How to Find Your Purpose

You were put on this planet for a reason. You overcame adversities you can’t remember or comprehend to be born on this planet and in this time. You’re here for a reason and you have a calling.

But what is that calling?

Finding your purpose is vital in order to start living the life you were meant to lead.

Let’s take a good look at how you find your purpose.

The first place to look when seeking out your purpose is the Good Book. Scripture is rife with passages that can start you on your journey, whether it be Ecclesiastes 3 (“For everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven”), Jeremiah 32:19 (“Great are your purposes and mighty are your deeds”), Proverbs 20:5 (“The purposes of a person’s heart are deep waters, but one who has insight draws them out”), or Ephesians 2:10 (“For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do) or Romans 8:28 (“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose”)

My choice proverb is Jeremiah 29:11 (“For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope”). This passage spoke to me and my desire to help make a better world. This is why I want to help achieve the SDGs and help others find their purpose.

A second place to look when seeking out your purpose is your community. Just within that community there are causes and opportunities you can explore to uncover what your purpose truly is.

Look for where you can help. Volunteering has been shown to increase sense of self-worth and purpose. See where you can help and how you can use your skills to make the world a better place.

By helping others you will come to learn a lot about yourself and you can use this knowledge to better understand why you’re here and what your true purpose is.

Finally, of course, you should look inside yourself to find your purpose. Close your eyes and ask yourself what the perfect world looks like. Once you’ve done that, look at the steps you can take to help make that concept reality.

Everyone is different which means everyone will use different tools and methods when routing their path. I tell you this so you don’t get discouraged if others are using methods that are strange to you.

If you’re unsure you can try the Passion Test. This online platform is a way for people to route out where they should be going in order to live their best lives.

Finding your purpose will make your life happier and more fulfilled. It will also help make the world a much better place.

There are different ways to find your purpose. We are all so unique and need to find the right information in the right ways to best absorb it all.

Don’t wait. Start today on your journey to find your purpose. Your life will be better for it.
