Living a purpose-filled life in today’s day and age may seem impossible, especially when there is so much division, violence, doom and gloom, and hatred in our chaotic world. With all of this noise, we may feel overwhelmed and stressed out beyond our breaking points. It may feel like our lives are impossible to bear. One of the key reasons people become cynical and/or hopeless is because they stress out over things or problems that are beyond their control. The only thing that you can have complete control over is yourself. What you do with your time and how you associate with others, will ultimately determine how you will navigate your life. Focusing on activities that will help you grow and improve as a human being will leave a tremendous impact on your personal life. You will learn how to develop your purpose.

There are so many videos on social media that try to motivate you to find your purpose. It doesn’t matter how “feel good” or “motivating” these videos are. Generally speaking, motivation is short-lived. A good example is making New Year’s resolutions. You may start on a clean slate at the start of the new year. You may desire to lose weight, or reduce time on useless activities, etc. The problem is that these so-called resolutions usually die out after several weeks. And you are back to where you were before, feeling unfulfilled. Finding your purpose isn’t motivated by others, it ultimately needs to be you. You call the shots as to how you live your life, nobody else. And that can be empowering if you have that desire.
