How does one find their purpose?
539124
Your purpose is closely connected with your giftings.take time to discover who you are first...what things do you do effortlessly and everybody keeps complementing you about.e.g do you make people laugh? are you good with numbers? do you work well with your hands? do you love gadgets etc.  your passions/gifting determine the area that you are supposed to operate(purpose).\nlet me break this down..God created a woman with a womb,mammary glands(boobs),tender heart etc so that they can concieve,narture,care and shape the next generation.\nif you have humor,talkative,a lot of energy and always happy...then you are probably an encourager,entertainer etc.\ntry and discover the things that you have never liked also.these will tell who you are not.\nWhat better way to discover your purpose by asking the person who made/created you...GOD himself.he knows every detail about you..Adam was created and equiped to function in eden.you have an "eden" waiting for you and what a beutiful thing it is when you discover it.\ni know that when you discover your purpose,everything else doesnt matter.your payslip/paycheck wont matter because you derive satisfaction from your purpose.\ni think john travolta gets more satisfaction flying his own jumbo jet than acting....

heyy!...i dunno how u thot up of this enitre assumption....but i admit that there is substance and conviction in what you say. everyone does have a purpose, greater than others that he/she is biding by. once you realize yours i guess it is your sole duty to carry it out, however many-a-times just finding out ur "JOB" as you expressed does'nt have to be of supreme importance. i personally believe that the journey to realization and self-actualisation is more significant and of much much greater consequence.

Are you a complete person? by this i mean, are you doing what you really want to do, are you happy, generous, etc.? if not, focus on finding yourself first, and the women will happen. This can be helped by participating in various activities, which may also help your find yourself, such a volunteering to help others, to raise funds for charitable causes you believe in, etc.. Once you are truly secure, confident, and believe in yourself, they will find you and greet you, and/or you will know which ones to approach and will do fine. If you have no idea how to do these things, get counseling and/or do some reading on self-help. Those who are desperate will find nothing; those who give will be happy. Happy people will attract others, its just the way it works.

well i agree with some of the answers - decide what motivates you. i am not talking about what you would like to do but think about what puts a smile on ur face or what would be your  dream job... then draw out a plan how u can go about doing it. \n\ni will give you my example. i struggled through university in a degree i didnt like for a profession that everyone respects but i couldnt give a toss about. so anyhow - i decided what really motivated me was money but a whole lot of corporateness - u know doing deals and stuff. so i looked at what jobs would fit that... and then decided to try the one that i thought was most exciting.\n\nu know what would 'motivate' you. go out there and find the job/career/industry that would give you those things.

You need to find something that lights you up inside, that gives you a reason to live. Whether it be a person or thing, you need to find it and use it as your support.

Live Life, Love, and be Happy.  I found my success and happiness through Jesus.  Maybe you will too.  My lifes direction is answered in prayer.  When I feel confused or uncertain I ask the Lord for guidance, there is always an answer, though sometimes it may not be easy, there is always a way to acheive my goals. \nBefore I asked Jesus into my heart my life was a MESS; I was broke, miserable, and lonely.  Now I own my own business, met (and married) the love of my life, and now get to do something I once only "dreamed of" doing,..to travel extensively.

The answer will be a little different for each person but it all boils down to finding your purpose, performing it to the best of your ability, being kind and understanding of others, and trying to help the world be a better place. That's it in a nutshell.

Do you know what part of yourself is true and what part of yourself is false?\n\nYOU ARE THE ONE THAT YOU'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR!  If you know what part of yourself is true and which part is a lie, you will know other people too.  The problem here is that we don't know ourselves very well so how can we know others?\n\nMy answer is to look within and quit looking for someone else to give your life direction...they are all wrong for you.  They are only right to themselves and you are only right for yourself.  \n\nI think we should all quit trying to give our life over to other people...it is called YOUR LIFE for a reason.  You are on a journey to find that reason and no one knows your purpose but YOU and yet may people will claim to 'know' because they want that opportunity to control you. \n\n I say, don't let them.  Keep your own heart with all diligence and let all prophets go make their profits somewhere else.  Lets put prophets  out of business!  I think they are all false and have a personal agenda in manipulating you.

Pay attention to everything.  Doors open all the time, yet we tend to get so ingrained in the day to day existence that we miss the signs.\n\nEverytime someone asks you to do something reasonable say yes.  Focus on what you do well and what you are able to contribute.\n\nRememher that there are people who wish you well, yet they may never talk to you directly.

To quote Frank Zappa: "you are what you is".\nOr Firesign Theater: "Who am us, anyway?"\nAre you looking for your own personal identity?\nDo you find yourself living in a sea of indecision?\nPerhaps you ask these questions because life is confusing and you seek solace in something concrete.\nStart with your spiritual side and look within.\nNext, question your values.\nFinally, connect with your neighbors and help those around you.\nPerhaps there, in the acts of loving-kindness, will you find the answers you seek.
