For one to fulfil purpose in life, such purpose must first be discovered.
Discovering of purpose is the biggest task we all need to overcome before we can fulfill our purpose or purposes
Life does not have any meaning, if we don't have purpose we are pursuing.
Your goals and visions are all set round your purpose in life, can we just conclude by saying one is just like a matter that occupy space without a purpose?
A lot of people have come and gone without discovering their purpose or purposes. So, the world does not have the record of their existence, we only remember and celebrate those with a purposeful lives.
To discover your purpose, you must first accept the fact that you are created for a purpose, that believe alone should now push you to answer the following questions, answering them in truth would go a long way in helping you to discover your purpose in life.
Here are the questions...
- Who?
If you were asked to define yourself, who do you think you are? Who are you?
Your real you is in you, don't answer this question based on your physical appearance, you might appear happy while the real you that is in you is sad. You might be doing something to be pleasing people while the real you that is in you is regretting your actions.
The man that face the outcome of every of your actions is you. Who do you think that man is? If you can discover him and do what he loves doing, that is the best thing you will ever do for yourself. So who are you?
What?
After discovering the you that is in you, the next question is what should you do about him. Well, this question can be so simple if you answer the first question correctly. What you need to do after discovering the you that is in you is to start doing what the you that is you want to do.
Let me explain this better, their are a lot of things you do against your wish, you end up regretting most of those things because the you that is in you don't actually want to do them. Now, after discovering the real you, ensure you listen to him to know what he want to do before you take your next time.
This would give you comfort more than you can ever imagineWhy?
Why do you need to do what you want to do should not be too difficult for us to answer. But, do you know we end up doing things that we don't know why we are doing them on most cases.
For instance, I've seen somebody regretting breaking the electronics when he was angry and after the anger was gone, he was asking himself why he has to do it. This is just an example, their are a lot of things we do that we don't know why we do them, we just do them,right?
But, immediately you discover who you are and what you want to do, why you are doing them won't be a problem again. Because, you will only be doing those things you want to do, not those you are compel to do either by situations or circumstances
- When?
We do the wrong things at right time and the right things on the wrong time at vise vasa on so many occasions. We might do the right thing and still blame ourselves for it, if it is done at a wrong time, the same way we can blame ourselves for doing the wrong things at a right time.
Discovering who that is in you, can help you to know when to do certain things in life. It is not enough to do the right things, it must be done at the right time. When to talk, when to keep quite, when to sleep, when to go out, when to do everything in our lives can be discovered if we can discover our WHO, WHAT and WHY
- Where?
It is not possible to be everywhere at a time when you are not omnipresent, been where you should be has a lot to do about you. If you are to be at angle A and you are at angle B, even while others are making it and enjoying themselves at angle B, the only person that would not enjoy it is you.
Their is no way you can be comfortable been at a wrong location.
Probably the you that is in you want to be an artist likeor a photographer like
or an humanitarian like
,but the parental pressure and other pressure want you to be a doctor. Do you know that as beautiful as that profession is, you will still not be comfortable with it?
Until you discover who you are, discovering where you should be would be too difficult to do.
Some people supposed to be in school, but situations has kept them in one corner learning skills, while some others are supposed to be learning skills but situations kept them in school too.
Try not to get it twisted, if you can discover who you are, you can also discover where you should be
- How?
This is the last but also important question we must all answer in discovering ourselves. If you get right other five questions about you and you fail this last one, you will still find it difficult to be your real you.
After discovering, who, what, why, when and where about you, the next thing is to discover how you must be you.
How can you be you?
See, don't allow the intimidation of people to prevent you from becoming who you think you are.
Whether you are good, bad or terrible, not all would like you and not all would hate you.
It takes great determination to live how you want to live, others might see you different, they might see pride, but all you have to see is to see yourself as you are.
No matter how good or kind you are, you cannot please everyone.
If you want to keep everybody happy, the only person that would not be happy is you
Go ahead and start leaving how you want to live, don't allow situations to force you to live other way round.
You have been in that prison long enough, free yourself by starting to live how the you that is in you want to live.
Don't think it's too late, you can start now. Don't go any deeper in living wrongly.
If you can discover yourself through those six questions, do you know that you have discovered your purpose as well?
Feel free to share your mind with me.
