Living with purpose. It’s an interesting concept and something that can have a positive impact on your entire life. When we live with purpose, we get more done. We create meaning in our life. And we’re happier and more fulfilled.
That’s why it’s an important topic to discuss. It’s also what inspired me to put together a 30 day series of blog posts around it.
Over the course of the month, we’ll take a look at living with purpose and how we can start to live more intentionally. We’ll look at how this will affect all aspects of our lives. And of course, I will have plenty of hands-on tips and suggestions for you.
Let’s start today by talking a little bit about what it means to live with purpose. In essence, it means that you know what you’re doing.
You have goals and are passionate about what you do. Instead of simply letting the days pass you by, you work with purpose to make the most of each day.
Living with a purpose has a couple of big advantages over mere existence. When you know exactly what you want to do with your life, you have a clear plan or path. You don’t have to get up each morning and then try to figure out what you’ll do. You get into action and keep working toward the goals you set based on your purpose.
You have a clear set of core values that you follow, based on your purpose. This will come in handy anytime you have a decision to make. Think of these values as a compass that keeps you on track.
What’s most important is that living with purpose gives you a great sense of self-worth. You know what you’re doing and you’re taking action toward the goals you’ve set for yourself.
Not only does this increase your feeling of self-worth and self-confidence. It will give a big boost to your happiness.
In the end, that’s what it’s all about, isn’t it? We all want to live a happy and fulfilled life with meaning. That’s why it’s important to start thinking about living with purpose.
