How to Know Your Purpose in Life

Are you wandering through life with little direction, hoping that you'll find happiness, health and prosperity? Do you just function from day to day without knowing what it is that could make your life better? If so this lesson will help you to discover what you should be doing.

Let us start with the basic premise that you desire a better life, for you and those around you. You do want a better life don't you? So what is it that will make your life better starting right now?

The first thing you will do today is sit down with paper and pen, and think. Grab a spiral notebook or even a loose leaf notebook with lots of paper and hold it on your lap. Start to let your mind wander. You will daydream your desires. Imagine what your life will be when it is good. Think about what could happen that will make you happy. Feel free to day dream about any thing you want. Do not watch TV; do not have any distractions like cell phones, pagers, radios, or annoying relatives. Go sit in your favorite chair, or park bench and let your mind wander.

As you imagine what your life should be like, find a few details. When you feel a happy moment; identify what caused it. When you see in your mind you being happy; quickly look at why you are happy.

Now the tricky part: Write it down! When you saw yourself feeling joy where you dancing in a field of flowers or were you in a nice cozy office chair with a big window in your office? Write it down! When you imagined yourself doing the job you love; write it down! Whatever you imagined, whatever you day dreamed, whatever you thought of that made you feel good: Write it down.

Once you get started you will find this little self discovery journey to be exhilarating and fun. You will write as fast as you can, soon you will find that you have written a lot of pages, and want to write more. So do it; write as much as you can, it doesn't have to be pretty or organized just written. Nobody but you will see this work so feel free to do it your way.
