" FINDING YOUR PURPOSE "

 Remember: purpose is a decision. No one is born with a purpose. It's something we decide.

Here's a question for you: What are you?

I'm not talking about your job title. What's your life about? Answer that, and you will have your purpose. But most of us don't have the answer to that simple question. We tend to overcomplicate things. But it's actually very simple.

Will Smith put it best when he was asked about this subject in an interview: "Just decide what it's going to be, who you're going to be, how you're going to do it."

Decide. Go out. Do it. And don't look back.

If you lack inspiration, and can't answer that question, you need more input. You can't expect to get output (purpose) without input.

You don't know your purpose because you're not aware of it. That's all. Don't make things more complicated than they are. And don't try to force it to come out of you.

Here are two ways to stimulate input:

1. Expose yourself to different things. Read about stuff you've never considered. Travel. Hang out with different people. The more you broaden your mind, the more information you get. New ideas are a blend of existing different ideas that you're exposed to.

2. Manage stress and anxiety. Chronic stress and anxiety prevent your mind from thinking in a clear, focused, and a relaxed way. Those are key ingredients of getting new insights. So before you think about finding your passion, deal with stress and anxiety first if you're having a lot of it.

Instead of consciously thinking about your purpose, you can try an indirect approach. Just realize that your purpose is inside of you, it's just afraid to expose itself.

You must trust that someday it will seemingly appear out of nowhere. When that day comes, do a happy dance, celebrate, whatever, but the next day, wake up and start working on your purpose.
