Being driven by purpose will make you happier and more successful. Examine your experiences and discover how to share your unique gifts. Read on to discover 7 easy steps to finding your life purpose

Fulfilling Your Life Purpose:

1. Be flexible in your approach. Don’t just focus on one thing. You may be surprised by some of your discoveries. You may even find that you have more than one purpose. Try to keep an open mind.

2. Change your assumptions. Look inside yourself to determine what assumptions you are holding inside. If you’re hesitant to act on your ambitions, you may have self-limiting beliefs that are holding you back. Remember your past accomplishments and focus on what you have to gain, not where you have felt that you could have done better.

3. Make realistic plans to become a true master in your purpose. It’s okay to aim high, but you want your targets to be feasible. Remember Bruce Lee’s famous statement and the meaning of true mastery, “I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times.” Focus on the task at hand and take one step at a time.

4. Set a daily intention. Keep your purpose fresh in your mind. As per above statement. Figure out one thing you can do each day to bring you closer to your goals. Consistent effort builds momentum, and small victories add up.

5. Evaluate your progress. Assess your development on a regular basis, so you can devote your efforts to activities with the highest payback. Weed out distractions and make adjustments as needed.

6. Find balance in your life. Give equal attention to contemplating your purpose and taking action.
   Otherwise, you can wind up overlooking your top priorities or missing opportunities.

7. Seek support. Pursuing your purpose is rewarding and challenging. It helps to have partners on your side. Ask your friends and family for the assistance you need to act as an accountability buddy. Team up with others who share your vision.
