This month’s question from my portal Ask Dieter comes from a young lady in India, who wants to remain anonymous.
I want to know my purpose in life. ,I don’t enjoy life as my life is having too many ups and downs, pls guide me. Thank you.
Hello my Dear!
Thank you very much for writing to me!
In my humble opinion you are asking THE question!
Most people don’t dare to ask this question because we have never learned to deal with it (besides in a material way); and in most cases something serious has to happen before we start thinking: “this can’t be everything, there must be more to life than just making a living or helping other to make more profits”;
It took me years to define my life purpose/mission, and it was an interesting, educational but also sometimes painful journey. And I came to the conclusion that in order to live a fulfilling life we need to live for something bigger than ourselves.
Now, how can you start to get a clearer picture of your life purpose?
There are 3 questions which can get you going:
1st: What are your talents, where are you (might be) very good?
2nd: What do you really enjoy doing, which not only benefits you but others as well?
and
3rd: What are the roadblocks in your life?
Also, instead of only trying to find answers intellectually you should meditate (in whatever form) on them; after all, deep down we all have our answers inside anyway, we just have to allow them to surface (you can find an explanation of the different meditation approaches at http://zenecagate.ning.com)
.
And be patient, it is a journey with all its delays and detours. And it is a wonderful journey!
Don’t hesitate to let me know if you want me to be of further support to you.
Smile, breathe, and go slowly!
With kind regards
Dieter Langenecker
