How To Live From Purpose

If you are not feeling content with your life then it is likely that you do not know what your true purpose in life is. Without this you will not be focused on the things that make you truly happy. You will either drift through life or find yourself stuck.

In this short and powerful report, you will learn why it is so important for you to find your WHY and provide you with the 12 questions to ask yourself to uncover it. We urge you to read every word of this report and take action to create an inspiring WHY statement that will drive you forward and provide you with total fulfillment.

People always do things for a Reason

There is a reason behind everything that you do. You may not realize this but it is true. Most of the things that you do every day are on autopilot such as brushing your teeth and taking a shower. You don’t think about these things you just do them.

But behind all of your actions is a reason. You brush your teeth and bathe each day because you do not want to smell bad and be dirty. You make the journey to your place of work each day because of the reward you receive and what it means to you and your family.

OK, these things are obvious but it is not always. As human beings you are aware of WHAT you do and HOW you do it. The WHAT part is usually obvious and the HOW part is something that you have learned over the years.

The most difficult thing to understand is WHY you do the things you do. Most people will do things that they don’t want to do and accept this as part of life. For example, there are plenty of people that work a job that they hate.

They do this because they feel that they have to. They lack confidence in themselves to find a better job, although they may have skills that could pivot them into a better more suitable position. Instead, they are happy to just drift along taking anything that they can living a desperate unfulfilled life.

But, how do you attain fulfillment?

The only real way to attain fulfillment is to understand what your true purpose is in life is. Once you know this you will be able to set goals that allow you to attain fulfillment. Don’t get sucked in to all of the nebulous questions around such as “why are we here?” and “what is the purpose of life?”

These questions are likely to conjure up negative thoughts in your head. We believe that all individuals create their own purpose in life. There is no “one size fits all” answer to the question “what is the purpose of life?” You answer that question in your own way.

Your mind is a very powerful tool. Use it to your advantage to determine your life’s purpose. Where are you in your life right now? Your previous thoughts are responsible for everything that you have or don’t have in your life right now.

6 Powerful Reasons why you should Write a Personal WHY Statement

When you have a personal WHY statement that you have given a lot of thought to and committed to your life will change for the better. The most important reason for creating a WHY statement is the clarity that it will provide to you.

When you have this clarity, you will be able to focus on the things that really matter to you. It will provide you with a blueprint for your future life. Your WHY statement will reveal your true purpose in life and the values that are important to you.

While it’s not always easy to write a strong and compelling WHY statement, you can do it and you must do it. Once you have your WHY statement then you must live by it every day as this is the fastest way to fulfillment.

1. Your WHY Statement determines what you want

The reason that a lot of people fail to achieve goals that they set is because they do not really want to achieve them. If that sounds crazy then please read on and we will explain. When you know your true purpose in life you will be able to set goals that align with this.

As soon as you have a WHY statement that you are truly happy with then it will be straight forward for you to set related goals and be motivated every day to achieve them. When you know what you truly want from life you will do everything to achieve them.

2. Improved Focus

It is very easy to get distracted in the modern world. Although the Internet is a wonderful thing, it can steal your time like nothing else. If you do not have a clear focus in your life then it will be easy for you to become distracted. Other people can influence you to set goals that you are not truly committed to for example.

When your personal WHY statement is complete you will be certain about what you need to do next. You will have total focus which will enable you to prioritize the things that you do to achieve goals that align with your WHY statement.

3. Your Decision Making will improve

The clarity of a compelling WHY statement will enable you to make better decisions in your life. All decisions, both small and large, are covered here. Without true clarity in your life it is more likely that the decisions you make will not be the best ones.

You will consider all of your decisions against your WHY statement. Internally you will ask yourself “is this a good choice for my life’s purpose?” and then be able to instantly decide the right thing to do.

4. Greater Accountability

People that drift along in life have little accountability. If things go wrong for them it is always someone else’s fault. They make decisions with little regards for the possible consequences.

Having a personal WHY statement that really resonates with you will make you much more accountable. You will consider the consequences of everything that you do in the future and the impact that this will have on others.

5. More Resilient

When you have a personal WHY statement that you are truly committed to it should make you more resilient to the challenges that will come your way. In the past, problems may have overwhelmed you and made you procrastinate. When you have a strong WHY statement you can change all of that.

After identifying your purpose in life you will become more confident and believe that you have the power to overcome any obstacle that is in your way. It will be easier for you to let go of things that are not important and you will learn from any mistakes that you make. Increased resilience will enable you to bounce back from any setback.

6. Happier and Healthier

It is a real “Eureka” moment to discover your true purpose in life. When you do this you will be able to look forward to the future with a high degree of certainty. This will have a dramatic effect on your happiness because you finally have clarity and you are no longer stuck in your life.

There are a number of studies that have shown that when a person knows their life purpose it has a significant effect on their health as well. It all goes hand in hand really. When you are happier you tend to be healthier. When you are optimistic about your future this will give your health a boost as well.

Now it’s Time to Identify your WHY

Now that you know the incredible benefits of creating your personal WHY statement it is time to discover your true life’s purpose. A lot of people try to uncover this but fail because they do not use the right methods.

