How did you determine your personal life purpose? Did you read a specific book or take a personality test or an online quiz?

😄 I trusted my intuition. I always go with how I feel. I did a lot of things (read books mainly), but at the end of the day it was always someone else's experience. I had to disconnect to reconnect. I had to unlearn everything and rebuild my foundations based around my own experiences. I had to change the way I thought and felt
about myself through my own eyes.

I read the unbearable lightness of being and realised I need to take a deep breath and relax – shouldn't have so much pressure on myself

from my religion (Islam), many beautiful habits have planted in me, which one of them is, "slef-monitoring and love for others what u love to my self" …
because of this, i kept monitoring my self, my mentals and emotionals, till i could to deeply discover myself then i studied myself. also iam always interested in personality quizes, games and read or watch veriety of personality and characters studies and articles, this helped me to accept the real me, fix the bad me, improve the good me. then i could set up my purpose and my sub-purposes …

No I’ve always just wanted to give other people hope that I always wanted to get or have but never did. I just know there’s others out there like me and I really have just always wanted to give them hope that they can make it to the good sides of there story, instead of relying on there own voice. They can rely on mine to tell them that they can do it.

I contemplated my identity and listened to discussions about the topic on youtube. I wrote my purpose as, "My purpose is to feel" because I think about being a spirit reincarnated into a physical body so that I could experience love between friends and other emotions in this lifetime. Otherwise, I would go back to being a spirit and not knowing it because I don't have my 5 physical senses no more. Therefore, as long as I am a human, my purpose is to experience. That means to try new things, explore, be kind, etc.

I've just come to the conclusion that my life purpose is to enjoy life. I won't judge myself on success/ fitness/ beauty etc just whether I am happy and proud of who I am.
The people around me, my health, enjoying my job and the place I live. It's all important but to always remember my life purpose will alter as I grow. What makes me happy now may not in the future, or what makes me happy then may not now. So I should continue to chase what makes me happy. I don't envy a settled life, the more change the better. Especially as change & exploring is part of what makes me happy.
The more things I can look at around me and feel happy to have in my life, the more I have worked towards my purpose.
My purpose is to be happy.

I haven’t yet determined my life purpose. I think of it as an ever growing and evolving thing. Everyday I reflect on what I think my purpose might be, but I never know. I try my best.

I simply looked at what I do than asked myself “what fuels you to do this?”. Most of the time the answer reveals itself.

I came to my life's purpose by simply following my natural tendencies.
I was slanted toward helping others. I could see what others couldn't see, hear what others didn't hear.
I sought out a career that I wouldn't have to retire from.
Paid well. Respectable, trusted
& necessary work.
Because I loved it, I've never worked a day in my life.
I am a registered nurse in the
Operating Room.

I have worked hard in my life to find out truth and find my place in life. My greatest teacher has always been within. I find sitting in nature, or getting quiet enough, just to listen to the answers that come up fom the heart. You will find the truth is often not all the mind buzz, but when you ask the question, what is my purpose? Sit quietly for a bit and let the answer float up. We have all the answers inside of us, if we only get quiet enough to listen. How do we get quiet? Breathing helps a lot, turning off the noise in our houses. I breathe in through the nose filling up that space all the way under my lungs, then you can breathe out through the mouth. I do this at least 5 times. You can do it for a few minutes if that helps too. The Dalai Lama said if you never meditate, breathing is the best thing you can do, concious breathing. Yoga also has its foundation in breathe work. You will know it when you sit with it. It will not come from a book or a course, as it has already been transcribed in your heart.

I have observed the people around me, I have learned from their life stories, but most importantly, I have never suppressed the voice inside me and I have followed the path shown by her, I'm still following. Also, as long as I can remember myself, even when I was a little kid, my life purpose was always with me. One day I just got up and took action to make this my reality.

The way I determined my purpose in life was through putting myself in different situations and seeing what I feel passionate about.

I just look at what I like doing and what I usually do! I also like to see people happy so I figured I wanted to help people!

My life passion was to become a paramedic. I got my calling late in life. I think your life's purpose is partly genetic. The talents you were born with that are or are similar to your parents. Medicine field was in my mother and grandmother's profession. I found out I have a love for the medical field, so I studied and became an EMT.

I just know what I love doing, I dream for succsess since early highschool, but I was afraid to achieve it. Now the only thing that blocks me is my mental health and disorganization due to it. I work to heal myself at the moment because there is a bigger purpose to chase.

I didn't do any I endorsed the pain of loving ,losing and heartbreak I used tiktok as an escape from reality and it helped alot my personal life is really bad even though I'm twelve I try to make others happy while making myself sad

I think that takes time as it was always a question in my head since I can remember. Instead of looking at others and their achievements I focused on me, & where I’m at in life., and how I can be the best version of myself in every area. Eg: work, marriage, family relationships, friendships etc… From there on, over time, I realised what I’m naturally good at and passionate about. With little but not no effort, the 2 combined was a winning combination to help me see what my life purpose is.

It's all in the grand design. We are all designed to perform a certain task. Look deeper and first know who you are to know your purpose.

I thought about many of my experiences and unplanned circumstances. I also thought about what my role was when problems arose and how I felt when different roles were taken.

I'm a highly sensitive person and that's why I'm highly self aware since childhood. I was a demanding child but I recently discovered that it was very normal. But as a child I interpreted as being a nuisance to my parents which bothered me to the point I became quiet child who has no needs nor wants. Also a child who doesn't express much negative emotions and sometimes bursts with negative emotions only to feel judged by their parents. It was bad. But I'm a caring person which caused me to think about others before myself. I suffered quiet a bit because of my childhood experiences which led me to become an empath. I can perceive others feelings very easily. Although sometimes I misunderstand but most of the times I'm right about them. I can feel the energies around me as my own. This is a terrifying power because I absorb emotions and energies regardless of their positivity or negativity. I care deeply about other people and don't want anyone to suffer. I'm very sensitive to other's sufferings and pain. This is the reason I felt like being a healer. I want to heal people from the roots of their problems. I want to offer salvation to everyone whom I can in my power. I want to free people of their pains. This is the way I found out my personal purpose of life. This is the reason I chose to want to become a doctor who impacts and improves lives. Recently I found out that I want to become a youtuber as well. But I don't know yet what topic to choose or else I can just go choose multiple topics. I want to do it despite of my social anxiety. I want to overcome my anxiety and become a youtuber and a doctor as well. So that my purpose to live impacts as many people as possible. I want to see people healthy and happy. Sometimes I think I want to become a pediatrician so that I can ensure atleast the children I will be looking after have a good and healthy childhood. I want to become a mother myself to nurture and love my children into becoming responsible, compassionate and loving adults. This is how I found my purpose to live. And to become a better person day by day for me and for the people around me.
