Find Your Life Purpose

Your life has an inner purpose and an outer purpose. Inner purpose concerns “Being” and is primary. Outer purpose concerns “doing” and it is secondary. Eckhart Tolle, A New Earth

How Do You Find Your Life Purpose

Tolle says we have an inner as well as an outer purpose. According to Tolle, to find your inner life purpose involves spiritually awakening to your oneness with all humanity – a common purpose. This requires a shift in our brains which allows us to “Be” more present in the moment. More and more people across the planet experience this inner purpose each month.

Our outer purpose concerns “doing” i.e. taking action steps. Being in alignment with the inner purpose of humanity brings us greater joy in our outer purpose.

Does Your Outer Life Purpose Involve Making More Money/Having More?

Mark Rose in Discovering Your Life’s Purpose outlines 3 steps to find your life purpose. The first step requires helping others. Think about what you and most people do in your jobs. You provide a service in some way, either mundane like a fast food worker or more complex as a C.E.O. of a business serving others.

3 Steps to Find Your Life Purpose:

1. What do you want to do to help others?

2. What do you enjoy/love doing – your passion?

3. What talents do you have to find and fulfill your life purpose?

Does your life purpose that you love help others by using your strengths and talents?

Note: Your present job may be the same as your life purpose. If your job differs from what brings you joy, as it does for most people, would it give you time to pursue your life purpose once you discovered it?
