The Best Ways to Find Your Purpose at Any Age
2:52:14 2023-10-21 415

1-Ask yourself questions

Interviewing yourself can help you identify what matters to you. How can you know what you really want if you don’t ask yourself about it? Being confident in your passions, hopes, and values can help you find your purpose. Take a few moments to ask yourself some of these questions to learn more about yourself:

  • When have you been happiest in your life?
  • What has made you truly proud of yourself?
  • What qualities do you most admire in other people?
  • What makes you feel alive and energized?
  • How happy do you feel on an everyday basis?
  • If you had one week to live, how would you spend that week?
  • What shoulds are overriding your wants?
  • If you could change one thing about the world, what would it be?
  • What one change could make your life happier?

2- Explore your passions

Trying new things can help you understand what brings you joy. Think about what you enjoy spending the most time doing. Perhaps you like singing, being in nature, cooking, working out, writing, or performing well at work. The things you love to do are your passions. Diving head first into hobbies or other things you enjoy can help you find meaning in life.

  • More often than not, your passions are activities that you often lose track of time while doing.
  • Focus on what makes you happy rather than the materialistic or societal value of something. Your true passions ultimately fill your heart with joy.

3- Join a club or cause

Putting yourself out there can help you find a purpose in life. Think about your interests or passions, then join a social club or cause surrounding that activity or thing. This is an excellent way to meet new people and motivate you to be involved in your community or do something important.

  • For instance, if you’re passionate about animals, consider joining a cause to end deforestation.
  • If you value safety, join the neighborhood watch.

4- Think about your future

Imagining yourself 30 years from now can help you determine your goals. Backward planning is the idea of thinking ahead to plan for the present. Take a moment to imagine yourself at 50, 70, or 80 years old. What’s your job? Are you in a relationship? Where are you living? Now, think about what you can do to reach that point right now.

  • For example, say you picture yourself at 80 years old, surrounded by great-grandchildren, happily retired after a successful career helping your community, and living in your own home with a lot of land. This image means you want a family, a career helping others, and to live independently in a rural setting.

5- Develop a growth mindset

Challenging yourself to change can help you find your purpose. Embracing change and facing challenges is all a part of growing up, and you can’t find your life’s purpose without a bit of growth. If you have a growth mindset, you believe that hard work and dedication help you become the best version of yourself. Understanding that life is full of learning experiences can help you identify what matters most to you. To develop a growth mindset:

  • Look at challenges or obstacles as new learning opportunities.
  • Accept feedback and criticism with an open mind.
  • Keep moving forward even if you fail.

6- Give back to your community

Helping others can broaden your perspective on life. Everyone walks in different shoes, and helping others is a great way to help yourself. Look for opportunities in your community to lend a helping hand. Performing random acts of kindness can help you practice gratitude and discover what you want most in life.

  •  Volunteer at your local soup kitchen, hospital, or animal shelter.
  • Ask a neighbor if they need help mowing their lawn or getting groceries.
  • Bring a loved one baked treats if they're sick or feeling low.
