There are questions you can ask yourself, if you want to find meaning, seek your purpose and live the life you want.
Each year, we set a lot of aspirations and goals we want to achieve for ourselves. Sincerely, not all of these priorities of ours are achieved. Sometimes we just say it, write it down in our journals or notebooks but never try to work on them. Other times, we start working on our dreams; initiate them by setting goals suddenly this happen to us, we are stucked not to work on them again, pushing us to pause on our dreams.
One of the mechanism to overcome this experience is to find your purpose. I guess, you have heard the word “ purpose”, “find your purpose” many times of your life. Most experts, preachers, authors and coaches and many other experts, always recommend the practice of finding your true calling. The noise as others might say, is too much to bear, but truth being told, what they spell out to help you find and follow your purpose is absolutely true. Purpose is important in life if you want to attain the meaning and live a successful life. It is worth gold.
“ Lead with purpose, Grow in determination and tranquility. Above all shape lives too.- This is a quote inside The Search Workbook.
Why should you find your purpose.

Finding and following your purpose is like a driver travelling to a far land but he has one problem, he doesn't know where he is going and how he is going to reach there, the positive thing on his journey is that he has a map to direct him to his destination.
