Are you struggling to feel fulfilled? Do you often wonder why you are here at this moment? Are you struggling with finding peace and happiness in your life? 

The truth is you are most probably struggling to find your purpose and understand your why.

It is difficult to feel fulfilled, have inner peace and be completely happy if you have not identified what your purpose is. Once you identify what your why is and what you believe your purpose is, you can start making choices and have a lifestyle that is directly aligned to your purpose. Ultimately you will be able to achieve your dream life.

It can be frustrating not knowing what your purpose is. Some individuals have a strong sense of what their purpose is from childhood and this normally manifests into the career they pursue and how they choose to live their life. There are various ways to explore what your purpose may be.

1. Explore Your Hobbies & Interests

Dig deeper into your hobbies and interests, things that bring you enjoy. More often than not your hobbies and interests are linked to your purpose, hence why you are naturally pulled to them.

2. Focus On Your Core Values 

Look at what is most important to you - your beliefs. Note what you find unjust and unfair in the world. Understanding your core values can help you understand your purpose and what you really want to spend your time on.

3. Acknowledge Positive Feedback From Those Around You 

What is it that you are continuously complimented on by those around you? More likely than not character traits that are habitual to you are aligned with your why. Whether it be you being naturally patient or calm, these are strong traits that you hold that are meant to be used to fulfil your purpose.

4. Surround Yourself With Positive People

If you are surrounded by other people who are positive and know their why it can have a direct effect on you. Such individuals can help guide and shape your journey as they may have stood in your position before. 

5. Get New Influences

Read, listen to podcasts, join a new community - there are various ways to get new influences. By connecting with new influences you are opening yourself up to new opportunities or interests, that you have not discovered yet. A new interest could lead to you finding your purpose. 

6. Create A Vision Board

As a child or teenager, many of us will remember creating a vision board with all the various things we wanted to do or achieve in our adult life. Create a vision board with all the things you want to achieve now and in the future, hopefully, you will be able to notice trends and it should be able to lead you to similar interests and what you want to do.

Finding your purpose is so important as it can affect so many areas of your life. If you are focused on bettering yourself and having as many meaningful experiences in your life, finding your purpose is essential. At the end of the day, we all have a purpose and are here for a reason whether or not we realise it.