In this report we will show you the best way to identify your WHY. It is not going to be an easy ride for you and you will have to put in some mental effort here. But it is totally worth it as after you have discovered your true purpose you will be able to shape your life exactly as you want it.

The best way to discover your WHY is by asking yourself some specific questions. We will provide you with those questions here. As you ask each question, think about it really carefully. There is no rush with this, so take all the time you need to answer the questions, then identify patterns and trends to help with your discovery.

Before getting started, schedule a time and quiet place where you will not be disturbed for a while. Gather a pen and paper or your journal, a cup of tea or coffee, and get comfortable. Are you ready?

Let’s get to the 8 questions.

1. How Can You Improve the Lives of Others?

When you are able to improve the lives of others you will get a very warm feeling inside and you will be very happy with your own life. Numerous studies have shown that people that know their WHY and live a life of gratitude are able to make a significant contribution to the world and help many people.

Having an attitude of gratitude means that you appreciate what you have in your life right now and this includes the people that have helped you get where you are. With this attitude you will really want to give back to these people and others that you have not met yet. There are many ways that you can help other people.

When your WHY statement includes the way that you can help many other people it will have a very powerful effect on you. You will be totally driven by this and it can help bring you all of the things that you desire in your life.

2.What Do You Enjoy Doing That Makes Time Fly?

When you are really enjoying doing something it seems like time is truly flying by. This is because you are passionate about doing these things and you are not focusing on the passing of time. If you are bored then you are more likely to concentrate on the clock. People in jobs that they hate often do this.

You will have a lot more energy when you pursue your passions, living out your life’s purpose. People that do things they don’t enjoy each day tend to be drained of energy at the end of it.

3. What Things Did You Enjoying When You Were a Kid

One of the most powerful questions you can ask yourself to discover your WHY is to think back when you were a child and those things that you really had fun doing. You will probably have a lot of fond memories here, so try to identify any patterns as to why these things were so enjoyable for you.

Once you identify these patterns you will find that they can serve as important clues to your real life’s purpose. Are there things that you really enjoyed as a kid that you carried through to adulthood and still do to this day?

Due to the negative experiences and pressures we were exposed to on our journey to adulthood, many of us lose sight of the things we really enjoyed as a kid. This creates a “disconnect” within us and our focus changes from things that we really enjoy to things that we feel we have to do because of the rewards associated with them – like working a job you hate.

4. What Would You Do Even If It Made You Look Stupid?

If you really want to learn how to do something passionately then it doesn’t matter how stupid you look when you are first starting out. Everyone has to start from the beginning and if it something you truly want, then you will persevere regardless of what others think it.

So, think about those things that you are prepared to do even if there is an embarrassing outcome for you in the beginning. Maybe you really want to learn a martial art and you know that you are going to make a lot of mistakes initially and face the possibility of people laughing at you. If it is a true passion of yours then you will not care about this.

Too many people let this feeling of stupidity prevent them from pursuing their passions. They will not go to college to learn something new because they do not want to be embarrassed in the class for example. Don’t miss out any more! Be sure to write down all of the things that you want to do no matter how stupid you look.

5. What Would You Do If Your Time Was Running Out?

A few days ago one of my friends who has been battling cancer was told she only has six to eight months to live. My question to her was “What things do you really want to do that you have been off? We started making a list and an action plan for the most important thing on her list. So, imagine that you have been told that you only have one more year left to live. What are the things you would do in your final year? There is nothing like death being around the corner to sharpen your concentration and think about the things that mean the most to you. How do you want to be remembered after you are gone?

We understand that nobody wants to think about dying but this is a very effective way to identify what your real priorities and true values are. So please do not skip this question as you will find it will reveal some very important details that will shape your WHY statement.

6. If You Had the Opportunity to Teach Others, What Would You Teach Them?

When you ask yourself this question, it will greatly assist you to find out how you can really make a significant contribution to the world. You have valuable knowledge that is especially useful for younger generations who do not have your knowhow and experience.

Asking yourself this question also forces you to think about the different talents you have which you can use to teach others how to become competent as well. Here are another couple of great questions that you can ask yourself here “how can I improve other people’s lives?” and “where is there a gap in the knowledge that people have?”

7. What Things Are You Being Paid for That You Would Do for Free?

This question forces you to think about the work that you do either in a job or your own business. It helps you to identify the things about your work that you are really passionate about. There is usually something about a job that you really like so think carefully about this.

When you are working what things come really easily to you? Do you enjoy these things so much that you would do them for free? We are not recommending that you do everything for nothing here. It is about identifying the things you are truly passionate about so you can create a powerful WHY statement

8. If You Did Not Have to Worry About Money, And Believed You Could Achieve Anything, What Would You Do?

If you were financially free, how would you spend your time?
What passions would you pursue in your life if you had no money worries?
If you believe that you can literally do anything then what are the things you would choose to do?

People are often driven by the need to make more money and the things that this will bring them. If you had all of the money that you could ever want then how would this change your life? We all only have so much time so how would you spend yours?
