Whats Your Purpose In Life?

Your purpose in life is what you were put on earth to do. It varies for everyone..we all have a role to play on this planet to keep a perfect balance within the universe. 

Oftentimes we get caught up in our comfort zones, what we think our parents want for us, or what’s socially acceptable. We get so caught up in that, that we end up believing that this is the ideal life for us. Leaving us feeling unsatisfied, as though time is just wasting away and have nothing to show for it.

This is why it’s important to begin working on yourself and unburdening yourself of any limiting beliefs, traumas and anger. This is where you truly start to become in line with your purpose. The feeling of knowing you are on the journey to discovering your purpose is undeniable and you will immediately feel aligned with your true self. This is a feeling of true satisfaction that I hope you will also manage to feel at some point in your life. 

Here are some things you can do to find out what your purpose in life is...

I want you to write down some beliefs you have that may be negative.

(E.g  I’m unattractive, I don't know how to make money, I'm a failure, I'm too old to...)

Now ask yourself, where did these beliefs come from? 

How do they serve you? 

What could you do to try and prove yourself wrong? 

What would your life be like if you believed the exact opposite? 

What kind of person would you be? 

How would you behave without this self limiting belief?

In many ways, we can be our own worst enemies. We are confined by our own perceptions, constrained by our understanding of true and false, acceptable and unacceptable.

You see, the way to deal with these emotions is by doing the very thing we’re avoiding doing.

Take control of your reality and begin to make changes in your favour.

If you’re not confident in your appearance, start taking selfies even if you don't post them. 

If you want to take it up a notch, book in for a professional photoshoot. 

If you’re so angry at someone you don’t want to talk to them ever again, chances are that talking to them will help you forgive them and get over your anger.

If you think you’re bad at managing your money, go and open a savings account and put in 10% of whatever comes into your bank account. Start organising your statements. Keep up to date with your spending. Keep receipts & calculate costs. Make monthly plans.

Make things easier for yourself. Being your own biggest critic only holds you back from being the bold confident person that you are deep down. Acknowledging and shedding these beliefs is the absolute first essential step to discovering the real you.

Observe what things feel satisfying and unsatisfying to you. Notice the way certain activities or places make you feel.

You might notice that you feel extremely burdened or extremely fulfilled after doing certain tasks/being in certain places/being around certain people.

Pay attention to whatever your energy feels most drawn to. 

Maybe you hate training for football and feel as though you no longer want to go into that field anymore but you’re scared of breaking it to those around you who have supported you on your journey...

But you could sit for hours painting away in your room, completely oblivious of time. That there is called being in the flow state.

Doing something you really enjoy, that something that feels natural to you. Where you only realise you’ve been at it for hours because you realise you’re dying to use the toilet and have been pushing all urges to one side due to your unbreakable focus on this task you absolutely love?

What’s that thing for you?

That really gets your juices flowing? Makes you feel free?

Yeah, whatever that is, do more of it. Explore more things you can try similar to whatever it is you love doing.

If you love drawing, try sculpting, experiment with textiles, why not do a course in 3D design? 

Make a list of things you enjoy doing

Write down all the things that make you smile, things that make you feel warm inside and figure out how you can combine these things to all work in harmony with each other. 

Whether it’s a new career, moving to a new country, picking up a new hobby. You’ll never truly understand your place unless you dig deep into what makes you the amazing person that you are and with that comes lots of self work and experimenting. 

Don’t be afraid if you feel like you’re being thrown into a completely different path than you initially had planned, remember the universe always has your back

You have to get out of your comfort zone to flourish. Life is way too short to not do things that challenge you to grow.

You deserve to live a life that you love and only you have the power to give that to yourself..so do it! Begin doing that self work, not later, not tomorrow but now. How bad do you want to see the best version of you? Do the work, start today. You have to help yourself and let the universe guide you.

Remember, there is no real progress without action!
