My Purpose In Life

How many times have you contemplated your purpose? Whether it be in life, in school, or in the universe as a whole. Human beings roam this planet in search of their meaning in life. They go on wild soul-searching adventures, take time off to rediscover themselves, or try to make a change in the world in hopes of finding their lives purpose. In chapter six of Daniel H. Pinks non-fiction book; “Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us,” Pink discusses how people who do something in the service of some greater objective can achieve more in life than those who don't.

It's a fundamental belief of mine that each one of us is brought upon this world with a major definite purpose in life. Everyone has a unique destiny for contributing to this world using their unique blend of talents and passions. I have no doubt that most people today work hard and stay busy with daily activities. The problem I've noticed is that many people live their lives without any sense of meaningful purpose that gives their lives passion and significance. They get caught up in the daily mechanical routines of life and they become creatures of habit rather than purpose-driven beings. Finding and shaping your major definite purpose is perhaps the most important thing that you will ever do in your life because your purpose is the driving force that spawns all the achievements that you will ever accomplish and it provides that unlimited source of motivation that drives you to achieve all the goals that you set for yourself and enables you to live life to the fullest.

Starting middle school was a mixture of anxiety and excitement. There was a brand new campus to explore, but we were also nervously anticipating the academic program that was about to begin. Most of my grade had been together since the age of four and by this time there were clear social divides. There were the girls who were seen as popular, and then there was everybody else. You could say that I was part of the popular crowd, though at the time I didn’t notice myself standing apart from the others. As a group of friends we got on well, we’d hang out, go to the cinema, have sleepovers, all the usual things friends do. Then things gradually started to change.

Finding your purpose in life is easily the most meaningful day other than the day you were born. In a Long Way Gone, Ishmael Beah seemed to find his calling at a young age. He found this calling through hardships and breakthroughs, this calling lead him to happiness and success after a traumatizing experience. Your purpose will not be found by sitting around, but it can be found at any time in your life by taking on new opportunities, challenging yourself, and you will recognize when you have found that purpose.

All my life I’ve been trying to find my purpose. I always knew that my purpose in life was to help people, but I didn’t know how I really wanted to accomplish this. Upon graduating high school I was confused

I like to think of middle school as the experimental period of your life before you can actually do anything once you get to high school. This is most certainly is true for me, not just because of my questionable fashion choices or hairstyles, but because I had gone through several different phases of wanting to pursue theater. Yep, you’re just a lucky one aren’t you? Another theater story. However, this story is a bit different from the last one. Yes, it is a story that shaped me into the person I am today, but not necessarily for the reasons you may have in mind. This is the story of one of the most shocking experiences I have ever endured throughout my time in middle school (and my life as a whole); a story about

Everyone has a different story just as everyone has a different purpose. Finding your purpose in life is arguably the whole point of living. There are people who do not know what their purpose is, and maybe they never will. J.k Rowling's purpose in life was to write novels, that was her passion. Tiger Woods’ passion is golf, so that is what he chose to pursue in his lifetime.

There is a lot one can one can accomplish in life if we realized there's probably nothing we can’t do once we uniquely set our minds on doing them. And who are you, and what you do is very important to God. God put you together very uniquely so that you can have an influence not necessarily on the whole world but at least on one person. Were then made on purpose and to be able to fulfill a unique purpose in life, as designed by God. Proverbs 20:5 tells us; “The purposes of a person’s heart are deep waters, but one who has insight draws them out.” Genesis 1:27 informs us that, we are made

There’s few things in life that no money can buy or nobody can do for you. One of them is finding your purpose and having a will to succeed. Although many will try, no one can tell you what is actually your purpose. That is for you to find out. I believe that out of all people, us teenagers, have this huge question of ‘what next?’ staring them in the face. I think that finding purpose is one of the most significant themes throughout the movie and book “Freedom Writers” directed by Richard LaGravenese (book) written by Erin Gruwell (and all the students of room 203). The movie is a heartfelt drama that is meaningful, and based on a true story. I will be discussing three main points; stereotypes/expectations, choice of your future and seeing

Without a life purpose, your mind will be forever jumping around from one thing to another, tricking you to do less important things in your life for the sake of security and safety. I am sure that you would feel that way if you have been working all your life but see no point and joy in doing so. Rather, we should all discover what life wants us to do rather than lead an empty life.

Sometimes a person may feel that they have no purpose in life. Finding out who you are just takes the time of sitting down and thinking of the importance in your life. Who am I? I am Mercedes Kimberly Kingston, and I am a person with different personalities, characteristics, and identities. The many ways, in which I identify myself, in fact, are the ways that define who I am. My Identity is something only I can fully define. I have a little brother, which makes me a sister; I have two loving parents, which makes me a daughter; I am in college studying medicine, which makes me a student; and I have wonderful friends in desperate need of support, which makes me a wonderful best friend.

The first year, the time to prove myself had arrived. Classes, rooms, teachers, and some students were unfamiliar. Eventually, minutes melted into hours, hours to days, and days to weeks. It didn’t take long before my schedule was routine, something of second nature. Humor and happiness were found in the form of my advisory family, where school was transformed into something more than going through the same motions of day to day activity. By the closing point of sixth grade, I was having a hard time letting go of what I’d adapted to. “What’s wrong?” my dad asked when I was getting into the car after being picked up early on the last day. I explained how distressed I was that my first year of middle school exceeded my expectations, and that it had to come to an end. Although his outlook viewed my reason for sorrow as trivial, I didn’t.

It was 2016, and I was finally a senior in high school. Being a senior in high school was something that I had dreamed of since my early middle school days, and at last, I was there. It was the last year in one of my least favorite environments, and I couldn’t wait to graduate and move away from the only place I had ever known. I had lived in the same town for seventeen years, and I had gone to the same school with the same people for thirteen years. I was looking forward to something new in my life. I was most excited for my senior year because it was the year that I was going to choose where I wanted to move away to and what school I wanted to spend the next four years of my life at. As the year moved along, I slowly realized that I wasn’t moving away and that I’d be staying home to attend college, which was one of the most difficult decisions that I ever had to make.

Setting priorities by knowing themselves through doing or action will help define purpose in one’s life. For example, A purpose can be found in the necessary things people do, like cooking for their loved ones, a purpose can be in someone’s career, personal activities, and providing for their family. A good place to start finding what a person believe is to ask oneself what an individual believe the meaning of life is: “The true value of a human being is determined primarily by the measure and the sense in which he has attained liberation from the self” (Albert Einstein). Purpose in life can change at different points. A purpose may be discovered at this very moment in someone’s life. In months or years from now, life may be different and be served by a new sense of purpose. For instance, life’s purpose may have everything to do with getting established in

From my own personal experience, there are two types of students in college - those who know exactly what they want to do and have a plan laid out for achieving that goal, and people who have no idea what they want to with their lives. I fall into the latter category. However, purpose, in my opinion, is not something that falls into your lap nor is it something that can be thrust upon you. A Purpose is an ever-changing that never ceases to manifest itself in your life. However complex it may become I believe that with a fair bit of guidance and determination, most people can find some sort of path or purpose in their own lives.
