I know some people claim that they’re living their life purpose and they’re very happy, but is this goal attainable for everyone? I’ve read a few self-help books on this subject and gone through several exercises where I’m asked to write down likes, dislikes, talents, wants etc. but it didn’t really help me to find my life purpose. I didn’t even feel like it really narrowed down what area I should be concentrating on. I’ve always known what I liked doing and they are a whole variety of things e.g. writing poetry, creating artwork plus more.

I guess I expected a eureka moment like the books describe, when I finally discover the thing I’m supposed to dedicate my life to. The one thing that I can make a career out of, the one thing that will make me feel fulfilled.

Maybe I should stop worrying about what I’ll end up doing with my life and just live it. If I take each day as it comes and try and find joy in the moments I have, then maybe that’s my life purpose and nothing else. Maybe my life purpose is to raise my son in the best way I possibly can. Maybe it’s to live the best life I can. Maybe it’s all of these things.

I’m going to mark this goal as done and worth doing just because it made me thing about my life in a more in depth way.
