What is Purpose? How does one define Purpose?

A person's sense of resolve or determination. What are you determined to do, what is your resolution in life, why are you living and what you hope to achieve in life. This is what drives us, what gets us up in the morning.

Are we just being blown by the wind in all directions, and are not resolved to focus on one direction? That is living like a person without purpose. Define our purpose has strong correlation to us having goals. By setting goals, we define our purpose and set our direction in our life.

The first step in setting out to achieve goals and dreams is to first have reasons. We need a reason to constantly work on something. We wake up in the morning and get to work, because we need to pay the bills, keep the lights on. Those are reasons. We all want to be successful, but why? So that we can lead the life of freedom, free from anxiety and depression caused by lack of resources and otherwise. Those are reasons; therefore, the first step is to answer the question, “Why?”.

We must have reasons, not just reasons, enough reasons. It is important to make sure the greatest pull in our lives is towards the future, not the past. The past pulls one back, like gravity pulling us down, face the future. Dreams and goals can become magnets, the stronger the goal, the higher the purpose, the stronger the pull to the future. They will pull you through greatest challenges of life, they pull you through.

We also need to define our greatest dominant mental attitude. This becomes your greatest will. After finding and ensuring your dominant mental attitude, you have to cultivate a burning desire. Burning desire is what keeps you going, this also addresses the habits and actions we ought to take.

Its goals that drive us to take advantage of the spring. The key to this is faith, believe in the things not yet seen. We need to see ourselves in possession of our goals. There are two ways to face the future, that is with Apprehension or Anticipation. By apprehension, one buys another person’s view of the future and runs with it without passing any judgement or objection. With anticipation, one basically sets the future for themselves, they set the tone of what is to come, and they craft all their efforts in anticipation of what is to come, this is also coupled with faith.

Goals are like a magnet, they pull you to their direction, the stronger the purpose, the stronger the will, the harder you work on them, the stronger the pull to their direction. They can also help us get through difficulties. Without goals, it is much easier for one to be just doing life and take things as they come. Such a person is without direction, purpose and will, therefore, it is quite easy for that person to be blown in any direction by different forces that may come their way. That is why we need to have goals, so that we can define our lives, set the direction we want to take and stick to that. We become resolved and live a life of purpose.

Goal setting is the greatest skill one can have in life and has direct impact on how our lives turns out to be. It is much rather paramount that we know how to do this properly.
