Let's be honest. Living your life with purpose isn't a choice, it is a decision you make. And once you make that decision, the purpose can have a profound effect on your life. Why. Read further ;).
1. Purpose will give your life a meaning, yes.
When you decide on your life’s purpose, it gives what you do a lot of meaning. Every step along the way and all the work you do towards reaching your goals serves to bring you one step closer. Beside, it becomes much easier to get things done when they are done with purpose and with a firm goal in mind. Don't you agree?
2. With purpose you will create your own value system
Living with purpose will help you define and set a system of core values that will guide you throughout your life. You don’t have to waste time and energy each day trying to figure out if what you’re doing is right or worth doing. As long as it aligns with your purpose, you know you’re on the right track. That will eventually give you a lot of confidence in what you are doing. Trust me!
3. Knowing your purpose will enrich you with more self-worth
When you are living with purpose and working towards a worthwhile goal, you take a lot of pride in what you do. Right? With each passing day and each small step that you reach towards that goal, your sense of self-worth will also increase. Remember, use that feeling to propel you through the next day and the next challenges ahead.
4. Purpose will lead you to happiness
Living a life with purpose, that’s meaningful and gives you a sense of self-worth and confidence leads to happiness. And to me, the true secret to a happy life is being completely fulfilled by the life you’re living. We all are social creatures who need to make a difference and have a purpose, a place in society. We may think that material things bring us happiness, but what truly matters is how meaningful, helpful, and purposeful what we do is. Less is more ;).
5. Mental and physical health go hand in hand
Last but not least, living with purpose is good for your overall health. Being needed, being helpful, and adding value to the lives of others has a measurable effect on both your physical and mental health. In fact, one of the best ways to fight stress, anxiety, depression is to find meaning and purpose in what you do each and every day. Remember this and keep it close each time you feel down.
Now, it's all up to you. You create your own life. So, make wise decisions and never let yourself down. You've got that purpose too.
Until next time, S.
