A few months ago, I decided to launch my own online job search and career consulting project. After a while, I noticed that among the standard questions of my clients “how to compose”, “how to behave in an interview”, I very often hear a completely different, deeper request: “how to understand what I like to do?” and “how to start doing what you love and connect it with work?”.

It turned out that my clients aged 25 to 35 do not experience satisfaction from the mere presence of a prestigious job with a good salary, but make completely different demands on the job and the employer. It is important for them that they enjoy the activity, (everything more people want a free schedule and remote work), and they also prefer to understand some deep meaning of their activities and know what benefits they will bring.

Naturally, with such high expectations, these people are doomed to constant dissatisfaction with their work. Not having a clear idea of ​​​​their interests or not finding an opportunity to combine them with work, “shifting papers” from 9 to 18 in the office instead of saving the world, they get less and less pleasure from work. Yearning, they cherish the dream of dropping everything and leaving for the warmth, in order to indulge in the search for themselves and their vocation, hoping to find a magical recipe for a harmonious cocktail of pleasure, meaning and work.

In my opinion, such a trip will be just a change of scenery. Will there be an answer? Maybe. But I don't think it's necessary to travel far for that. I am convinced that each of us deep down knows his calling. It’s just that someone reveals it at the age of four, and someone remembers at 80. But no matter how old you are, the search for a vocation is always an exciting journey and not at all tropical country! And it is also painstaking, jewelry work that requires courage, creativity and perseverance. Indeed, in order to prepare your exclusive culinary masterpiece, it is not enough to find good recipe. You'll have to first learn how to cook it, and then experiment many times to pick up ideal proportions and our own unique ingredients.

For my clients, I decided to study in detail the scope of the search for a vocation, collect the maximum and choose the best. In the last three months of deep diving alone, I have accumulated more than 100 exercises, and yet I just opened the door to this interesting world. Some exercises are hints and help to determine the vocation, others allow you to transform it into new job or to harmonize with the existing one. I am happy to share my findings with you!

For those who are ready to go to independent travel, made a universal route in seven days. Naturally, the timing for each will be individual. Perhaps someone will find the answer on the first day, and someone will need to take a break after each task for thoughtful reflection. But the timing is not the most important thing, especially if the trip is exciting. Well, are you ready? Go!

The first day. Look into the future and dream

Our fantasies are not only a storehouse of information about ourselves and our goals, but also a powerful source of motivation for their realization. To make it easier to fantasize, let's play a game. Imagine that you are a kind of hundred-year-old dreamer-lucky. Not only did you live in your mind and health to such a serious name day, you were also incredibly lucky in life, and you achieved fantastic success in everything you undertook. Healthy, prosperous, live in abundance, in a word, prosper. Your relatives and friends have gathered to congratulate you and celebrate this significant event with you. Or maybe not only friends, but also reporters, the press, celebrities ...

Represented? Now remember all your happy life full of interesting and exciting events. What were you doing? What they were doing? Where, in what environment? Who was next to you? What did you feel? Describe your lifestyle, everything that was important to you, all areas of life. Preferably on paper or in a text editor.

Then read your text, preferably out loud, paying attention to how you feel and how your voice sounds. Do you really want these fantasies to become reality? Are you ready to try?

In order to be where you want to be in 100 years, you need to start the path in the chosen direction right now.

Second day. Allow yourself everything and dream

Very often, our calling is hidden somewhere between the area of ​​​​our interests, the sphere of innermost desires and a few deeply hidden and forgotten childhood dreams. We are so afraid of this Pandora's box that we hide it far away in the closet of our memory, so that later we can hastily push into it everything that we wanted, but did not come true, was planned, but did not come true. And then forget.

In order to open the veil and take another step towards your calling, you will need to get this box, blow off the dust and carefully shake out everything that you stuffed into it. Think of all your dreams, desires, interests, and everything you've ever wanted to try, and write it down. To complete the picture, add a list of improbabilities to them. Do not limit your imagination: the more points you write, even the most ridiculous ones, the better. Let them be 100 or more, but not less than 20.

By the way, this exercise has an interesting side effect. Save the list and check it after a while. Some of your wishes will come true by themselves, without your participation. For everything to come true, some actions will need to be taken, but that's a completely different story.

When we were little, each of us knew our purpose. If you have forgotten what you dreamed about as a child, ask your relatives.

