How do you stop believing that you don’t have a purpose?

As I don’t have any talents and not even good at studying I started to believe I’m not good at anything and don’t have any purpose in life . I started to compare myself with others and loose my confidence and feel depressed and purposeless in life.

I’ve never believed that I didn’t have a purpose. I just didn’t know what my purpose was because I didn’t believe in myself.

In certain periods of our lives, we often feel like we don’t have any purpose. It’s normal to feel that way, especially after experiencing a traumatic life event like divorce or death in the family, or being stuck in the same condition for a while, such as working on the same job for years. But you couldn’t see that “something” that makes waking up in the morning worthwhile. Perhaps you had a purpose to be happily married, but then you were divorced. So you felt like you’ve lost that purpose. Perhaps you had a purpose to be the best in the workplace, but apparently you weren’t chosen for the promotion. So you felt like you’ve lost that purpose. You didn’t realize that those (being happily married and getting a job promotion) aren’t life purposes, as your existence isn’t defined by them. They, undoubtedly, are parts of your existence that contribute to valuable learning lessons in life. You grow as a person when experiencing the happier and the darker sides of life, which is something to be grateful for. The thing with discovering your purpose is that it’s not as simple as reading a book and finishing it. It’s not even as straightforward as going to school and obtaining a degree in psychology, humanities, business, engineering, medicine, or math. It’s not that simple and that straightforward because discovering your purpose isn’t a linear effort. Why Discovering Your Purpose Is Not Easy Discovering your purpose is an on-going process and it depends solely on yourself. You’ll go through good and bad periods when looking for it. Some days, you’d feel good that your life is purposeful; but on other days, you’d feel that you’re lost. Acknowledge both with an “observing mind“. Either way, it’s just what you feel. Your existence doesn’t depend on whether you feel that you have or have no purpose. In Zen Buddhism, there are two types of minds: the thinking mind and the observing mind. When you’re thinking about anything, you’re using the “thinking mind.” However, when you’re observing how you think, you’re using the “observing mind.”

First of all I look in the mirror and remind myself that I do have a purpose every day. Also I have accountability partner. And then around my home in different locations I have a little sticky reminders.

My family members like my sister and my step grandma made me believe I wasn’t worth it I felt useless I felt sad I felt like I was not love over time I staring to think that I had no purpose

Purpose doesn’t mean that you have to achieve something for the world. It simply means that you live consciously, make the best use of your skills, love people - friends or family and have good health. You never know how much you inspire people just by being your true self. This is purpose.

Tell yourself that you do. You might not think you have one but you do. Whether your purpose is to just help make one person smile a day, it still matters. Don’t be too hard on yourself if you don’t automatically see your purpose, staring you in the face; it can change day by day. Try not to be so hard on yourself. Believe in you and your abilities. Trust that you are on your own path to your own bright future.

I never stop believing because as long as I’m here taking a breath every morning, and serving others every day, then I always know that I have a purpose for life, because the measure of true success is how well we serve others in life.

Some people stop believing that their lives have purpose quite haphazardly. By becoming backseat drivers in their own lives, they let life happen to them for so long that they no longer realize that they ultimately have full control of what happens next in it. Once the control is lost and the habit of being a victim of life is instilled, they lose the primal knowledge that purpose comes from their conscious choice of what happens next. To ensure that you never forget that you have control of your life, and a reason for being here with us all, you must find your reason for being. Find out what drives you and what lights a fire inside you for the benefit not just of yourself, but of those in the world around you. The next thing you must do is plan to change who you are. Let the old version of you die on the alter of a greater self that you wish to become. Thirdly you must be mindful of every choice you make. Make the most basic to the most complex unseen choice seen so that it cannot control your life and force you to call it fate. Once this is done you will not only have purpose, but you will be hard-pressed to lose it.
