What is your purpose?

Have you ever been asked by a family member, close friend or coach what your purpose is?

I remember the first time I was asked this by a coach and I had no clue how to respond. No one had ever asked me what my purpose in life was. At the time when I was I asked, I became stagnate with my self-development and I was just going to and from work, day in day out.

Once asked this question, I simply thought to myself surely this can’t be it? So I started to think, what is it I actually enjoy doing?

I love to read and I enjoy learning, so over the last few years I’ve invested a lot of time in learning about how the mind works and have read many books on self-development, habits, wealth & psychology. Broadening my knowledge and understanding has really helped me, so now I plan to share my knowledge with you.

Before I lost direction with where I was going in life but now it’s clear to me what my purpose is. My purpose is to create, share knowledge and inspire. Through this newsletter, I plan to help as many of you on this journey to discover your own purpose.

Is a life without purpose not worth living?

I believe that this is true! When you don’t have a sense of purpose in life you will feel lost, you will struggle to stay committed and lack self-discipline. It is important to keep learning, growing and striving to become the best we possibly can, as life continues to move fast everyday the world around us is evolving and changing.

When you’ve discovered your purpose you will truly know because you’ll have passion, drive and commitment to fulfil it. You will become more self-disciplined & will stay committed to your goals. When doing something you feel passionate about, the days will begin to go quick. You’ll find that drive and passion you desire. I wish I would have discovered this earlier because I was definitely caught up with the mundane daily activities of life.

Living your life with purpose is a better way to achieve a happy and fulfilled life. On my journey so far, I have learned that if you're still discovering your purpose, you need to be flexible because as you progress and you continue to grow, you may discover there is a deeper meaning to your life purpose.

In summary, my purpose is too:

• Create

• Share knowledge

• Inspire

The goal is to live with purpose - what is your purpose?
