5 QUESTIONS THAT HELP YOU FIND YOUR LIFE PURPOSE

As a child we tend to wonder what will our future will bring, as we get older we start to ask questions, like why are we here, what is the purpose? Must we just go through life and grow old and die, is this all that there is to offer.
Let’s take for example a friend of mine, as a young 14 year old he studied in school, where he chose to live, who he connected with and even what he did with many of his vacations and weekends.

And now, after almost half a lifetime of work later, he’s head of a major company and live a very happy life, dealing with everything that goes on today and still thinking what the purpose is?

1. What your favorite type of shit sandwich and does it come with mayo?
   

(everything sucks, some of the time) Now, that probably sounds incredibly pessimistic of me. But in fact this is a great idea, Everything Involves sacrifice, and everything has a cost attached to it, nothing is pleasurable or uplifting all the time, but what's good about us is that we can ride the rough patches and out the inevitable bad days.

2.What is true today that would make the 10 year-old version of you cry?

As a kid we want to do so much, be a firefighter, a policeman, even a superhero, but as we get older no one thinks they are going to be where they are today, I mean some people end up being heads of big companies, and other end up on a simple job and living from salary to salary with no future plan. We all have a tendency to lose touch with what we loved as a child. Sometimes about social pressure of adolescence and professional pressures of young adulthood squeezes the passion out of us. We’re tough that the only reason to do something is we’re somehow rewarded for it. All in all in the 10 year old version of me to ask the 21 year old version of me why didn’t you before a superhero, I would simply say because superheros like what you read in the comic books don’t exist. I’d probably started crying if I was told that and my dreams were broken.

3.How can you better embarrass yourself?

Before you are able to be good at something and do something important, you must first suck at something and have no clue what you’re doing. That’s pretty obvious. To suck at something and have no clue what you’re doing you must embarrass yourself in some shape of form, more once or twice, Yes, it seems that once again, it all comes back to vulnerability.
Right now, there’s something you want to do, something you think about doing, something you fantasize about doing, yet you don’t do it. You have your reasons, no doubt. And you repeat these reasons to yourself ad infinitum.
But if your reasons are, “My parents would hate it,” or “My friends would make fun of me,” or “If I failed, I’d look like an idiot,” then chances are, you’re actually avoiding something you truly care about because caring about that thing is what scares the shit out of you, not what mom thinks or what Mark next door says.
Great things are, by their very nature, unique and unconventional. Therefore, to achieve them, we must go against the herd mentality. And to do that is scary.Embrace embarrassment. Feeling foolish is part of the path to achieving something important, something meaningful. The more a major life decision scares you, chances are the more you need to be doing it

4.How are you going to save the world?

First of all, we can’t, a brief look a the news and see everything is going crazy in the world today
people always say to live a happy and healthy life, we must hold on to values that are greater than our own pleasure or satisfaction.
So pick a problem and start saving the world. There are plenty to choose from. Our screwed up education systems, economic development, domestic violence, mental health care, governmental corruption, Guns, they are so much wrong doing Hell, I just saw an article this morning on that slavery has started back in parts of the world, imagine that, in this day and age, 2017,it got me all riled up and wishing I could do something. It also ruined my day.
My advice, Find a problem you care about and try start solving it. Obviously, you’re not going to fix the world’s problems by yourself. But you can contribute and make a difference or some sort of change. And the feeling of making a difference is ultimately what’s most important for your own happiness and fulfillment.

5.If you knew you were going to die one year from today, what would you do and how would you want to be remembered?

Most of us don’t want to think about death or dying for that matter, it freaks us out. But in fact it had it advantages one of those advantages is that it forces us to zero in on what is actually important in our lives today and what isn’t.
What is your legacy going to be? What will people say about you when you’re gone, what is your obituary going to say? Will it say anything? If not what would you like it to say? How can you start working to that today?
if you fantasize about your obituary saying a bunch of badass shit that impresses a bunch of random other people, then again, you’re failing here.
When people feel like they have no sense of direction, no purpose in their life, it’s because they don’t know what’s important to them, and they don’t know what their values are.
And when you don’t know what your values are, then you’re essentially taking on other people’s values and living other people’s priorities instead of your own. This is a one-way ticket to unhealthy relationships and eventual misery. Discovering one’s “purpose” in life essentially boils down to finding those one or two things that are bigger than yourself, and bigger than those around you. It’s not about some great achievement, but merely finding a way to spend your limited amount of time well. And to do that you must get off your ass and act, and take the time to think beyond yourself, to think greater than yourself, and to imagine a world without yourself.