Day three. Design your ideal contract

Imagine you are a star! You are so professional, in demand and popular that "headhunters" are chasing you, ready to do anything to get you. You are offered to sign a contract with an ideal salary, in which you are allowed to independently choose what you will do, in what field and under what conditions. Yes, you are the lucky one!

You, of course, guess that each of us actually has such an opportunity? If not, I'm sharing a secret with you. Modern world offers a choice of a wide variety of professions and fields of activity, any options for work schedules and other conditions. Unfortunately, very often many do not know what they want, or do not want to make an effort to achieve what they want. Or, for some reason, they do not find the opportunity to sit down and think seriously about this issue.

So let yourself be puzzled by it right now and choose perfect job. Let's think broader, because we ourselves are the authors of all our limits and limitations. Have 100 items on your list, or at least 20. By the way, this exercise is useful to do from time to time, as your preferences may change and it is important to adjust your ideal contract so that the work continues to inspire you.

It is worth not only to draw up your ideal contract, but also to review it from time to time. Our preferences can change and it is important to make adjustments in time so that our work continues to inspire us.

Day four. What would you like to give to others?

All of us . We live in a society and cannot exist independently, on our own. Therefore, it always alarms me when I hear that someone wants to do something exclusively for themselves. Wants to have fun in the process, achieve self-realization through favorite activities and get satisfaction from achieving results. All these desires are beautiful, but the questions “Why?”, “Why are you?”, “What is your meaning?” remain unanswered.

It seems to me that such an egocentric position is initially inferior and flawed in relation to the one in which the motive to “give” is present. Activity can bring complete satisfaction only if you share something with others, serve them. And transforming your favorite pastime into a job is possible only if you find a way to benefit others through your activities.

A combination of answers to the questions "Why?" and “What do I want to give to others?” will give the very meaning without which complete satisfaction from work is impossible.

Day five. What do you like and really enjoy?

Up to this day, we have focused on your dreams, interests, desires, and what you would like to do. You were not limited by anything except your fantasies and self-created limitations. Your dreams, interests and desires are the guides to your work, but they contain a certain amount of risk. If most of them have remained in the fantasy world and you have not tried to realize them, you cannot be sure that this is exactly what you like and enjoy. Nevertheless, these lists are very important for discovering a calling. Let's leave them for a while.

Now we will return from the realm of fantasy to real world. Your personal experience is another important source of information on the path to your calling. By carefully going through all your attempts to do something and the degree of your pleasure in the process, you can also find clues that will lead you to a calling.

Remember what you really like to do and what you definitely enjoy - in past jobs, while studying, during any other activity that you did. As a reminder, the key difference from the list you made on Day 2 is that you've tried it, and you know you're enjoying it. As usual, aim for 100 pips and keep them at least 20.

To be sure that you really like it and bring pleasure, you can only try what you dreamed about. Look for your calling in your experience and experiment more with your fantasies and interests.

Day six. Your talents, abilities, skills and their reflection in others

Each of us has many talents, whether we develop them or not. Think about what you are doing well, what have you achieved heights and achievements in? You probably have something that you know how to do better than others. Don't know about it? Remember what requests you usually receive. Don't remember? Then take a chance and ask! Call your relatives and friends and ask them what they would lose if they did not know you. Be prepared for the most unexpected answers. You will definitely learn a lot of interesting things! :)

Your talents and abilities will point you in the right direction to your calling. Do not know what you are strong in - ask others!

Day seven. Role, skill, vocation

The seventh day is a day of analysis and answering questions. Read each list and analyze it. Pay attention to the points that:

  • repeated several times;
  • seem to you the most valuable and important right now;
  • cause you a special response and awe.

Choose about 10 items from each list (the number of items is not a strict parameter). Divide the items into four groups:

  • Field of activity (medicine, art, sports, and so on).
  • The essence of the activity (what exactly to do, what to do).
  • Conditions (where, how, with whom, what time).
  • Qualities and skills (how and what I can do).

Record all items on clean slate A4 or in a new document text editor. Add a description of your ideal lifestyle from day one and answers to the question “What do I want to give to others” from day four.

Analyze the resulting description and answer the questions: “What am I really do in peace when I do this?”, “What am I really I give the world when I do this?”, “What is my real role when I do this?”, “What is my exceptional gift what is mine skill And vocation when do I do it? Take your time, these questions require serious thought. The answers to them will allow you to find yourself.

