Having a purpose in life will give your life meaning no matter what life stage you are in. While doing this exploration, I have found life purpose in using my gifts of listening, empathy, compassion, resourcefulness and creativity. These gifts have allowed me to help people grow through self-understanding and move forward to live healthier and more satisfying lives that are filled with purpose and meaning. What is your purpose?
Take the time to reflect on the following questions:
1. Sit quietly and reflect on your talents, strengths and skills. Write them down. Ask those you love and trust to reflect on what they experience with you and give you feedback about your gifts.
2. What issues, social challenges or causes in your environment, your life or the world stir passion and interest where you can use your gifts and talents discovered in #1?
3. Can you develop a plan that will be focused on implementing action towards this purpose?
4. What kind of support do you need to move forward?
5. How will you know that you are on the right journey for you?
