I have read about and seen this subject come up many times.
There are some of us who dream of finding our purpose and never seem to get it, yet there are some of us who find it and live an extraordinary life being filled with joy as we fulfill it.
But what is the real meaning of purpose?
Purpose is secretly defined by only you, this is very personal and sacred to you. It is defined according to your innate character/personality and view of the world. Whether it is money, health, relationships, travel, whatever it may be, purpose is defined by what gives you the most joy (regardless of what anyone else says or things about it). Forget about what you think you’ve heard a

bout selfishness and the morality behind it… There is no wrong answer here; of course, as long as you or anyone else is not harmed during the process of it. Whether you enjoy helping people or pleasuring yourself. The point is, what makes YOU truly HAPPY?
So why do many of us fall short of finding our true purpose?
The most important question to ask is… What brings me the most joy? Let’s pause right here and think about it before we continue…
Like most of us, you are probably thinking of all the other reasons why it can’t happen, right?? STOP RIGHT THERE.
What if you could think about what brings you the most joy without any interruptions? Let’s try it again…! Close your eyes for a second and see yourself in it.
Much better! This is the kind of mindset that you need to have to make this happen.
Here are four steps that you need to take to live your purpose and make it happen:
To figure out what makes you come alive. VISUALIZE every possible outcome until you find the one or ones that make you come alive.
SCHEDULE it!
EXECUTE it. Even if you must take small steps. Do it part time.
When you execute, you build momentum and when you keep the momentum going, your joy grows therefore you will want to do more of it and your Purpose becomes you Joy.
4. Never get complacent. This is how you keep the relationship with your purpose endlessly alive, and that my friend, is a life well lived.
