What you want to do with your life !
Does people know what they want to do early in their life ? Some people do. but most of them aren't sure about the purpose of life or what is it they really wanted to do. They just live.
People find pleasures in different things. A normal boy coming out of his adolescent age will have no idea on what meaningful thing he has to do unless he has a good guide. Now how many of us got a life guide ?
Some people figure out what they wanted to do in their twenties, some in their thirties or fourties.
Some never identify at all. By the time they decide what is it they needed out of life, most of them would have fallen in the fallacy of societal pressures and commitments. They might have enrolled into some irrelevant degrees or some jobs or entered into a family life. Now they don't have any choice to quit what they do and unlearn. They have a family to feed or boss to answer or some degree to pass. Most of them stick on to what they do. They quit their desire to find the purpose just because that is the most easy thing to do at that moment.
A person who is in 30s realising , he is someone who has skill of motivational speaker, might already be at a job which require none of those skills. He gets frustrated with his job and will do it just for money. How frsutrating it will be for a person to write some Java Codes when his actual interest is travelling the world and making vlogs. Everyone has the option to quit the current situation and go and pursue their dreams or purpose.But how many of us do that?
Most importantly how manyof us has figured the purpose of life. Money is not the purpose, people confuse money with purpose, being rich with money is often identified as purpose of life. Money is just a by product. It is not the purpose.
What you want to do with life ?
If there is no money existing in this world, what would you do to keep your soul happy ?
Will you be able to do something without expecting anything in return lifelong ?
Above 3 questions needs to be answered by every individual before they turn 21. Actually there is no age restriction to this but earlier the better.
These days you get motivation everywhere. Insta reels , facebook posts, youtube channels give so much ideas and motivations about life. But seriously speaking are they useful? Has it changed your monotonous life to take a sharp U turn. There could be few people who got idea struck with such things. But again large chunk of people falls in the category of spectators of these motivations. Even if they do something for the sheer purpose of motivation, it wont last long enough since that is the not the real thing their real self needs.
So how to identify the purpose of your life . Interesting question of course. People have different answers.
Taking guidance from life coaches and wise elders who know you is the simple and fastest way. But how many got such right people around you.
Here's the simplest way !
1) Take a week break from your life.
2) Take a week off from your work
3) Take a week away from your spouse and kid if you are family person
4) Take a week off from your college or studies
5) Take a week off from your phones and internet.
Take a week off from your current world is what I mean. No phones, No calls, No friends, No family, No work, No TV, No newspaper, No Internet.
You be all alone ! You go where ever you get some me time.
Think , Think , Think !
A question may arise what to think ?
Think of all those things you have done in your entire life till date.
Think of all those games you have played
Think all those books you have read
Think all those presentations and performances you have made in front of crowd
Think all those minute achievements
Think of all setbacks
Think of all people you have encountered in your life
Make a journal or note it down in a small notebook. You don't need full description of your thoughts.
Just the synopsis , to rewind.
Note down everything, Even if its a silly sports event or school arts festival or Rookie award at your first company or a word of appreciation from your parents or teachers.
Note down all the failures or insults you have encountered.
Make a journal which is a reverberation of your past life
Read this journal over and over again during this week off !
More the times you read , more you will be clear on your personality, more clear you will be on your real self. Now make a interpretation of your personal self from this journal. Be brutally honest about it. Think of nothing during this week. Think of this week as a long pending holiday from hassles of monotonous life.
Your purpose of life or what you want to do with your life lies in your past life or events. At least it shows what you are good at , it shows what you enjoy the most, where should you invest your rest of your life to .
Be very honest about the interpretations. If you realise , you are sports person and you do computer coding now, make ways to quit the current Job even if it pays you million dollars. Learn to put your interests ahead of money. Don't make decisions based on the recognition you get or money you earn.
Make decision about your purpose of life from your past , your memories, your heart , from real you !
Ultimately one who follows his real passion is found to be content with life. The person who identifies his purpose will lead a meaningful life.
"You only live once , if you do it right once is enough "
