How To Find Your Purpose | Project Hope

The most important goal of someone's life is to find the purpose of his life in this world. Those people who found their purpose, their business, life and path to which the soul lies will always be successful. But the thing is how can someone find his purpose in this world. For this, I am going to share with you some tips that are taken from Leo Babauta, the author of Zen Habits, which will help you discover your purpose and passion of life.

Each person in this world has certain ability, talent, and skills. You might be have talent of salesman, a strong leader, landscape designer, or a real idea generator. If you are not clear about your skills and talent, then you must remember what were the abilities that distinguish you from others in school. Maybe you are good at writing or reading, performing in front of big audience, teaching, making friends, drawing, or may be you are good at organizing people. You need to do research on yourself to know at what thing you are good at and your talent.

While doing work, there will be some process that gives you pleasure. You might not enjoy work, but rather a hobby or side work or an activity you love to do for free. Take your time 30 minutes 1 hour or more to this question and think and add it to your list.

What books you read the most, like what book type you like the most? What magazine you look to read and follow? What websites or blogs you read information from regularly? You need to analyze all of these things and after finding answers write them down in your list.

Think about your dreams what you imagine yourself in your dream like an artist, a designer, a photographer, a doctor, an engineer, or an architect. But the fears of failure and society makes you throw your dreams aside. List down those dreams and desires in your list.

Now after writing all above things in your list, choose one from the list that inspires you the most. This one is your first research point. Read and study information about it. Now make a list of skills and knowledge you need to master in to achieve your goal. After that learn the process.

Try your hand in chosen skill or business. And if you are doing it already try to move to advance level. If you are about to start it, do it privately at home and then do it in public level. Observe the difference in private and public and also what you learn and practice.

Choose no more than 4-5 items from the list you make for testing. Then test one by one as it should not take you longer than a month. At the end of testing process, you will understand which thing inspires you the most and what you love to do for many years.

The biggest obstacle in everyone's life is doubts and fears which never let them succeed. You need to see your fears, understood them, and eliminate them as soon as possible. To eliminate them, first accept them instead of running from your fears or ignoring them. Then find cause of them and learn to live with them. Now think what will be the worst thing that can happen and then understand there is no fear that can't be eliminate. Now get rid of these fears and doubts.
