What Is Your Purpose in Life?

What Is Our Life's Purpose?

What do you want to be when you grow up? what interests you? How do you want to contribute to society? These are all the questions that we are asked at some point in our life. I have one simple answer to all these questions. Who in the world knows? Throughout life, we are constantly growing and changing, so how can we decide on one career right away without even knowing if we truly like it? It's not like we are born knowing exactly what we want to be when we grow up. although that would be nice. Don't you think? it would defiantly be easier to answer these questions. Instead of asking what we want to be when we grow up, I think we should start asking what is something in the world that you want to change?

The Worlds Not Perfect

over the years, we have gone from living off the land to building cities that has effected our earth in a big way. Yes, it allowed us to settle and expand, but in many ways, it has also hurt the earth that we call home. Think about how much our population has gone up over the years. It's insane. As our society continues to grow, not only is our population going up but also our crime rates and the number of homeless people on the streets because they can't afford the costs of living in a house. Imagine if we could make a change in our world. Imagine a world that we have more good than bad. Wouldnt that be amazing? What if I told you that by making the decision right now to live your true self and do what you love that it is actually making our earth a better place. How do I do that?  You may be asking. keep reading to find out.

How Do You Find Your Life Purpose?

For the longest time, I didn't know what I wanted to do in life. I was the type of person that would be interested in one career, but then be interested in something totally different the next. Any of the careers I thought was I would like to do as a career just never felt right. It didn't feel like me. For me, it took doing a homework assignment to figure out what I wanted to do with my life. At the time, what I didn't realize was that my purpose in life was right in front of me.

I can't talk enough about the show "Transcendence ". In another one of their episodes, they talked about how what happened in your childhood is a key to what our purpose is in life. I thought this was interesting because everything that I went through as a child I sort of overlooked the fact that each and every day I spent improving myself was giving me a hint into what I was supposed to do as a career.
