Default How I Found My Passion and Purpose in Life

I wrote about my personal experience of how I finally found my life passion and purpose.

How I Found My Passion and Purpose in Life

What it means to me and the steps I took to achieve it.

I hope it can help some of you guys out as it did for me.

Thanks.

hmmm, I found your article to be quite on the surface, like you really missed the fine points.

I've been on a self discovery journey myself and I still can't put into words how I came out better the other end I think mainly it was about me pushing through, even when I wanted to give up on the scary, negative thoughts. I suspect that you may not even have gotten to your purpose in life, you think you have, but may not actually be the case or I might be wrong

OMG that video, I had to turn it off after 10 seconds of watching, that guy is freaking annoying and seems insincere. Is he on drugs or what?

I agree with Ellie. If that video is what made you "click", then you have a lot of clicking to do still. But hey, I could be wrong, so congrats on finding your life passion and purpose.

I have to agree, I did stay and watch the entire video, figured maybe he had some valid points, something that I could relate to, yet, nothing, I couldn't get anything from him, it seemed, to me, that there was some sort of ulterior motive... I mean, come on, the decimals in your bank account, I think that obviously he is worried about that, else why post the video? Why try to meet as many people as you can, why network? Sorry, but I like having commas in my bank account... If you had found your life purpose from that, by all means, whatever suits you, I'm not one to judge, just posting my comments... I'm glad that you've found your purpose, hopefully I can be next lol!!

Well, I'm not inspired by a purpose of meeting every human being on earth, but I do love AlexG's purpose to Share, Create, Inspire, and Connect.

AlexG, you've written your article from a perspective of what that will mean for you (lots of "I"'s in there); perhaps you'd like to write another one talking about the impact you see possible for others of your living a life on your stated purpose. What would really be possible in the world if you were stepping into such a future? What qualities and conditions would be present in the world? That would be really inspiring to read about, I think!

Default congrats to you!

I'm glad you feel that you have found your life's purpose, for now.

Since life is about constant change and shifting perceptions, I suspect that what you consider your life's purpose today may change at some point.......in five minutes, five days or five years- I don't know exactly when.

Don't be upset if this occurs, embrace this change. We all do.
