[Your IT Session 3] What’s Your Lifes Purpose?
The search to discover what your life purpose is really doesn’t have to be that difficult. People spend a fortune in time and money to discover what it might be when really it’s quite simple.
All you need to do is ask yourself!
I know, that’s way too simplistic but consider this…. Who knows you better than you do?
The thing is we have been taught to find answers from our parents, from our teachers, from our boss, from our friends, we are so caught up in discovering answers about who we are and what we should be doing in other people that we forget to stop and ask ourselves.
What have you always loved to do?
There will be something since childhood that you have spent your life doing. Its completely natural to you so you may be overlooking it.
Now’s the time to begin the journey of trusting yourself and the answers you have within you.
Start small. Every day smile at someone, or if someone is unhappy cheer them up. Say thank you to someone, praise someone for a job well done. Begin to be of service to other people in small ways that are completely free and take up seconds in your day and see how that makes you feel.
Also ask the question. “What is my purpose in life? I am ready to discover it and I give thanks for having it revealed to me”
Say that (or even better make up your own line) as often as you can. Say it in the morning, during the day, before going to sleep and allow your unconscious mind time to bring it to your attention.
There is no time limit to this so don’t give up after two days because you don’t have an answer, just keep asking the question and the answer will be revealed to you.
In the meantime while you wait be of service to others in whatever way fills you with joy and you will find that before long your purpose will be revealed.

Diane,
This is such a huge topic. I believe that our happiness is wrapped around discovering and living our purpose in life. People tend to over analyze this topic which makes uncovering their purpose so difficult. It doesn’t need to be!
Here’s a tip on discovering your life purpose: Think back, starting from childhood, and identify the times in your life when you felt really good, really happy and time just stood still. What were you doing, who were you with? Were you talking or listening. Were you with others or alone? The key to knowing what you’re meant to be doing is identifying what makes you happy.
When you start thinking this way, ideas will come to you and in a moment you’ll have that “aha” clarity of what you’re meant to be doing.
Thanks for the tip. Our happiness definitely is inherent with living our purpose but unfortunately too many people miss the point and get wrapped up in trying to discover what their purpose is….
So if you’re reading this and that’s you relax a little. When you let go you will be surprised at how much comes to you!
Diane,
Our purpose also lies in realising that living in peace with others, the foundation of happiness, is our purpose and finding ways to allow others the freedom to do the same, helping them to achieve and explore their happiness in their way. How we support, encourage and motivate others in a way that causes us to gain and be fulfilled is where we find our purpose – effortlessly.
