Resolving to Find Your Purpose in Life

Updated: Jan 5, 2023



Are you feeling stuck and unsure of what your life purpose is? If so, it might be time to resolve to get clear on your purpose. Resolving to find your purpose can help you gain clarity, focus, and direction in your life. It can help you discover what truly motivates you and how you can best use your unique gifts and talents to make a positive impact on the world. In this blog post, we will explore how to make a resolution to find your purpose and how to build a meaningful life.


Define what success looks like for you

Success isn’t just about achieving a goal or acquiring material possessions. It’s about having a meaningful life and doing something that makes you happy. It means having meaningful relationships, making positive contributions to the world, and pursuing your passions.

To determine what success looks like for you, ask yourself what matters most in your life. Think about what gives your life meaning, what you love to do, and how you want to be remembered. Identify your core values, your goals, and the kind of life you want to lead. Once you know what matters most to you, use it as a guide to help you define success and stay on track.


Get rid of the distractions

The first step to finding your meaningful life is to get rid of the distractions. This means eliminating all things that take away from your ability to focus and concentrate on the important aspects of your life. It could be something as simple as unsubscribing from emails that don’t contribute to your goal or removing yourself from any social media platforms that no longer serve you. You can also limit the amount of news you watch or delete apps from your phone that are only distracting.

Additionally, you need to identify what type of environment helps you concentrate and focus better. That might mean working in a quiet office space or listening to music while you work. Make sure to put any strategies in place to help you avoid being distracted by anything that does not contribute to your meaningful life.


Simplify your life

If you want to build a meaningful life, simplifying your life is essential. Doing so will free up your time and energy, allowing you to focus on the things that matter most. Here are five tips for simplifying your life:

1. Declutter your physical space. Take some time to clear out your home or workspace of anything that no longer serves you. Get rid of anything that doesn’t bring you joy or help you reach your goals.

2. Minimize your digital presence. Unfollow accounts and unsubscribe from emails that don’t add value to your life. Then take steps to protect your online privacy and data.

3. Reduce commitments. Analyze your schedule and make sure that every activity you participate in is beneficial to you and your goals.

4. Prioritize self-care. Make sure that you’re taking care of yourself physically, mentally, and emotionally by eating well, exercising, and getting plenty of rest.

5. Make time for stillness. Spend some time each day in stillness—meditating, journaling, or simply being mindful of the present moment. This will help you stay connected to yourself and your values.

By taking the time to simplify your life, you can free up space and energy to focus on building a meaningful life.


Narrow your focus

If you want to build a meaningful life, then it's important to narrow your focus and make decisions based on what matters most. The idea of "narrowing your focus" means that you need to be deliberate about where you spend your time and energy. Instead of trying to do everything, try to focus on one or two things that are meaningful and important to you. Figure out what's most important and eliminate the things that don't matter. This doesn't mean you have to completely abandon other areas of your life; rather, it means you should focus your attention on what matters and do what's necessary to move forward in those areas. By narrowing your focus, you can create more meaningful goals and work towards them with clarity and purpose.


Set realistic goals

Finding your purpose in life can be a challenging journey, but setting realistic goals is an important first step. When it comes to goal setting, it's easy to get carried away with our ambitions and make grand plans that are too complex or overwhelming. Instead, it's best to set goals that are achievable and have meaning for you. Start by getting rid of the distractions and simplifying your life so you can narrow your focus. Think about what success looks like for you and then break down that goal into smaller, measurable steps. Be patient and persistent as you work towards your goal and remember that each step is bringing you closer to creating a meaningful life.


Be persistent

If you want to build a meaningful life, you must cultivate the power of persistence. Persistence is the key to success in any endeavor. It is what drives us to keep going when the going gets tough. It helps us push through obstacles and reach our goals, no matter how difficult the journey may be.

To stay on track, create a vision for yourself that inspires you to keep pushing forward. Visualize yourself achieving your goals and celebrate even the small victories along the way. Remind yourself why this meaningful life matters to you and focus on that instead of the negative emotions that come with failure or hardship.

Create a support system of people who will help you stay focused and motivated. Reach out to those who have been successful in similar pursuits and learn from their experiences. Ask them what helped them stay persistent and use those methods in your own journey.

Finally, develop strong self-discipline and learn to trust yourself. Your motivation will come and go but if you stay disciplined, you will always have something to rely on when times get tough. Building a meaningful life is no easy task but if you remain persistent, you can reach your goals and find success.


Be patient

Patience is essential when striving for a meaningful life. It takes time to grow, and it won't happen overnight. Don't be discouraged if you don't get the results, you desire immediately. Instead, focus on your progress each day and be grateful for all the successes you have achieved. Remind yourself that with patience and determination, you will eventually reach your desired outcome.

Take small steps in the right direction and recognize that the journey is just as important as the destination. Be patient with yourself and your progress, embrace any failures or setbacks as part of the learning experience and keep going. Staying focused and motivated on your end goal will help guide you through the difficult times and keep you on track.
