Life is better when we have purpose.

Recently, I encountered a career related question from a teenage girl. She was bit confused about choosing the course stream in life that may help her succeed in the career. That particular question reminded me of my childhood days, where like any other child, I was too confused in choosing a right option. I remember I wanted to be in army, then as I grows up, my focus shifted to other area, and then further in life moved to a all new direction. Choosing a purpose in life is pretty difficult in the initial stage. But it is important to have a defined purpose that may help us lead a meaningful life.

There are instances where, many people are clueless about their purpose. A life without purpose can feel like a lack of meaning, and can lead to feelings of emptiness, boredom, dissatisfaction, and hopelessness. It can also cause people to feel isolated from their loved ones and unable to enjoy things they used to. A purpose in life can be important for many reasons :

• Having a purpose gives us a sense of meaning and direction, and helps us know what you want to achieve. It helps in defining a proper direction.

• Research shows that people with a sense of purpose are generally happier, more resilient, and more successful. They know what they wanted to achieve in life.

• A purpose in life can help us find our passion and dream job, and commit to them. Once we are commuted we get success at any cost.

• People with a purpose tend to feel grateful and express thankfulness. They remain motivated and happy.

• Following our own moral code can give us peace of mind and help us live a happier life.

• People can tell when we are living our purpose, and may be inspired to help us.

• People with a purpose may have better health and longevity. For example, older adults with a sense of purpose may experience less cognitive and memory impairment, and a lower risk of Alzheimer's disease.

The purpose of life can vary from person to person and can change over time. It can be a set of central goals that motivate us, and can guide our decisions, shape our goals, and give us a sense of direction. Some people believe that the purpose of life is to find joy, contentment, and satisfaction in their pursuits and relationships. Some possible purposes of life include:

• Finding joy, contentment, and satisfaction in our relationships and pursuits.

• Making the world a better place. Doing good and making a positive impact

• Learning, adapting, and growing throughout your life

• Finding a vocation that is satisfying and meaningful

• Fulfilling our responsibilities to your loved ones

• Finding meaning through religious beliefs or spirituality

Some questions we can ask ourself to reflect on our purpose in life include. Who am I, Where do I belong, and When do I feel fulfilled. In my opinion, purpose in life is all about a human construct. Purpose is related to will and intention, which are human characteristics. Humanists believe that humans have the ability to create purpose and meaning. The purpose of life is subjective and can vary based on individual beliefs, values, and experiences. Some people find meaning in relationships, career success, personal growth, or spirituality. Others may see life as simply an experience to be enjoyed.
