With the increasingly rapid pace of life, it becomes a common thing for individuals to start to get lost. It is a noble question that does not exclude the young or the old or those in middle age, those with formal education or none, business people, lawyers, doctors, engineers, writers, poets, artists, teachers and students of any level. There is a scientific evidence that knowing and finding one’s purpose is good and can enhance the quality of the life. But how does one set off on this process of discovery? Down below I’ve outlined some steps to help you along the process.

1. Reflect on Your Passions

Hobbies are generally the first markers by which one can determined whether they are living for something or living for something. Which kinds of activities do you actually get absorbed in? What are the areas of interest that seem to fascinate you most of the time? Considering these kinds of interests can help to find clues concerning what might be most enriching for you. List down some activity, cause, or fields that interest you. This exercise may serve the purpose of refining some of the sectors or fields that may contain your purpose in life.

**2. Identify Your Assets as a Professional

These steps allow better understanding of your strengths and talents and, therefore, of where you can be expected to make the most of yourself. What is your area of strength or what do you enjoy doing most probably because you are gifted at it? What is it that others go running to, seeking assistance or to gain knowledge about? One can ask friends, family and even other co-workers to advise him or her on the same to get more perception on his or her strengths. The relevance of how one finds purpose in what he is capable of doing is a good direction towards engaging in more productive and fulfilling endeavors in life.

3. Explore and Experiment

Deconstructing symbols of Purpose may not be always linear. It frequently poses for an enterprise of odyssey, of voyaging through various paths and trying out various experiences. It is recommended to renew activities, such as volunteering, developing hobbies, or getting a course in the sphere of desire. Apart from widening your experience, they also enable you to get to know yourself a little better as well.

4. Consider Your Values

It is very important to carefully develop your purpose as values are the foundation to it. Which of the principles above is dear to you most? What issues do you want to change the world with? Purposely matching with your values guarantees that aim is correct and personal. Think about the ways your values might cross over with possible careers, and how you might incorporate them in your day-to-day.

5. Set Meaningful Goals

After you have some ideas about your purpose, SMART goals are set. They could be of this nature; These are the type of goals that should be achievable and ideally reflect on your vision as provided for under purpose. Goals specify who is to do what and by when, and gives people what they need to know to do their job. While working on your goals it is very important to subdivide those goals into shorter achievable targets in order to avoid demotivation.

6. Seek Guidance and Support

It is sometimes difficult to identify the roles one should play in his daily life, and that is where getting help is very important. Talk to those people who can share their experience, inspire and hold you responsible. Thus, outside insight could give you a new angle or reveal prospective or trends that were not discernible from the inside.

7. Embrace the Journey

Let it be noted that the search for meaning is not an event that can be arrived at in a day, week, or month. Be kind to yourself and receptive to the emergent definitions of what makes one’s life worth living. It is the aim that may evolve as you progress, so it may be different from what you once had in mind. This process needs to be adequately accepted, and thus one should be flexible as one goes through this process.
