Ready to Discover Your Life Purpose?

If you’re fortunate, you’ve already discovered many of your passions and get to spend much of your time enjoying things that bring you excitement and joy. You’re living the dream with a career you adore, the perfect family/relationship, and time to enjoy your favorite hobbies and pastimes.

On the other hand, maybe you’ve not yet connected with activities, skills, and interests that ignite your passion.

It takes time, soul-searching, and some life experience to identify your true passions. These prompts are written to tap into your wants, needs, desires, and even your fantasies. Have fun with them and discover what you can add to your life that will fill it with delight.

1. What’s the one thing I’ve always wanted to do? Let your imagination and your wildest fantasies soar here. Next, consider what would need to happen in order for you to carry through with this long-sought wish. Make a plan and get started!

2. If I could spend today doing whatever I desire, what would it be? Let your mind go. It could be something related to your work, your home, or simply a bluebird. There are no limits! Now put it on the calendar and when the day comes, dive in!

3. Where do I really want to live? What city and what type of residence? Perhaps you’re already fulfilling this passion and you do live in your true first choice. If not, ponder the possibilities of moving to a place you’ll love. Is it tropical and exotic, or is it a lush, quiet countryside?

4. Where would I like to visit? Perhaps you’re harboring a secret yearning to visit Washington, D.C. or Westminster Abbey in London. The streets of Hong Kong may be calling your name or even the Grand Canyon. Can you make it happen? Sure you can! Traveling fits into any budget. You just have to consider the number of days you’ll stay. Most people think in weeks when planning trips. Think days! You can do just as much in three days as you can in seven.

5. What do I talk about doing but never do it? In a conversation, you might state something like, “For the last 10 years, I’ve really wanted to take a cruise to the Caribbean.” If I asked your friends to tell me something you always say, what would it be? It’s time to write that book, learn that language or take that class. Do it now and cross it off the list!

6. What are the reasons I don’t go after my dreams? Explore within yourself why you haven’t pursued the life you want. Really spend some time here and reflect on what’s holding you back. Can you do something differently to help bring your dreams to life?

7. How will I finish the sentence, “More than anything, before I die, I want to _________________________________________?” Say it out loud and fill in the blank. Then, figure out a way to accomplish your wish.

8. What are the things in my life that I would like to get rid of? If you’re discovering you don’t love everything about your life (things, people, weight, etc.), maybe it’s time to do some “housecleaning.” Make a list of the ways you’d like your life to change.

9. Which people in my life inspire me and why? It’s important to know who inspires you so you can spend more time with them. What is it about them that lights you up so much? Decide to take every step to be inspired more often.

10. If I were to make just one radical change in my life right now to make life better, what would it be? Your answer to this question will really open up your possibilities. Moving to a bigger city might really spice up your life. Getting more education might be a goal—plus you’ll likely make more money.

11. How do I feel when I put all my effort into accomplishing one of my goals? Notice these feelings. You’ll no doubt want to experience them more often.

12. How do I feel whenever I achieve a life goal? Awesome, probably. Do it more often.

13. What’s missing from my life? Answering this question requires considerable soul-searching.

14. Who are my biggest supporters? It’s wise to know the people that will stand behind you and help you pursue your passions, no matter what. Nurture those relationships and hold on tight.

15. Who gets in the way of me achieving my goals? In order to find your true passions, you might be required to disengage from those who wish to counteract your efforts. This can be tough but it is necessary.

You’ll be happier if you chase your dreams. Make 1 change.

If you take the time to thoroughly ponder each of these questions, you just might be pleased with what you discover. Your true passions are inside you, just waiting to be let loose to bring you excitement, joy, and fulfillment.
