Finding Your Purpose

Finding your purpose is a major goal in life.  We often struggle to know what our main purpose in life is.  Today we are going to define your gift, passion, and purpose in life.

First, let’s start by defining your gift.

Gift

Your gift is your talent. It’s what you’re inherently good at. Your gift is your unique tool of choice to help someone.  It’s what you do naturally when someone comes to you for help.  Consider your gift to be a strength that you may have had since you were young.  You may have a few gifts.  Gifts can be the power of communication, time management, amazing vocals, etc.

Passion

Your passion is your outlet right now.  It’s your current choice of where you’re using your gift.  This can be on a blog, in video, on stage, etc.  Your passion can change over time.  It’s what you’re excited about right now in order to share your unique gift.

Purpose

Your purpose is why you want to help others.  It’s your mission in life.  You’ve probably been through some difficult times in your life and your purpose is why you went through them.  It’s helping someone who is currently where you were get through that difficulty much faster and easier.  Your purpose helps others avoid the pain and the difficulties you went through.  You may even be able to help them avoid the struggle altogether.

Over time your purpose gets a deeper meaning.  It helps you give meaning to your past and what you went through.  Sometimes you wonder why you’ve had to endure some of the difficulties in your life.  Finding your purpose in these struggles.

If you struggle finding your purpose you may be too close to it.  Ask a friend “what have I been through that I can help other people get through”?

The key is, you must have overcome or found a solution to this struggle already.  If you’re still in the struggle, you can’t help someone overcome it just yet.

Find ways to use your purpose in a passion.  Finding your purpose will allow you to live a happier and more fulfilled life.  Your purpose is your why.  It’s your fuel behind why you do what you do.

I wanted to share with you my gift, passion, and purpose.  When I think about my gift, I think about my strengths.  I love strategizing ways make things happen. Whether it’s rearranging a schedule or planning a different course of action.  Even from a young age, my mind was always coming up with a way to achieve my goal.  I am an absolute planner where I plan my week and vacations.  I like having a plan to go by so I am prepared and know what’s coming.

My current passion is this blog. Again, my passion can change.  In the future my passion may be live or recorded video.  My passion is what I’m currently excited about and what feels good to me in order to use my gift and live my purpose.

My purpose is to help high achievers live a happier and more fulfilling dream life.  A few years ago, I went through my own personal struggle.  I had just achieved a big goal of mine and I didn’t know what was next.  I was lost.  I never want anyone to feel the despair and negativity that I felt by not knowing what goal to work on next.  It became my purpose to help others make sure they always have something to work towards so that they will continue to live a positive life they are excited about.  I share my strategies on this blog so that I can help high achievers live a more positive and fulfilling dream life.

Your gift is your undeniable talent.  Your purpose is the reason why you do what you do, which will grow and deepen as time goes on.  Your passion is the way you are sharing your gift with the world, which may change over time.  A singer's gift is their voice.  Their purpose is to heal people through song.  Their passion is to sing on stage, or it may evolve into producing a record album.  Finding your purpose, passion, and gift will give your life more meaning.
