Purpose is so broad and multifaceted that a one-page post as this would be nothing but a drop in an ocean. So, permit me to concern myself with the elements of purpose that concerns fulfilment.
Purpose is one of the core features that communicates essence in life. If fulfilment is the sum total of essence, then purpose is the precursor to fulfilment. Your purpose might be transient; it would evolve become bigger and broader as the days go by.
The very existence of growth and personal development highlights that purpose is mostly transient and not entirely static. Purpose is important because it answers many of the salient answers that tugs at the heart of humanity, such questions as why, what, when, where, who and how?
Purposefulness entails introspection, retrospection, and projection that seeks to maximize and underly the reasons for existence as well as encapsulates the value proposition your presence communicates.
Purpose help organizations and individuals to focus on what is important per time, it gives meaning, direction. It also provides the incentive and inspiration to stay with what really matters.
Purpose highlights the uniqueness and peculiarity of your individuality. Your purpose profoundly characterizes your sense of direction and finetunes your unique peculiarity. Beyond your demographic or morphological profoundness, Purpose is the premise on which you make meaningful and lofty contributions to humanity.
Your purpose demands some form of self-awareness. Your purpose is not some farfetched utopian ideal that taunts or redefines your person. This might happen in rare instances but in most cases purpose keys into, embraces, prescribes or embellishes your truism. Purpose interacts with your dreams, aspirations, strengths, weaknesses, talents, passions, dispositions, and affiliations.
Some of the ways to discover your purpose is to observe your endowments, your opportunities, your flair and your environment viewed in light of prevalent challenges. So, examine what draws your attention, for your purpose will attract you. whenever you find your mind reacting to specific opportunities, you are likely being nudged to purpose, no matter how odd it may seem. The journey to purpose begins when you are aware that within you (despite your name, your age, your tribe, your sex, your family background, your physique) are things that your environment is waiting to harness to make it a better place. As such realities might promote purpose on a personal or enterprise level.
A consciousness of purpose diminishes distraction, increase efficiency, effectiveness and productivity? Purpose points you in direction of the thing(s) or intents that communicates deep satisfaction to you. Purpose prioritizes your advocacy, it is the core of your service to society, that noble pursuit that brings profound sense of satisfaction.
I presume that everyone is born to serve a cause, promote an interest to solve a problem. Purpose is your attempt at adding your stroke of paint to the masterpiece of humanity. It is you contributing your colour to a broader array of colours that humanity represents. The discovery and implementation of purpose is simply about living life to the fullest, as best you can. Your endowments or potential reflect or mirror your capability, which in turn inspires your ability.
