4 ways to understand your Purpose of Life.

“The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience.”― Eleanor Roosevelt
 
“The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.”
― Ralph Waldo Emerson

You can’t be successful, if you don’t know why you are here. Failing to find the purpose of life can be frustrating. You can be successful in terms of money or other luxuries. But still you will feel empty. This is because of the lack of understanding of your purpose in life.

Even success varies from person to person. For some having a million dollars might be success, and for others taking caring for the family in the best way might be success. So this makes the purpose of everyone unique.

1)      Death Ceremony

The best way to understand the purpose of life is to envision death. Imagining about people who will attend your funeral and what they ought to say is actually what you really want in life.  What do you want your spouse or children to say about you? Teachers?

Colleagues? Friends?

So, thinking about the death ceremony can actually give a blueprint for a wholly life.

2)      Make a List

Yes, just make a wild list of whatever you want to do. From jumping off a cliff, to surfing just make a list, and go do it. Sometimes doing such wild things will give life meaning.

3)      Helping People

Helping others get what they want can help you get what you want. The greatest purpose of life is serving others. No matter what field you are in, help other people, that is the greatest thing you can do.

4)      To live, To learn, To Love, To Leave a Legacy

This can be your motto in life. Stephen Covey 8th habit explains how to live, love, learn and to leave a legacy. However, this can very well be the purpose of every individual. So keep living, learning, loving and leave a legacy.