Want to connect with work? Abstract and look at the result as if from the outside, as if it was not written by you, but by another person. Write job options that would fit such a request. Show to others and ask them to name options for a job that suits you. If you have the courage, publish it on the networks. How more you will show people with different professional erudition, especially variety of options get work. It is desirable to get a list of 20-30 various options professions. Choose one or two or three of them that you like the most.

Assess reality. To what extent what you are doing now is close and consonant with your request. Consider a strategy. Cardinal change? Smooth transition? Work at the same job, but the vocation to make a hobby and develop in an interesting direction in parallel? Write a plan. Take the first step. Check experimentally.

This will take several months or years. Scary? Be afraid, but do it. These few months or years will still pass sooner or later, and you either try or not. Hurry, because no one knows when his centennial anniversary will come. Remember, happiness is not the final destination, it is the journey itself. Even a few seconds closer to your ideal life is already a result.

How to find your purpose?

How to become successful person?

Purpose and success are intertwined. All successful people say:

  • those who do what they love achieve success;
  • Your work inspires and motivates you;
  • You are ready to engage in it at any time of the day or night;
  • You continue to work even when you are not paid for it.
  • You are ready to work for free, because you like this business;
  • You are constantly learning, developing and raising the level of your professionalism.
  • You are ready to pay for your knowledge, skills and abilities;
  • You become a sought-after specialist.

Many listening to these good advice nod their heads in agreement. But at the same time they complain that

  • can't decide on their specific niche,
  • unable to focus on a specific task,
  • unable to determine their purpose.

What to focus on?

What to choose?

What to become in order to get financial stability and enjoy doing what you love?

Everyone asks these questions: starting from the parents of 2-3 year old children who are responsible for the development of the child.

These questions are of concern to school graduates who are determined with the choice future profession.

The same question is asked by adults who have experienced disappointment and dissatisfaction from work that does not please them.

It becomes clear: you can’t get stuck and give up. Especially when you see that there is no growth: neither financial nor personal. Especially if you do not get moral satisfaction from work. Then you start to burn out, go into negativity, and then into depression and psycho-somatic illnesses. And the most unpleasant thing is when you are generally left “out of life”: you don’t have a job now. You feel like a poor old woman with nothing from A.S. Pushkin.

In every situation there are 2 sides: in any case, you need to look for positive moments. If you are unemployed, then you have time to rethink your life. Relax, switch off all distractions and listen helpful tips.

Listen to helpful tips.

Ask your family, friends and acquaintances: in what, in their opinion, are you a pro?

Observe and analyze: what questions do you get asked for help most often?

What do you do in free time? What occupation do you enjoy?

You don't have to follow everyone or be like everyone else.

Look for yourself!

Analyze, try.

Communicate with people of those professions that interest you.

Listen to their opinion.

Learn from their experience.

Weigh and consider: how much time and effort it will take you personally to achieve good results in your chosen profession? (The 10,000 hour rule).
Don't be afraid to make mistakes. Mistakes are not failures and disappointments. This is also an experience. You can always change the type of activity. If you are bored, if you are overwhelmed by apathy, if laziness is pressing on you, you need to either change the type of activity, or go deeper and get the necessary portion of additional knowledge in order to do your job masterfully.

Let's talk about tests.

What exactly do I like?

It often happens that after passing the tests, an average picture is obtained. A person more or less understands everything, but he cannot determine what exactly to do. So who am I and how do I find my purpose?

And now we are returning to today, getting to know ourselves in a new way, the real one: we rely on our successes, talents, inclinations, experience, abilities. We make a plan and start working.

P.S. I wish you active discoveries in knowing yourself and success on the way to your dream.

What do you think about it?

Have you found your purpose?

Perhaps you have problems or wishes?

Write in the comments below.

Every person in this world has a purpose. And if you live exactly as you are destined by fate, your life will be easy and interesting. You will enjoy every day of your life.

If you follow a path that is not intended for you, you will not receive any satisfaction and pleasure from your existence on planet Earth. Every day will drag on painfully long, work will only bring negative emotions, and the person himself will subconsciously constantly experience an incomprehensible feeling of guilt and an oppressive spiritual emptiness.

How do you know your purpose in life? Let's try to figure it out in order to find the right answer to this important and serious question.

Why do we go our own way in life?

