What Is Your Purpose In Life? – 5 Steps To Work It Out
Ever wonder what is your purpose in life? Here are 5 simple steps on how to find your purpose and passion in life.
Let’s chat about this question: what is your purpose in life?
I often feel extremely blessed to have discovered my life’s purpose so early in life – which is to inspire people with my writing.
From an early age I was obsessed with writing books and stories but it was only as I got older that I discovered I could actually make this passion of mine a full-time work thing.
(Even though, if I’m totally honest, blogging and writing books doesn’t feel like work because I love it so much).
But sometimes I feel like a unicorn in this respect because I know many people still feel like they haven’t found their life purpose, even though they are well into their adult years.
If you still feel stuck in this area, I encourage you to explore it further, no matter what your age.
What Is Your Purpose In Life?
The truth is you were placed on this planet for a reason. You have a purpose.
Your presence is important and you were born to have a positive impact on the world.
Here are five steps you can take to find your calling.
WHAT IS YOUR PURPOSE IN LIFE?
STEP # 1 – Find your Big Thing
Look inwards to see what it is that fires you up.
What are you passionate about in your life?
What do you love doing?
What you talk about for hours?
What inspires you?
Look at your hobbies and your reading list.
Your Big Thing is right in front of you, all you have to do is claim it!

STEP # 2 – Identify your superpower
Everyone has something they do where they excel.
Write down all the things you’re good at, pick out the top one or two that stand out, the ones that you can offer right now.
Instead of feeling helpless, recognize that you have a unique combination of experience and skill to offer the world.
No one else in the history of the world can offer what you offer right now.

STEP # 3 – Volunteer
Whatever your life purpose is, you want to have a positive impact on your community, right?
Think about who you want to help. Do you relate to children, or seniors or single moms?
Are your superpower skills useful for fundraising or writing submissions?
Are you more comfortable as a hands-on career or assistant?
Find an organization that could do with a helping hand, whether it’s pro bono work or hands-on volunteering.
When you love something, you sincerely enjoy doing it – and one day the goal is to be rewarded for this passion.

STEP # 4 – Bring it all together
Once you’ve identified your Big Thing, you know what your unique superpowers are and how you want to serve your community, you can connect the dots.
What are the common themes?
You might be passionate about human rights, be an excellent public speaker and choose to work pro bono as an advocate for your local Amnesty branch.
Or you may offer free haircuts or styling to homeless people or the unemployed.
Keep searching until you find out how you can immerse yourself in something you are sincerely passionate about.

STEP # 5 – Act!
Now you have your life purpose package you can swing into action.
Look for opportunities to align your life purpose with tangible action out in the world.
Be bold and resolve to do what you can where you can.
Remember life is short and your time is now.
What are you waiting for?
I mean, seriously what are you waiting for?
Your dreams won’t just fall into your lap.
You need to go out there and CHASE THEM!
