Today’s article borders on how to discover your life purpose and the 10 benefits of living purposefully. What exactly is living purposefully? It’s more than simply having a purpose, a goal or a dream in life. It’s about living your life to the fullest, the way you choose to, and not just going through the motions.
It’s about enjoying your existence instead of simply jumping from experience to experience without any real sense of design. How can you live purposefully and what benefits can it bring to your everyday life? In this article, we’ll discuss the answers to these questions and how to discover your life purpose and ten benefits of living this way.
Your life’s purpose
I come across a bunch of people in my daily life asking me the same question – “how to discover your life purpose?” You might believe that you are predestined to live a certain way and that there is a plan for you, or instead be certain that you make your own destiny. Whatever the case, it’s important to discover what you are aiming for in life, and what you want to ultimately achieve. This will help you live your life to the fullest and truly enjoy the activities you choose to perform and the people you spend your time with.
You don’t need to discover your life purpose all at once, but it’s important that you try and move toward what makes you happy. If a situation makes you uncomfortable or miserable, then maybe you are not taking the right road and need to find a detour. When you live purposefully, you take control and responsibility for your every action and decision and get to be empowered by this realization.
10 benefits of living purposefully
1). It feels like you have a direction
Sometimes, it’s easy feeling like we are adrift in this world. After all, it can be chaotic, and we are not always in control of everything that happens around us. Living purposefully allows us to regain that control in our daily lives, and have a sense of calm and stability. It allows us to set a routine and break it when we feel like it. I give us guidelines we can stir free from when we want to try a new experience and step out of our comfort zone.
2). It helps you get rid of the negativity
If you already know what is up ahead and what you are striving to achieve, then you can look at the world around you with far more optimism. Since it’s you taking the reigns, you know you can turn any bad situation into a good one, with enough effort.
3). It provides greater discipline
Once you know what you want from your life and have a north set up for your journeys, then it’s easier to stay on track. Procrastinating is easy when you aren’t sure what’s up ahead, of what you are meant to be working towards. You will find how to get rid of procrastination in this post here. When you live purposefully, your every action counts, and you are striving to improve some aspect or achieve something you desire. This pushes you to try harder and stops yourself from slacking. It improves productivity and keeps you going!
4). It motivates you!
When you feel demotivated, it’s almost impossible to get excited about the day ahead. Living purposefully makes you feel excited and motivated. You are striving toward something you are passionate about and can use that excitement to keep you going. Doing something for the sake of responsibility is not the same as doing it because it’s something you love, or at least a way of getting what you desire. By establishing your purpose, then your every action is impulsed by your passion and excitement.
5). It allows you to help others
People around you can get inspired by your new outlook in life, and try living purposefully as well. You can also help them achieve this goal, especially those closest to you, like your friends and family. We surely do rise by lifting others and we even rise faster in the service to others.
6). It improves your personal and professional relationships
When you feel comfortable with yourself, as well as empowered and confident, this affects the way you deal with those around you. You’ll be in a better mood and more determined to try your harder, which people will inevitably notice. Confidence will allow you to improve your relationships in the workplace, and your happiness will inevitably be noticed by your friends and family.
7). It gives you a sense of empowerment
Knowing that it’s not other making the decisions for you, changes the way you view your life. You are the one setting the goals for yourself and considering which are the best ways to achieve your dreams. You are in control of your own life and your own decisions, and so this gives you both a feeling of empowerment and confidence. In turn, these can help you keep going when you face adversity or obstacles in the road ahead. Keep on moving with the determination that you are following your own rules and your own desires, no one else’s.

8). It gives your life meaning
A common question people ask themselves is: Why am I here? If you set goals for yourself and live purposefully, you already know the answer to that question. It gives your existence meaning, and you can actually fulfill the goals you’ve set for yourself, one step at a time. It provides the fuel you might need when you feel like you are running out of energy. It’s not always easy to keep going in the face of adversity, but knowing you are pursuing your life’s calling will help you carry on.
9). It energizes you
Knowing that you are living purposefully, that you are the one making your own decisions, fills you with the energy you might have lacked before. It’s not the same to wake up in the morning feeling exhausted and annoyed by the day ahead of you than to step out of bed knowing that you have a purpose you need to follow. A dream on the horizon that you are working hard to achieve. It energizes your mind, your heart, and your body, and gives you the boost you need to keep a positive outlook on life.
10). It brings you happiness
If you are living purposefully and making your own decisions, then you naturally will search for what makes you happy. Your decisions, in the long run, will lead to contentment and peace of mind. It’s also a relief knowing where you are headed and what you want out of life.
