Why Is Finding Life’s Purpose So Hard?

Many go through life without ever really finding their purpose. This can be hard to understand, especially when it seems like everyone else around you seems to have their life figured out. So why is finding life’s purpose so hard? There are a few main reasons why it can be difficult to find your purpose. 

It’s not something that can be found overnight. It takes time and introspection to determine what you’re genuinely passionate about and what you want to devote your life to. More on that in a bit. Secondly, our society doesn’t encourage us to think about our purpose in life. We’re told to go to school, get a job, and start a family – but not everyone fits into that mold, and not everyone wants those things. Finally, it can be scary to commit to one thing when there are so many options out there. It’s easy to feel like you’re making the wrong choice or that you’re not good enough for whatever it is, you’re trying to do. 

These factors make it hard to find your purpose in life, but it’s not impossible. If you’re struggling to figure out what you want to do with your life, it’s important to take the time to explore different options and figure out what makes you happy. Don’t be afraid to try new things or step outside your comfort zone – sometimes, that’s where the best opportunities lie. And most importantly, don’t give up. Everyone has their own unique purpose, you have to find yours.

The First Step Is Finding Purpose.

The first step to finding your purpose in life is understanding what brings you fulfillment. What makes you feel happy, accomplished, and satisfied? Once you know what brings you fulfillment, you can begin to look for opportunities to do more of those things. You may find that your purpose is related to your career, or it may be something completely separate from your job. It could be something as simple as spending time with your family or friends or volunteering for a cause you’re passionate about. No matter what your purpose is, the important thing is that it’s something that brings you happiness and fulfillment. Once you’ve found your purpose, pursue it with everything you’ve got. It’s worth it! 

Our Purpose Reveals Itself

Our Purpose reveals itself with spiritual maturity. Once we commit to living a spiritually heart-centered life, our purpose starts to reveal itself. First, it comes in small ways. For example, when synchronistic events occur, it tells us we are in the flow and where we are supposed to be. Be patient and quietly aware while looking for purpose, and it will show itself. Meanwhile, enjoy the direction your spiritual development takes you.

We Are Attracted To What We Need

Many times in life, we are attracted to what we need. This is another clue to finding purpose. Our attraction comes from inspiration and directly from our higher self. Our higher self is always looking out for our best interests. If we need something, our higher self will try to get us to acquire it, and one of the ways it does this is by making us attracted to people who have what we need. So, if you find yourself attracted to someone, ask yourself what it is that you need. 

Mostly, inspiration and attraction lead us to the skills or knowledge we will need later. As we move through life, it becomes apparent that certain skills or knowledge will be required in order to achieve our goals. These may not be immediately obvious, but our purpose will eventually reveal them to us. 

For example, if our goal is to start our own business, we will need to learn about marketing, finance, and management. If we want a promotion at work, we may need to improve our public speaking or networking skills. The point is that as we identify our purpose in life, the path to achieving it will become clear. And along the way, we will acquire the skills and knowledge we need to make it happen. When we keep at it, we find what works for us.

Quietly Pay Attention

When caught up in the whirlwind of life, it’s easy to become reactive and go through the motions without being fully present. But if we can quiet the noise and pay attention, we may start to see that there’s more to life than what meets the eye. As we go about our lives, we’re constantly bombarded with stimuli. Our brains are constantly processing information and trying to make sense of it all. This can lead to us feeling scattered, unfocused, and like we’re just going through the motions. But what if we could take a step back and quietly pay attention? 

When we quietly pay attention, we open ourselves up to receive guidance from our higher nature. We tune into our intuition and allow ourselves to be led by our higher self. This doesn’t mean that we ignore what’s going on around us, but rather that we become more present and aware of the synchronicities that are happening all around us. 

When we quietly pay attention, we start to see that there is so much more to life than what meets the eye. We begin to understand that everything is connected and that there is a grand plan at work, even when it feels like things are falling apart. We realize that life is not happening TO us, but FOR us. So next time you find yourself caught up in the hustle and bustle of life, take a step back and Quietly Pay Attention. See where it leads.

A Purpose We All Share

We are each unique individuals that are helping the universe shift into a new tomorrow. The more we work on ourselves, the more we help the universe become a more peaceful and sustainable environment. Spirit is quietly waiting to give us the assistance necessary once we relax, focus, and understand that our purpose is part of the bigger picture.

Keep seeking the answers in life. We never have all the answers. That’s the wonderful part of being human – allowing the mystery to unfold –David Bennett
