Our purpose is rarely just “found” randomly one day; rather it is self-defined. The universe has given us a few hints about what that purpose might be:
1. Aliveness
Since we are all clearly alive, then perhaps a hint to our purpose might involve being fully alive.
We have to ask: What am I doing to make myself feel alive?
2. Uniqueness
Since we are all unique, then perhaps a hint is to be our genuine and unique selves throughout life without apology.
We have to ask: Am I living my life uniquely?
3. Connection
Since we’re all connected and driven by belonging and love, perhaps a hint is to create meaningful connections and loving relationships.
We have to ask: How are we doing in our relationships? Could we give more purpose to those relationships so that you can sense more purpose in life?
4. Intention
Since we’ve all been granted with free will and consciousness, perhaps we are to use that power to be intentional and visionary versus impulsive and reactive.
We have to ask: What’s this day going to be about? What’s the purpose of this day? What’s the purpose of tomorrow?
The more we are intentional about setting our own purpose each day, the more likely we finish our lives and say, “I lived a life of purpose.”
