5 Reasons Why Finding Your Life Purpose is the Key to a Happy Life
Looking for happiness in all the wrong places? On a never-ending pursuit to find that little old thing called happiness? But what does that even mean? And how can we find something if we don’t know exactly what we are looking for? Well, we have good news. There is an easier way to find your happiness, but first you need to find your purpose.
That’s right, finding your purpose is the key to living a happy life and here’s why.
IT GIVES YOU MOTIVATION
A purpose gives you the drive and motivation to get through everyday life. Let’s be real, life throws us curve balls. There will be days that are tedious and hard, but if you have an end goal, there will always be something driving you to keep going. Purpose gives you a reason to get up in the morning. While you will encounter a challenge here and there, you begin to see it as an opportunity for growth and experience towards achieving your purpose. So while there may be times you are disheartened, you are more likely to keep on trying and this will keep you from becoming unhappy.
IT MAKES LIFE REWARDING
If you have something to work towards, you will be inspired to make progress. If you feel invested and feel like you are achieving something, everything that you experience will be worth it. You won’t dwell on the negatives, instead focusing on the things that have gone right and all the mini achievements along the way. This means that there will be plenty to celebrate on your journey. This will help you to keep a positive mindset as you navigate life.
IT STIMULATES PASSION
Passion is the thing that puts fire in our bellies and fills our hearts. It’s what makes us care enough to face adversity and unless our inner warrior. Without passion, our lives would be very dull indeed. Having something that you are passionate and care about is important to happiness. A passion can provide joy and result in your happiness.
IT INCREASES EVERYDAY ENGAGEMENT
While some mornings it maybe harder to get out of bed than others, a purpose will ensure that you do. It will also help you to become absorbed in your week. Have you ever experienced a time when you have been so consumed in a pleasant task you haven’t paid any attention to time and somehow hours have slipped by? This is true engagement and makes you a lot happier than staring at a clock, watching the second tick by.
IT HELPS YOU BE FULFILLED
If you have a purpose, you will no longer wake up wondering what the point is. You will no longer feel aimless as you will have an established end goal. If we achieve our purpose, we are more likely to feel fulfilled.