There are many aspects that cause a person to do something completely different from what he should be doing. Consider the most common of them.

1. You don't believe in yourself. It would seem that it is difficult to believe in yourself and take life into your own hands, changing it so that every day you live gives a lot positive emotions and a sense of complete satisfaction. But talking about it is easy, but bringing this concept to life is much more difficult. You need to realize and accept the fact that everything depends only on you. You can go to a low-paid job for years that annoys you and morally kills you, and wait for a magical fairy to appear in your life, a prince on a white horse, an aunt with country house in Miami or any other fairy tale character who wants to give you a lot of money and change your life in better side. But the truth is that it is up to you how you live. You just need to take and, despite the fear, do what you have always dreamed of.

2. You are notthink about yourself, but want to please family, friends, society. Consider this problem on the example of a young guy Petya, who with early childhood dreamed of becoming a writer. At school, he was actively engaged in what he loved, wrote articles for the school newspaper, composed short stories and felt great. After graduating from school, Petya realized that he needed to develop and become a serious writer. But the guy's parents were categorically opposed to him continuing to do what he loved. Dad told his son that with such a profession he would collect alms on the porch, and mom cited disappointing statistics and said that no one would publish Peter's stories, because he was an amateur, of which there are many, and not a professional. Petya thought a lot about this, and then decided that his parents would not give bad advice. Therefore, he entered the University of Economics and after graduating he got a job in a bank. Now the usual manager Petya, issuing another loan for another microwave oven, bitterly regrets that he once allowed his father and mother to make such an important decision instead of him.

3. You only think about material things. If you think that money is the most important thing in life and it’s worth waking up in the morning just for the sake of it, then it will be quite difficult for you to find your purpose. It is possible that you will achieve significant success, but the inner vacuum that you will constantly feel will not allow you to fully enjoy a high social status. No one argues with the statement that life without money is not very fun. But they are not ends, but only means. Keep this in mind the next time you do important choice between what you like and what makes a profit.

One purpose for life - myth or reality?

Many people think that purpose is something that you need to find just once in your life, and then quietly exist and enjoy the rest of your life. However, this statement is not true.

You should not look for your destiny ten, fifteen, twenty or even thirty years in advance. Life changes and we change with it. What yesterday pleased and gave a lot of positive feelings, tomorrow can only cause boredom and a feeling of disgust.

There are people who do what they love all their adult lives and get incredible pleasure from this activity. But there are very few such individuals.

Looking for your purpose for 2-3 years ahead. This is the most best option. During this time, you can really understand whether you are moving in the right direction or have chosen the wrong path.

This method is one of the simplest and most effective. To determine your destination using this method, find a secluded place where no one will disturb you. Turn off your phone, TV, music, be alone with your thoughts. Close your eyes and imagine that you have won one billion dollars. Imagine that this colossal amount (if you spend 20 thousand dollars every day, then this money will last you 137 years) at your disposal. Now think about what you would do with all this money, but you would do it not for yourself, but for other people. Would you open your own restaurant because you know how to cook very tasty? Would you start making exclusive furniture because you like working with wood since childhood? Would you like to create a shelter for homeless animals, since you dream of all the animals finding their home?

Only you know what you really want. Neither society nor circumstances can dictate to you how to live and what to do. Do not think if you are making the right decision. If it resonates in your heart, then this is exactly what your really need.

And now let's make our brain work a little in the opposite direction. This method may seem sad, but it really works and helps to determine your purpose in life. Close your eyes and imagine that you have died and today is the day of your funeral. All your relatives, relatives, friends, comrades gathered around the coffin. They are all dressed in black clothes. Funeral music plays, people around cry and mourn.

Your soul or astral body stands near the grave and silently watches what is happening. You hear people talking about you, and the priest talks about how you were when you were alive wonderful person what you have achieved and how much good you have done for other people.

Formulate in your head the text that the priest says, very clearly and clearly. Consider every word. Think carefully about what exactly you would like to hear about yourself in this situation. By thinking about it, you trick your brain and make it think about the future as if it were already the past. This method will help you realize your "I" and find the right path, thanks to which you will no longer live a single meaningless day.

We cross out, cross out and ... find our purpose

If you do not like to work with the imagination, try to find out your purpose using the third method. You will need a printed list of verbs and a list of fields of activity. You can find them on the Internet. They are in the public domain.

