Find Your Purpose

Most men never think about their purpose. This is because most men are vapid and shallow. They only care about fads and trends. They follow a path defined by society. 

Eat, sleep, wake up. Rinse and repeat. That is good enough. Thinking about life is too hard.

If you want to become just like them, think like them. It’s easy to fit in. But if you want to become something special. Find a purpose. Define who you are. Go against the normal.

How do you find your purpose?

Once you define your purpose, your life will begin. Trust me. Without a life purpose, others will direct the course of your life. These other people will not have your best interests in mind.

To begin to find your purpose, simply ask yourself this question, “Who do you want to become?”

You need to use self-reflection as a starting point and then get started. Do not worry about composing the clearest vision. Just begin to write one down. You can base your vision using the classical virtues as a reference: 

Honor, Loyalty, Discipline, Temperance, Excellence, and Quality

Now sit down and compose a statement that will allow you to live your best life. Grab a pencil and paper. Begin to take action. Your words have power. Write it down.

If you are unsure where to start, you can use my life mission as a reference.

I will lead a life committed to creating. Life revolves around creating and we will make creation itself a habit. My creations will promote quality and beauty.

I view my life mission as a map that helps guides me toward my best life.

Your life begins today.

Do not worry if you feel like you will never fulfill the life mission. That is normal. A life mission is just a target. Your purpose will never feel complete because your Life Mission can never be complete. 

Nothing is ever truly complete, and that is okay.

It is all about the journey you take. I want you to view everything moving forward through the prism of your life mission. Your mission exists to brings order from the chaos. Once you begin to see life clearly, you will notice that everything else in life becomes a diversion. Your pursuit of excellence is the answer.

When you have a purpose you will gain a new appreciation for life. You will be excited about what is to come, and what you’re about to do. Your Life Mission is something that must be pursued at all costs.  And you will never stop because you will live life with a purpose...
