work with People

The experience of social work is something that helps to understand the world. Participate in some charity work as helping other people makes you open to something new. With an open heart, you become free for experience of other members of society. The cases, when people hear stories about somebody, and it shifts their perception of the world are not rare, and something similar might happen to you. You need to get acquainted with cultures from various parts of the world as their ideas might be capable of pulling the strings of your own heart.  

Do not Aim for Singularity

Get ready to the fact that ONE perfect goal of life does not exist. Try to find various activities which are close to your heart and try them out. Check if you feel comfortable in this or that area and afterward consider if it is worthy of the time spent. Stick to something one is the same limitation that is imposed on a person by himself. Break the chains of limits and allow the flow of the world carry you on its wings.

My Purpose doesn’t Exist

Being obsessed with the very idea of finding aim of one’s self is the worst thing. Unnoticed, this involvement into constant searching can become a vampire that will suck your energy without any possible results.

 

The Afterword for Cheering Up

In order to avoid it, you are supposed to presume that the goal of your life doesn’t exist at all and let it go. This action will help your mind and soul become cleansed from constant thinking. This is the way that helped me. One person told me that letting the idea go means that you ask it to come and find you. My purpose in life appeared closer than I was searching and it was amazing to experience this sort of enlightenment when it finally became obvious.

Hopefully, you will get this sort of experience and understand what’s your purpose is and this will present you an amazing feeling of self-awareness.

In the stride of embracing the best you have ever been, nurture your soul before the onset of the abundance in you that lies unseen.

Too bold, too much for your age, you are doing too much, how often have you heard these notions been used to describe you? As we tirelessly strive to achieve the next goal we have in our mind, we are often told that we are being hard on ourselves, to enjoy life a little. Life in its entirety passes by us in its dynamic flair, and the existence we envisage holds unique individuality to each one of us. The choices one makes for themselves belies them and them only, and t

How To Remain Centered And Calm In Face Of Difficulty

My life is a mess and I have nothing to be grateful about! I witness myself say this phrase from time to time, where life plonks us into the desperation of ebb and flow of wilderness and things not going in our favour.

15 Most Liberating Thoughts For Someone Who Needs It

Our life unfolds in a succession of revelations of who we are. It is when we sit down and repeat the same sentence in our head over and over again, in every action we perform, every activity we indulge ourselves in, does it indulges into our existence as a habit.

The key to having a sense of liberation is allowing life to flow through, not forcing anything and more essentially not resisting change. I believe that our life improves in the direct proportionality of how often we are exposed to situations where are forced to challenge our age-old beliefs and counterfeited perceptions and seek the greater version of ourselves. When we get too comfortable in the comfort zones we build for ourselves, we do not grow into the people we are meant to be. Sadly most people embrace change only when metamorphosis is the less painful and only possible option.

My Rendezvous With Life

I sought the beauty of the light that was unseen,In the depths of my muse, I found my world within.Life in its flair, trudged me into the emblems of the dark,The dreams that perspired in the seed embraced their death,As it was time for a new quest to embark.

The Power of Understanding Your Love Language

Love is the purest emotion one feels towards themselves and another individual. While the expression of love can vary in its entirety from one person to another, the care we hold for the ones we love shares an undeniable impact on how we forge our perceptions of interpersonal relationships. The way we communicate our feelings to someone also says a lot about how we are wired, the method of conveying our affection to our beloved ones is called a love language. You may express affection to the one you love regularly, but do you take the time to ensure that you are communicating it in the way that the other person prefers? Even love can become lost in translation when two individuals speak different love languages.

Ever acquainted with the phrase that the world that you exist in, the life that you embody dwells in the perception of the stance you hold for yourself. The beauty and the tragedy of life is that it is as beautiful as the optimistic lens of perception and as ugly as the pessimistic view of your being.

The strive of our endeavours and the constant effort to achieve the next massive milestone often drive us to the edges of insanity, to be in the consistent light of greatness we lose sight of the great strings of joy that bind our existence together. To be the best we have ever been we must be mindful of the best we are.

I Breathe In The Sauntering Air That Collapses My Being

I Breathe In The Sauntering Air That Collapses My Being

I breathe in the sauntering air that collapses my being,I breathe through the crevices of my existence unseen.Uncertainty in its yonder strikes in bolt on the scars that nobody sees,Redemption that loves, redemption that is free, find me in the depths of my poetry.

Tales of lust ridden in smeared touches that belie,Entreated with envy, the visions of victory lie.To be or not to be in a question that yet lies,For I yearn for a world where fond passion never dies.

Enclasped in the cage of the deemed duty,Bounded in her vows, she forgot she was a thing of beauty.In a realm we live, where amour in its truth fails to stand tall,She, tired of her existence, submerges herself into the beauty that her dreams enthrall.

Chaos in its uproar hails in its darkness