Take lists and a pen, find a secluded spot. First, cross off the lists those verbs and areas of activity that you absolutely do not like. Then cross out those that you are neutral about. From the remaining positions, select 3-4 options that delight you and find an inner response.

If we are talking about verbs, it can be such verbs as “help”, “advise”, “treat”, “explore”. As for the areas of activity, it can be “beauty industry”, “medicine”, etc.

The World Wide Web receives more than 6,000 destination requests every day. But what is purpose and why some seek it, while others do not. In this article, you will learn about 4 myths of destination and its search. You will find answers to the questions where to look for its purpose, is it possible to find it yourself or do you need to contact a specialist, how long will it take to search and what to do while you are looking for? But first things first.

What is Purpose.

You have probably noticed more than once that when a person clearly shows some quality, his environment is in a hurry to hang a certain label on him. If a girl sincerely shows her emotions, she is told that she will become an actress, a boy likes to spend time with his father in the garage, he is immediately told that he will become a driver or repair cars. Thus, there is a stereotype that ...

Myth #1. A vocation is something like a job or profession, I will pass a special test and find out my purpose.

Many people mistakenly believe that their destiny or calling has something to do with their practical skills. For example, fixing computers, being a doctor, working in a bank or on television - all this is not a mission, it's just a way of expressing it. There can be as many manifestations of your destiny through a profession or some business as you want. When you clarify for yourself what your purpose is, you can change your occupation, business or profession more than once during your life - write books, appear on TV, get the title of master of sports, and then become a chef. And no matter how different your activity is, every time you will clearly understand that you are realizing your potential and your destiny.

Purpose is what you can offer people, how you can help them, realizing your main qualities, following your highest values. This is what you are ready to do from morning until late at night, all night long. When what you do energizes you and you are ready to do it even for free. Knowing and understanding your destiny, you will be able to reach such heights that you did not even know and did not dream of.

But not everything is so simple and unambiguous. You are probably deluded if you think that...

Myth #2. If I find a purpose, it will open access to unlimited resources and give me happiness, money, and whatever I want.

By following your destiny, you will be able to achieve success, happiness and harmony in all areas of life. But the mere awareness of your destiny still does not guarantee you anything. Two more important factors need to be added to awareness:

  • Make a decision to live in accordance with your Purpose
  • Take action every day in small steps.

After all, you still have to work and achieve your goals yourself. Nobody will do it for you. Like many others, you will have downturns, it will seem that you have chosen the wrong path, at some point you may want to give up everything and return to old life. But if everything were so simple, then there would probably be neither hunger nor poverty in the world. What distinguishes successful people who live in accordance with their calling from others is to act in spite of difficulties and obstacles, in spite of the fact that other people tell you that you are wrong, that you are crazy. Successful people believe that all difficulties are just sports barriers that need to be overcome on the way to their goal.

And so, when you prove with your real actions that you would not just like to follow your destiny, but are ready for daily work and never back down from your goal, no matter what difficulties lie in wait for you. It is at this moment that the Universe, seeing the seriousness of your intentions, begins to help you. Necessary and necessary things appear in your life interesting people You easily conclude any deals, you feel gratitude from other people for your business and this gives you new strength and new ideas.

That is why many people think that...

Myth #3. You need to find your purpose at all costs, otherwise life is meaningless.

Destiny is not the holy grail, it won't solve all your problems. By realizing it, you will only be able to better understand your path. You will make decisions faster and your actions will be more accurate. Realize that you don't find purpose, it finds you when you're ready for it. If you are idle, waiting, wasting your life on momentary pleasures, being selfish towards other people, even the most best expert will not help you in your search for a destination.

You probably have people around you who do not think about their purpose, they just do their job. They do it stubbornly, conscientiously and with enthusiasm. And from the outside it seems that they are just lucky that they are an exception to the rule. But if you ask, what is the secret of their success? They will answer you that they just started doing one thing, met difficulties along the way, analyzed them, corrected their actions and, in case of failure, switched to another activity. No, they did not deviate from the intended goal, they simply made the necessary changes based on the results obtained and moved on.

Awareness or discovery of your destiny is a kind of Gift to you for all the difficulties that you have already overcome, for the work on yourself that you have done. You don't find Destiny, but Destiny finds you when you are ready for it.

Or maybe I'll wait until my destiny finds me, because I know that ...

Myth number 4. Purpose is given to a person from birth.

