I am sure there are more than 10 reasons why finding and living your purpose enhances your life, but if you begin with these ten, your life will be greatly expanded and enhanced.
#1 Your purpose makes a great Impact on You and in the World
When you’re doing something that you feel and believe matters, you will naturally find yourself wanting to help other people improve their lives. When other people witness your passion and watch as you live out your purpose in life it often inspires them to make positive changes in their own lives. The world needs more people to live their passion and serve their true purpose in life.
#2 It is wonderful to Do What You Love
When you discover your purpose you find what makes you feel most alive. Living your purpose leads you toward your greatest dreams. With your passion and purpose serving as rocket fuel to your greatest dreams, you no longer find yourself making excuses to be less than the very best you can be. You live on your own terms and wake up excited to go and do what you love!
#3 Your purpose provides Direction
When you understand your purpose you better understand the direction you are supposed to go in life. You are no longer wandering aimlessly. The yellow brick road appears before you and off you go to your personal Land of OZ.
#4 With purpose everything is easier
Finding your purpose involves learning about your strengths, passions and values and gaining a deep insight and understanding into yourself and those around you. Manifesting becomes easier for you because your greatest dreams have a plan. The things you need to fulfill your life purpose come to you easily because you are in your ‘flow’. Your purpose provides you with vision and direction, by using these internal gifts you are connected to the life-source.
#5 It is great to get paid to live your passion
When you understand your purpose you are curious to understand how can you better use the gifts God has so abundantly blessed you with and offer something wonderful back to the world? Your purpose helps you to better understand who can benefit from your gifts and talents. When you better understand who benefits most from your gifts and talents, you will discover that people will pay you for that understanding and it is great to get paid to live your passion and purpose.
#6 You will choose to settle for MORE in life
Instead of settling for less, you settle for MORE from life. We were all created for a unique and wonderful purpose. When you discover your life’s true path your life grows into more than you believed possible.
#7 You will discover your true self
When you discover and live your purpose you discover your true self, but more than that, you discover why you were created in the first place. You know what works for you and what doesn’t. Most importantly you are no longer drive simply to please other people, but instead you are driven to serve other people and through service you please yourself. You want to learn more about yourself, live more in alignment with your gifts and talents and make your dreams come true.
#8 You will inspire others with your Purpose
Your energy, your passion, your zest and love of live will have people wondering what the warm glow that surrounds your life really is. They will be in awe at your happiness and ability to never get tired or bored doing what you do when you have found your purpose. In essence you will inspire others by living your purpose to find theirs.
#9 You will live a Happier Life
People who have found their life’s purpose are happier. Here’s why. Your purpose consists of giving of yourself to others and when you do this, you create happiness and a joy that supports and nourishes your life. Finding your purpose and living a life of passion is one of the ways you can say thank you to God for giving you your precious life.
#10 You will understand your WHY
The two greatest days in your life are the day you were born and the day you learn Why.
“Your purpose in life is to find your purpose and give your whole heart and soul to it” ~ Buddha
