Discovering our life purpose can be a tough task but with important guides you can be able to have an idea of what your mission is about. It has been my observation that everyone and every profession created solves a problem; doctors solve medical problems, accountants solve financial problems, lawyers solve legal problems, psychologists solve mental problems, et al.
You are created for a purpose. There’s a specific problem you were created to solve, and you will only succeed if you discover that problem and solve it. Finding this problem is discovering your purpose, solving this problem is accomplishing your purpose.
It as been shown from a recent survey, 80 percent of people are unaware of the problem they were created to solve. This is quite tragic because nothing can make you truly happy and successful except, doing what you were created to do.
How do you discover the problem you were created to solve?
I’m glad you would have been asking that question since you started reading; I would like to show you!
First do me a favour, I want you to get a pen and a piece of paper.
Did you get the pen and paper?
The Second thing you will do for me is, I want you to answer the questions below, on the paper with you (You may not be able to completely answer to all of the questions below, but answer them to the best of your knowledge and ensure you answer immediately before you Continue reading. Very important!). These questions are “sign post” on the path to discovering your life purpose.
1. What do you love to do?
I have noticed that people who are successful, do things they love to do. Citing various examples Bill Gate love programming, Messi and Ronaldo love to play football, Tiger Woods loves to play golf, Anthony Robbins loves to motivate, et al. Your purpose is related to what you love to do. It's related to what excites and make you happy. Write down the activities that you love. Maybe you love to write, maybe you love to talk, maybe you love reading, maybe you love exercising, maybe you love listening to others, maybe you love singing, dancing, or even selling things.
Whatever you love, write it down. Write down as many things as you love. You can begin by saying, “I love to…”
2. What do you notice?
A hairdresser notices someone’s hair is out of place, a designer notices a problem with your outfit, a mechanic hears something wrong with the car, a singer notices when someone’s voice is out of pitch, a speaker notices a boring speech. What do you notice? What are those things that gets your attention when it’s not functioning properly? Is it relationships, cars, or people?
Whatever it is, write it down.
3. What would you do for free?
What do you love to learn about?
What do you love to talk about?
What would you regret never trying?
Is it cooking, sports, teaching…write down the answers to these questions. 4. If I was able to look in your library, what would I find?
What do you love to read about?
If I found 200 books on “investing” then maybe that’s your passion, if I found 300 car magazines, then you should probably be doing something related to cars. If I see 150 novels, that means, you just want to escape reality (and that’s a whole ‘another issue).
…if you have a library, write down the types of books we would find in your library, or the kinds of books that you wish were in your library.
5. What brings out your creativity?
What do you find easy to do?
What are you good at?
What makes you happy?
Is it painting, designing, building, speaking, writing; think about it, then write it down. Take a moment and review the answers to the questions you’ve just answered. What are some things that come up more often?
Think about some ways that individuals with these specific talents and passions could be successful….
Now, take the next two to five minutes and write down as many career, job or business opportunities that someone with your passions would pursue, if they knew they could not fail! When you’re done with the list, take a moment to review it.
Finally, circle the item on the list that you feel the most passionate about, the one that seems the most enticing to you, the one that you could see yourself doing forever, the one that deep down inside you believe you can do, the one that you would not regret ever trying. Circle it out.