If you believe this myth, then everything in life is predetermined and known in advance. And why is it asked to hurry somewhere, if at any moment I can begin to act in accordance with my destiny, and I will be guaranteed success, fame, money, happiness. But what if I told you that purpose can change over the course of your life. What if the word mission itself is wrong, the word calling is more suitable for the definition.

Throughout our lives, we change. Our level of awareness in actions, thoughts, deeds is changing. Our qualities, character, abilities, habits, beliefs and principles are changing. Sometimes this happens under the influence of life circumstances, but you can do it quite consciously and intentionally. Develop new qualities and abilities in yourself, those that will help you become best version myself. Work on your thoughts and beliefs, identify those that hinder your success, and replace them with those that move you forward in life. In fact, on high levels awareness, you can even change the values ​​that guide your actions.

Conclusion.

As you can see, Destiny has nothing to do with career guidance, and knowing it does not guarantee you success and happiness in life. You should not devote your whole life to finding your calling, because our life is filled with meaning by emotions, people and events and actions.

What makes you get up in the morning and start doing your tasks as soon as possible? What motivates you to overcome obstacles and? Why do you glow with happiness, and your eyes begin to shine? Many people can easily answer these and other similar questions and start a conversation about their goals, dreams, plans for life and what they want to achieve. But, at the same time, there are people who will think hard about the answer, but will not be able to say anything. The difference between these categories of people is that some are clearly aware of their purpose and have specific life goals, while others seem to strive for something, however, the meaning of their life and what they want to achieve look rather vague even for them themselves.

Here we are not talking about such “goals” as earning money to provide yourself and your loved ones with everything you need, covering mandatory monthly expenses, a new Appliances home etc. All of these are essential needs of almost every person; his so-called vital necessity; without which his life and everyday life will not satisfy even the most minimal requirements. Here we are talking about something more global; the fundamental direction of all actions performed in life; about what makes you grow, develop, work, work and achieve, regardless of any obstacles, and do it with pleasure, enthusiasm and inspiration. We are talking about specific life goals.

A little bit about the lack of a life goal

Desire to find your purpose life purpose is inherent, perhaps, to all people. But often, under the influence of various factors and circumstances, such as, for example, upbringing, the worldview of parents, the influence of the environment, imposed beliefs and ideals, propaganda certain style life, way of thinking and all that you need to have and want to have, lead to the fact that people simply lose themselves in all this. They seem to fall asleep, their whole life becomes unconscious and mechanical, and their thinking becomes stereotyped and standardized. As a result, all questions relating to the meaning of life lose their relevance, fade into the background, or are generally discarded as unnecessary.

If a person is still concerned about such topics, and he has not completely lost his individuality, selfhood and the feeling that you need to strive for something or at least look for it, the answers to the above questions are often difficult to find, which often noticeably overshadows the existence , creates a feeling of aimlessness of being, becomes the cause of apathetic or depressive states.

The lack of a life goal has an extremely negative effect on a person's life. This and the inability to fully reveal one's personal and creative potential, and the duality of thinking and behavior, and the loss of interest in activities and in life in general, and real happy moments can be counted on the fingers. This topic can be disassembled in parts endlessly, but this is not at all important, but what is needed, and most importantly, you can come to an understanding of your true purpose and defining specific life goals.

Why do you need to find your life purpose?

The question of finding a life goal, just like the previous one, is very voluminous and multifaceted. But, despite this, it is always considered exclusively in a positive way. When a person has a clear life goal, he lives with an understanding of what his time is invested in, that he is on the path to achieving what he wants, and this path is the right one. The goal fills his entire existence with meaning, which means that in life there is a place for harmony and happiness. Having a goal, a person specifically knows in which direction to move. Make any choice Everyday life it becomes easier, it becomes much easier to separate the important from the unimportant and discard the latter without regret. Always present, no need to force yourself to anything. And if efforts are made to correct one's behavior, then this is a training that allows one to become stronger, and certainly not violence against oneself, as happens when you do everything with clenched teeth.

A life goal is something that fills both the person himself and his life. This is what allows a person to walk through life with a firm and confident gait with his head held high even in the most difficult moments. And this is what allows him to come to the meaning of his existence and see even the most habitual life in perfect new perspective and also change it.

