If you've ever said, "i don't know what to do with my life", then this video is for you!

We live in a time when we are becoming more and more isolated in our own little worlds and many of us are feeling a lack of connection and meaning in our lives. When we feel a lack of meaning, we may begin to feel alone and feel like something is missing from our lives. Like there should be something more to life.. that missing thing is your PURPOSE!

Key point about purpose - it isn't about achieving money, fame, and stuff... it's not about materialism. Purpose is about self-actualization, community, and being a part of something bigger than yourself.

To get clear on what your purpose is, you need to start asking yourself some questions:

1- What makes you completely lose track of time? What makes you forget to eat?

2 – When you're in the zone doing something you love, you will be so lost in it, you will forget everything else. That's when you know you're in the state of flow.

3 – What makes your heart race? What energizes you? What inspires you?

Your answers to these should shed some light on what you're passionate about and what you have enthusiasm for.

4 – What are your values and what's really important to you?

5 – What can you do with your time that is important? We have a finite amount of time, so we need to get clear on what matters to us and what we should actually be spending our time on.

6 – If you had unlimited money, let's say 10 billion dollars, what would you do with your life? If money were truly no object, how would you spend your free time?

7 – If you were going to die soon, what would you do for the remainder of your days?

8 – What does your ideal day look like? Literally write down what your ideal day looks like. Write down how you want your life to be. If you don't define it, it will never happen. You have to begin with the end in mind.

9 – Have you accomplished all you thought you would by now? Are you where you want to be? Be honest with yourself. What's missing?

10 – What did you want to do as a kid?

11 – What do you want to do on Saturday morning?

12 – What do you spend money to do? What hobbies do you enjoy?

13 – Follow your hobbies and find a way to make a living from it. How does that quote go? “Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life”. Plenty of people live their life this way and you can too!

Get clear on your purpose and create a purpose statement.

A purpose statement will keep you living life consciously and help you continue to be in alignment with your purpose when making any important decisions. It gives you direction and helps you stay on course. It's something you can constantly bounce your ideas and decisions off of. It puts the intention there and drives you. Write it down, keep it with you, read it often.

How to find your purpose - thanks for watching!
