Higher Awareness Sharing

One of the biggest accomplishments a person can ever have in his life is if he is able to find his life purpose and live his life fulfilling that purpose. It’s a special kind of happiness if you can wake up every day knowing that you are on your own path and that you are living the life solely intended and designed for you.

Wouldn’t you want to be able to live that life?

Contrary to popular belief, you don’t actually have to go on a long sabbatical or retreat in order to reveal your life purpose. Sometimes all you need is some quiet time for yourself and start asking yourself the right questions. You have the answer within you, you just need to be able to consciously let it out.

If you want to start revealing your life purpose, we’ve found these sample questions from LifeHack that can help you bring out the answers.

1. Am I doing what I love?
Asking this question should pertain to your life as a whole. Do I love my family, friends, and work? Am I doing things outside of my job that I love like drawing, writing, or any creative art? If you are not doing what you love, look at why you haven’t been doing them and start incorporating them into your life.

2. Am I surrounded by people that I care about?
It’s important when looking for purpose in your life, you look at the people around you. Your friends, family, co-workers should all be people who support you in your quest to find real purpose. Not having those types of people around you could harm your progress in finding meaning. When I pursued writing, my friends and family played an important role in encouraging me to do it. Even if I didn’t think an article I wrote was good, they still knew it made me happy to write and that type of positive reinforcement does wonders.

3. Am I Happy With Where I Am?
Look at every aspect of your life. Ask if you are happy with what you have done. Are you going in the direction you want for your life. If not, what can you do to get there? It is hard not to compare our lives to our friends to measure success but try hard not to get caught up in what others have. The true measurement of happiness is are we doing what we want and being happy with the journey that lies ahead.

4. Is there more I can do?
You already know there is always more you can do. The real question lies in what can you do more of. Think of what you would want to contribute to society and what impact you want to have. There are tons of issues in our society that need people looking to make an impact. Think of what are some social issues that trigger you emotionally. Start there and find ways to get involved with organizations who focus on those social issues.

5. Do I feel satisfied?
Most of us attribute satisfaction with work or material possessions. If we don’t like our job, we are not satisfied. If we don’t have the things like a big house, nice cars, or wealth, we are quick to call ourselves failures. What we need to do is take a real look at what we define as success for our own lives rather than what others call it.

Here at Higher Awareness, we developed a quick and FREE Find Out Your Life Purpose Test which you can do any time of the day and can give you answers within 5 minutes. If you want to try it out, you can check it out here.

“Knowing others is intelligence;
knowing yourself is true wisdom.
Mastering others is strength;
Mastering yourself is true power.”
– Lao Tzu

When someone tells you he or she is feeling lost in their lives and you ask them what led them to feel that way – they would usually tell you that they don’t exactly know. This is one of the tell-tale signs of someone who hasn’t really figured out themselves – not sure who they really are and what their life purpose is. These are people who have just been going through their lives as mere bystanders and have not been the captain of their own ship. When you allow external factors to take control of your life, it can be comfortable at first but sooner or later you lose a sense of meaning and who you truly are.

It may be very cliché for someone to say that you need to find yourself first before you can work on your life – but in reality it’s one of life’s greatest truths. You need to know yourself better and be in touch with your life purpose if you truly want to live a meaningful life.

Here are 5 reasons of how you can benefit once you know your life purpose.

• Self-acceptance becomes possible – People who say they hate their life or want to live another person’s life do not yet truly understood their own path and purpose in this world. People who are engulfed with jealousy are depriving themselves of the wonderful possibilities if they lived their OWN purpose. Once you get in touch with your inner self and learn more about yourself, only then can true self-acceptance become a reality. And once you accept who you are, you will also begin to feel good in your own skin and find yourself not needing to compare your life with others.

• You build self-confidence – When you have a clear picture of who you truly are and your purpose in life, you ultimately gain confidence with how you deal with your life. It’s just like getting lost in a forest – if you have a map your confidence that you can get back to safety greatly increases. However if you don’t have any point of reference or any knowledge of the place – you are more likely to panic and second guess every turn you make because you have no idea where you are actually headed.

• People are comfortable around you – Because you know who you are and your purpose, people can actually begin to sense that vibe of self-assurance and will actually be drawn to you. If you know of someone who is not in a good place at the moment and unsure of what exactly he/she is doing with his/her life, they tend to be very self-destructive. On top of that – they are likely to drag people into their misery. The more you are sure of yourself, the more people are comfortable to be around you.

• Better choices in relationships – People who are unsure of themselves and are generally unaware of the path that they want to be on, will find themselves forming relationships with the first person or group that gives them attention. Their clouded judgment can lead to forging relationships with the wrong types of people. So instead of taking you out of darkness, you end up digging a deeper hole for yourself. On the other hand, those who are sure of their path and purpose know exactly what type of people they should invest their time and feelings in.

• Know what career path to follow – A lot of unhappiness exists from not being in the career that people want to be in. If you don’t want to end up as part of the statistics, you need to understand yourself first – understand your strength, weaknesses, where you are happy, where you are sad, and ultimately your life’s purpose. If you give proper importance to this, you won’t ever end up in a job that pays the bills but kills you day by day.

The reasons are endless why you should start investing time and effort in knowing yourself and your life purpose – the reasons above are just scratching the surface.
