How to find your life purpose
Your life purpose has always been within you, even if you haven’t fully realized it yet. In fact, your entire life is naturally organized around it.
Your life purpose is the quiet thread that ties your experiences together. It gives your life meaning, helping you understand why you’re here right now — but it’s not something you need to grasp or force.
While your job can be one way to channel your purpose into the world, it is only a part of the bigger picture. Your life purpose expresses itself through everything you do: your family, your hobbies, your relationships, your personal growth. Every action you take, every choice you make, is a way you bring your purpose to life on Earth.
Your life purpose is not stagnant, and it evolves with your personal growth. You also have a few different purposes (such as collective and galactic), but we are now focusing on your individual purpose.
The idea that connecting with your purpose is selfish is a common misconception. In truth, knowing your purpose is one of the most loving acts you can do for yourself. It’s an act of self-love to understand why you’re here. It gives you clarity, confidence, and a deeper sense of meaning in everything you do.
When you’re connected to your purpose, it becomes like a Northern Star guiding you. You feel grounded and aligned, knowing that you’re exactly where you need to be. It’s no longer about wondering “What am I supposed to do?” but instead about knowing that every moment is an expression of your purpose.
The benefits of living your purpose
Scientific research supports the idea that living in alignment with your purpose improves your life in many ways. People who feel connected to their purpose experience better mental health, increased life satisfaction, and even greater longevity. It enhances your overall well-being, bringing you a sense of peace and fulfilment. Knowing your purpose also helps you navigate life’s challenges more effectively.
Living your purpose has been linked to:
– Increased happiness and life satisfaction
– Better mental and physical health
– Stronger resilience and ability to cope with stress
– Improved relationships and sense of community
– Increased longevity and overall well-being
This isn’t just about career success; it’s about feeling more connected to yourself and the world around you. When you’re aligned with your purpose, life flows with greater ease, and you feel more grounded and at peace.
How to connect with your life purpose
The key to connecting with your purpose is to stop searching for it as though it’s something you need to find outside yourself. Instead, you need to create the space for it to reveal itself. Your purpose is already inside of you. It’s not a distant goal or an external destination — it’s part of your being.
One powerful way to start connecting with your purpose is by asking what brings you joy and following that path.
Another great way to start connecting with your life purpose is meditation such as the one below.
Meditation to connect with your life purpose
Find a quiet place where you won’t be disturbed. Sit or lie down comfortably, and take a few deep breaths to center yourself. Focus on the following questions as you relax into the meditation:
– Who am I, at my core?
– What excites me? What makes me feel alive?
– How can I serve others, the planet, and the Universe?
Allow yourself to be open to the answers. These may not come all at once, but be patient with yourself. With each meditation, you’ll get closer to understanding your purpose and how it shows up in your life. You may find that your purpose becomes clearer over time as you keep connecting to yourself.
Heal with me for a sec.
Remember that your purpose might be (just) one word, like LOVE.
As you think about LOVE, you realize how many different ways there are to deliver more love to this planet.
