Do you know why so few people find their purpose?
Because they spend all of their time looking for this extra special, meaningful ‘thing’, which they think exists because someone somewhere said that’s how purpose looks.
Sadly, that’s bullsh*t.
And it doesn’t matter how much you spend on courses, guru’s, memorising the mantras of best selling authors, or standing on your head, it will still be bullsh*t.
Because we are all, our purpose.
Just because it may not match the bullsh*t criteria that came from nowhere, was owned by no one, and meant nothing, does not mean it is not a purpose.
The fact that you get up every day, as yourself is, of course, your beautifully simple purpose.
You want to make it extra special, meaningful, and profound?
Then do more of it.
Be yourself. Put your energy, your thoughts, your gifts, your time into this world, unapologetically, wholeheartedly, and completely imperfectly.
Embrace your messiness, get real about what, and who you give your f*cks to and live every single day as though it were your last.
Then you will truly be living your purpose.
And that’s where the magic is.
Not in an elite set of standards only achieved by a few.
But in the ordinary simplicity of living your life, to the full, with love, as you.
With love

The purpose of life is not an abstract phrase, far from it! Knowing your personal mission allows you to understand which direction to take in many practical situations, related to everyday life. The more we know what the plane of our consciousness is (of our soul) and we take it into account, the more we will have the opportunity to make choices in line with what represents us, gratifies us and makes us feel good.
Knowing your life purpose is very useful in finding your way to finding a job, for example. In particular, it can really make a difference at the beginning of your career, when you need to understand what you want to “grow up”. Full awareness of what makes you truly happy is part of our purpose in life.
The purpose of life can also help a lot to improve one’s professional image. In fact, it is a very useful tool to identify a way of proposing and promoting yourself in harmony with the key concepts of the mission that we have set ourselves in this world.
Following one’s goal also means having greater well-being. When we align, choose and act from our life purpose, we have more strength and energy to give space and importance to what really matters to us, that is, to what we believe to be most authentic, sustainable and shareable. And this definitely leads to feeling good.
Now, we often think that there are so many possibilities in life, that our purpose, since we haven’t found it yet, must necessarily be something we haven’t thought about yet. Something so far from our present life that the idea of having to find it demotivates us. Instead, more simply, there are passions, interests or topics that have been part of our life since we were children (we can define them the constants of our life). They can be a hobby, a topic of study, a sport; they are those passions for which we always find time and which we would do as our work for free. As surprising as it may seem, in reality the pieces of the puzzle are already all on the table of our lives, we just need to have the patience to reconstruct the overall design. These pieces of the puzzle are our passions, the constants of our life. The more we manage to combine these passions in a single design, the more we will get closer to defining the purpose of our life.
Having said that, nothing excludes that life offers us other opportunities to be transformed into a new purpose and that, therefore, what is really useful, is precisely the real purpose of life, after all, is to live it, to taste with intensity every event, to appreciate with enthusiasm and without fear the new experiences that can guide us to an equally happy and fulfilling existence.
