Five Steps to Discover Your Life Purpose

"The how of life may be complex, but the why of life is simple" 

Leslie Fieger

Discovering Your Life Purpose can be a journey more wonderful than any you have ever taken before. Learning to Live Your Life Purpose will fill you with the Joy of Life.

People today seem to be constantly searching for meaning in their lives; they look for meaning in endless consumerism, endless hours at their workplace, and endless streams of unsatisfying relationships.

The path to Discovering Your Life Purpose is really very simple and can be mapped out in five steps. If you follow these steps and honour the learning each one contains you will be much closer to Living Your Life with Purpose, Passion and Absolute Joy.

Your Empowerment, Gratitude and Inspiration begins Now!

Step 1: What Do You Love?

I am sure you have heard it many times before and in many different ways. Do what your love, Follow Your Bliss, Live Your Passion.

All very well but first you must discover what that is right? The way to begin doing that is to ask yourself this very simple question and then gift yourself the time and the space to explore your answers.

A journal or notebook and some time devoted to nothing but the recording of your responses to that question is all that you need to begin.

Step 2: Know Thy-Self!

Now you will be very grateful for your notebook. You will have created a wonderful list of things that you absolutely love, but there seems to be neither rhyme nor reason to them right? Not right!

Look at the things contained in your journal, group them, categorise them. Are they good for you or bad for you? How do they serve you in your life? What are the common characteristics contained within these groupings?

Continue to look at your lists and ask yourself whatever questions you need in order to unearth the Treasures that surely are contained within them. Now, journal your ideas, responses and thoughts.

Step 3: Write a New Story

You now have an incredible resource at your disposal. You know what you Love, you understand the role they play in your life and you are beginning to see a picture unfold as to how they can assist you to create a whole new life of Bliss, Passion and Joy.

Create a new vision for yourself that incorporates all of these elements. Write your new story. This can take quite a while so let it evolve over time until it feels absolutely perfect and makes your heart sing!

Step 4: Stay Inspired

How simple is that? Simple, but once again not so easy... until now. Find things that inspire you to hold onto your new understanding about what your Life Purpose is and how it is manifesting in your life.

Music, pictures, movies and books can all provide valuable and wonderful support in your efforts to stay connected to your Passion, to live your life doing what you Love, to follow your Bliss. Use them every day.

Step 5: Get Connected

- Do contact others who you believe are living their Life Purpose.

- Do join organisations that support you in your quest for Happiness.

- Do spend time with your dreams, goals and passions everyday so that your connection remains strong, your inspiration remains with you and your vision remains clear.

I have been involved in one way or another in the Personal Growth and Empowerment Industry for more than 10 years and am also a Breathwork Practitioner and Reiki Master.

There is nothing new here but in the many years I have spent working on the discovery of my own Life Purpose and in the years since when I have been assisting others to find theirs, I have discovered that it may be simple, but not always easy.

These Five Steps to Discovering Your Life Purpose will give you a wonderful framework around which to construct your new vision for your life - A Life of Purpose lived with Passion and Joy.
