In fact, you may be surprised to discover just how rewarding a purposeful life can be. Here are just a few of the benefits:
Greater focus in your daily activities– rather than feeling adrift. Increased discipline when it comes to productivity and achievement.
Passion and motivation! When was the last time you felt excited about your day?
Personal empowerment– being in control of your own life.
Meaning and fulfillment. Knowing that your life (and everything you do) matters.
Energy and vitality! Purposeful living energizes your mind, body and spirit.
Peace and contentment. Knowing you are exactly where you need to be.
I could go on and on, but these are probably the most notable benefits of living purposefully. If you’ve never felt strengthened, empowered or fulfilled by your activities before, you have definitely not discovered your purpose yet or chosen one that resonates with you.
Once you do, every moment of your life takes on greater meaning and passion–rather than seeming pointless and boring. How Do You Find Your Purpose?

“Finding” your purpose is a misleading concept because it’s not something you have to go out and “get,” but rather something you need to turn within and claim. You’ve already got it– even if you haven’t consciously realized or chosen it yet. Of course, whether you believe it is already within you or not, you still need to “find” it in some sense. How do you do that? By looking in the most obvious places– your passions and interests.

You already love to do,
Is important to you, Remember that your fears about your life purpose being unpleasant are groundless? It’ is absolutely true. Why would you be given a life purpose that doesn’t match the essence of who you are?
Would the universe expect a musical prodigy to spend his life crunching numbers in an accounting firm? Would the universe expect you to wait tables when your true passion is childhood education?
How would these situations serve anyone? They wouldn’t. Your life purpose will ALWAYS utilize your greatest passions, talents and interests.
No exceptions. Does that inspire a little sigh of relief for you? It should.Identifying Your Passions
Before you can discover your true life purpose, you need to uncover the clues that lead to it. Namely, things you are good at, feel passionate about, love to do, and are important to you. Take a look at the worksheets on the next few pages and start filling in a few ideas for each of them.
You don’t have to completely fill them. In fact, you are looking for the most obvious answers here- even there are only a handful of them in each category. Focus on things that have been a major part of your life or occupied your thoughts a lot and it’s okay to have the same answers on multiple sheets.
