How do I find my purpose in life?
What goal should I pursue in life?
I have to pursue goals in life.
I have to have goals in the corner of my mind but I am aimless right now.
Do these phrases sound familiar?
The above questions are some of the most popular questions that people ask in their lives. The main problem with this question is not that it is difficult to answer, but the problem is that people ask it the wrong way.
In this article, we will tell you how to find your purpose in life.
The biggest mistake is trying (for no good reason) to find goals in life
Many people make the mistake of setting goals just because they have something to pursue. Not because they want to get anything.
This later causes people to lose motivation. A person may start pursuing a goal just because his friends do it. Such a person will soon realize that he has made a mistake and will lose his motivation.
To find your purpose in life, you need to make sure that your goals reflect your deepest desires, not just try to fill in the gaps in your life with something. Some people ask questions and tell us that they want to manage their time because they want to do something worthwhile, not because they have a worthwhile goal and want to do it in their limited time.
How to find your purpose in life
Contrary to popular belief, finding goals in life is easy. To find your goals, you need to ask yourself these questions:
What do I hate about my life right now?
Is there anything I need?
Am I happy? And if not, what are the reasons?
When you answer these questions, you will find a list of things you want and a list of things you hate.
Suppose the lack of financial security bothered you, and at the same time, you wanted to be famous. You found two goals in your life: first, to get rich, and second, to become famous.
Unmet needs and your purpose in life
Every person living on this planet has certain unmet needs. Some people need to be recognized and famous, some want a better life and there is a third group who want to live carefreely.
Once you find your unmet needs, it is very easy to find your purpose in life. If you do not know how to find your unmet needs, just examine your feelings.
For example, boredom in life is a feeling that you have distanced yourself from meeting your unmet needs and have not met them. Anxiety is an emotion that when you experience it, you are unsure of the outcome of an event (which can meet your unmet needs). Indifference is an emotion that you experience when you believe that your efforts are not enough to meet your unmet needs.
You do not need to find your goals in life, you just need to consider your feelings for a few days until you realize what the unmet needs in your life are. This will help you find your life goals later.