But reasoning is reasoning. They are, of course, good, but they can remain only a theory. And this, unfortunately, is the worst thing that can happen to a person who is looking for his destiny. To avoid this, you should use several recommendations that not only facilitate the transition from thoughts to actions, but also greatly simplify the search for your destiny and goals to which you can safely devote your life.

How to realize your purpose and find life goals?

Without further ado, let's jump right into these recommendations.

  • Start by analyzing your interests and hobbies. Approach this issue consciously and seriously. Determine what interests you the most: what kind of literature do you prefer to read? Are you interested in documentaries, and if so, what kind? What do you like to learn more and more about? It is likely that the answers to these questions will be able to set the right direction for future searches. If you feel that any special interests if you don't, you'll have to work hard to find them. Your life's work is 90% related to your interests.
  • Analyze your free time activities: what do you do, what do you like to do, what do you want to do when you think about your free time? What would you do if there was more time? Surely your leisure time, if it is, of course, not “stupid” or idle chatter in social networks, can be associated with your subconscious aspirations, talents, predispositions and goals. If you managed to find something like that, then think about whether there is an opportunity to somehow develop it and derive practical benefits from this lesson?
  • Try to observe yourself, namely: observe what you notice around you. For example, you may often pay attention to appearance other people or their health condition, or you can pinpoint the cause of the car breakdown. Perhaps you are keenly aware of flaws in construction or repairs made in someone else's house. But what if you, without having the appropriate education, easily find various errors in the texts and know how to correctly write and express your thoughts, although you have never learned this? After observing yourself, most likely you will find something in which you, without having deep knowledge, can be a specialist. What is your activity now? Develop this idea further.
  • Make a list of 50 wishes. Include everything that comes to mind. Seems simple? Surprisingly, many people after listings like: house, apartment, car, renovation, vacation, wedding, child, salary increase, new phone, new furniture, and something like that, become confused. As a result, it turns out to write 20-25 wishes on the strength. If you have the same situation, do not despair and write further - this will activate your creativity and the work of the subconscious. If you easily wrote 50 wishes, increase the list to 100. It is the last and most “difficult” wishes that will reflect your global goals and life aspirations to a greater extent.
  • Watch your states. In everyday life, a person from time to time is “covered” by waves of seemingly causeless inspiration and enthusiasm. Track these moments in your life and try to understand the reasons for their occurrence: some thoughts, actions, people. In many spiritual practices, inspiration is considered a sign that you are on the right way. Look for such signs constantly - they will be able to lead you to the right "road".
  • Practice meditation. is one of the most powerful spiritual practices. During meditation, the chaotic running of thoughts calms down, there is a feeling of calmness, well-being and inner silence, which is the best suited for communication with the subconscious. And, as you know, the subconscious knows and can do everything. During practice, ask yourself questions without trying to answer, using your rational mind. Answers can come even after meditation - it can be an insight, a thought or image that came from somewhere in your head, a sensation in your body, a meeting with some person, or a book that “accidentally” fell under your feet. Strive for self-knowledge.
  • your future. Choose a quiet and peaceful place where no one will disturb you for at least 30 minutes. Turn off phones, skype, ICQ, internet and so on. Sit down and take a comfortable position. Close your eyes, relax. Try not to be distracted by extraneous thoughts. And now start imagining your life in detail, for example, in 5 years: where are you, where do you live, what kind of people are next to you, what are you wearing, what surrounds you at this moment, what do you have? Strive to keep your thoughts flowing calmly. No need to impose something on yourself and think in patterns. Just surrender to the flow of your thoughts - where will it take you? The sharper and clearer the picture, the closer you will be to finding a way to achieve its materialization. Do this procedure at least once every two days and over time you will begin to understand what you want and what you really need.

What more can be said? In fact, I would very much like to continue to develop this topic and bring more and more new ways to find your purpose and life goals. One could write a whole book. But for obvious reasons, it is not possible to do this in this article. So it remains only to summarize: the process of finding a life purpose and your destiny is entirely up to you. To find answers to your questions, you must find yourself, and this is a difficult, lengthy process, but very interesting and exciting. As already mentioned, strive for self-knowledge, engage in spiritual practices, read and watch educational TV shows, be alone with yourself, listen to your inner voice, etc. You can combine all of these, or you can do them separately.

And always remember that our only real enemies are despair, laziness and unwillingness to see beyond our own noses. Believe in yourself and your strengths, and also that your life goals are already very close to you!
