Most people are just getting day by day and they could make a huge impact in this world if they defined their purpose.
Everyone has a purpose for being here on this earth and they may not realize it. They all affect people whether they know it or not in some manner. Some are very clear on their purpose and make it happen, while most people have not defined their purpose.
What is your purpose? Why do you get up in the morning?
Is it you want to live the highest quality of life you can?
Or
Is it your family? Do you want to provide and create an environment to have the best quality of life and spend time with them?
Or
You want to make a difference in the world beyond your family and do as much good for others as possible?
There is difference between a “Life’s Purpose” and “General Life Purpose.” Your “General Life Purpose” is the starting point of your “Life’s Purpose” to determine who and what’s most important currently in your life.
We all must start somewhere, we must not feel guilty, and be at peace on who and what we currently feel what’s the most important in our lives.
Once you feel confident, you pursue the goals you desire becomes more enjoyable and easier.
This is the first step to success.
Exercises
- Who do you want to spend time with and who benefits the most from with you at this phase of your life? Write it down in a paragraph and be honest.
- Write down the reasons why you are focusing on this area in your life right now. It could be starting a family, having fun while you’re young, going out of country on a mission, or you have been highly successful, you’ve done what most people desire in a certain area of life, and you want to give back.
- If you’re in a relationship, discuss this with them because there may be time and money commitments that take resources and you away from them. You may have to adjust your purpose after you talk to them.

“Many persons have a wrong idea that constitutes true happiness. It’s not attained thru self-gratification but through fidelity to a worthy purpose.” -Heller Keller (1880-1968)
