Why Am I Here?
What is my life purpose? Essentially, we are searching for some kind of fulfillment. Many individuals ask me to help them discover theirs. Their reason for being on this life’s journey.
One of the questions I ask them is “What drives you?” What makes you wake up in the morning, jumping out of bed with a raring to go attitude? I believe life should be lived with passion. So where is the passion in your life? Do you feel passionate about work, chores, shoveling snow (cutting the grass if there is no white stuff), or even your kids sometimes?
These types of things may not be what you would call life purpose, but you can find purpose in everything you do in your life on this beautiful planet as a human. Life purpose is not just about your physical existence. It is also a spiritual path not to be mistaken with a religious path. You can feel filled with purpose when you perform these simple tasks.
How To Find Your Purpose In Life
A wise Buddhist monk once told me that when you do something be present. Be totally there immersed in the project. If you are doing dishes wash them with a focused mind and heart. Don’t be thinking about how quickly you can get through them so you can watch the game or have a cup of tea. When you eat stop and taste each mouthful chewing, enjoying. Do not sit shoveling more food on your fork or cutting your meat distracting yourself from the glorious taste of the food in your mouth. Focus on that taste. You will be totally amazed at the rich flavors you never noticed before.
Life Purpose Meaning, Passion, And Purpose Quotes
I have included some life purpose quotes throughout this post for your edification. I hope you enjoy them. Here are the first ones I have chosen:
“No man or woman is an island. To exist just for yourself is meaningless. You can achieve the most satisfaction when you feel related to some greater purpose in life, something greater than yourself.” Denis Waitley
“I believe purpose is something for which one is responsible; it’s not just divinely assigned.” Michael J. Fox
It Is All About Living Purposefully
Making choices about the direction of your life can be a really frightening responsibility. If you could just have a clue, a light bulb go on.
It is about living to the fullest spiritually. Doing everything with love in your heart! Then living every moment to the fullest becomes your life purpose. Of course, we do all have a unique life purpose, which is the thing or things that you can do for the betterment of all, for the highest good. I bet you if meditate on it it will not be going out to earn more money to buy more things. Don’t get me wrong. The pleasure of material things is a wonderful aspect of physical life, but if you are reading this my guess if your purpose probably relates to being of service in the world.
“There is no greater gift you can give or receive than to honor your calling. It’s why you were born, and how you become most truly alive.” Oprah Winfrey
“There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.” Maya Angelou
“The secret of success is a consistency to purpose.” Benjamin Disraeli
What Is Your Purpose In Life?
How to truly discover yourself can be an amazingly challenging task, to find the real you and
your spiritual reason for being. Many people wander the globe aimlessly in an attempt to find a sense of purpose. Living a purpose-driven life is truly a goal worth fulfilling. There is a plenitude of things to learn in life. Whether it is what do I want in life or how to find my career – the challenge can be daunting.
Here is one way of helping to learn how to find your purpose and passion in life, a few self-awareness questions that you could ponder that may help you with your search for the meaning of your life:
- Over the past month, what caused you to experience love, satisfaction, or a sense of meaning?
- Looking at your life up to now which skills, abilities, and concepts have you uncovered about yourself?
- What would like to be said at your eulogy and on your gravestone?
- What things would you like to understand that your family has to say about you?
- What do you feel, which activities give you the most personal inspiration?
- What things that you did when you were just a kid excited you the most?
- If you were being closely monitored and studied by a reporter as an example of humanity what would your day look like?
- If I could retire right now and did not need to work ever again would I fill my days with to feel satisfied?
- If I could retire right now and did not need to work ever again would I fill my days with to feel satisfied?
It really all boils down to the one ultimate question surrounding how truly discovering your purpose in life will fulfill you.
Understanding and developing your life purpose has much pertinence when it comes to the life decisions you make. It influences behavior, determines goal choices, becomes a road map for life, and help you create meaning in your life. It could be connected to your occupation which gives you great satisfaction.

What Is My Life Purpose, My True Life Purpose?
I have a Ph.D. in microbiology which I worked hard for. I worked in a career in the pharma industry for many years in high-level positions. However, this did not satisfy the truth of who I was. It was a difficult decision to give up the income but I need to follow my heart and my soul. Now I work with people to help them recognize, develop, and use their spiritual gifts. I help individuals move through the pains of many different sorts. I help people understand who they are through meditation. Basically, I try my best to help people live the best, the happiest, the most tuned in spiritually life they can.
“What am I living for and what am I dying for are the same question.” Margaret Atwood
“Great minds have purposes, others have wishes!” Washington Irving
“If you organize your life around your passion, you can turn your passion into your story and then turn your story into something bigger, something that matters.” Blake Mycoskie
What Is My Life’s Purpose
Some individuals find their purpose lies in their obligations to the people in their lives, their
family, and friends. Some will follow a more spiritual path teaching spirituality or religion-based ideologies. You may even find that all these things are part of the path that will fulfill you and you select to follow.
Your purpose will be unique to you. When I am asked about life purpose people feel that there is only one path for them to follow. This is not true generally. Your life’s design can change during your life in answer to the variations and inconsistencies of your own life’s experiential journey.
“Lean forward into your life. Begin each day as if it were on purpose.” Mary Anne Radmacher
“The self is made, not given.” Barbara Myerhoff
“People who use time wisely spend it on activities that advance their overall purpose in life.” John C. Maxwell
You may feel that trying to follow what you feel is your purpose is selfish even egotistical. Your true purpose is your gift to the world. If you are fulfilled your joy and happiness it is a present and benefit to all those around you. There is no need to have any ill feelings about what you choose to do with this wonderful gift of life as long as it doesn’t cause damage or pain to others. When your true purpose reveals itself you will be able to share it, everyone, with the world.
“Genuine purpose points to the end of a self-absorbed, self-serving relationship to life.” Richard Leider is the founder of Inventure – The Purpose Company and one of America’s preeminent executive-life coaches.
This is his equation for life purpose:
G + P + V = P (gifts + passions + values = purpose)
You will notice that when you go through challenges or even high points in your life the question of life purpose seems to come to the forefront. This is because your mind is focusing
on the outcome of any specific situation. The best thing to do in actuality is to not focus on the outcome. be in the present. Yet retrospection can be a good thing. When you look back at your life you can see how every experience leads to another and yet another. The truth of the purpose of your life will not become completely evident until it is time to transfer to another one. Enjoy this one until that time.
