These days there’s a mad rush to be driven, or we may say, to be purpose owned and a life worth living. I whole-heartedly agree, it is better to be function and purpose driven than going in reverse or stuck in neutral. However, why would I be content to be simply purpose driven and not living a life worth living?

I think the real factor the majority of people are not function driven is since they do not know how to recognize their real function, or exactly what purpose implies when it connects to people.

This is the day that was produced for you to start living a life worth living, with a purpose for success like so many others, if you’re reading this article.

The (buzz) word function can be substituted for a number of words, some of which might be: factor, objective, intent, use, concept, goal, function, aim or decision.

In my experience and viewpoint, a purpose is the reason why you exist to fulfill a particular job or a career, that you can satisfy at a particular time and season here on the earth.

The majority of people live out their lives satisfying their delusional fears, and not their true calling, function or purpose.

A Course in Miracles states, “The delusional can be very destructive, for they do not recognize they have condemned themselves.”

Happiness is obvious when you are fulfilling your function, there are numerous other essential VIRTUES that will accompany happiness.

Initially, how do we start to find what our function remains in life?

Men and Women of Purpose

Why are we here?

Like everything else in life, finding your purpose, starts with finding and understanding who you are. Understanding one’s self is a process that many people disregard or choose not to go through.

Comprehending who you are in addition to self-examination and evaluation is the start of determining your function. It is very important you get a mental picture of exactly what you appear like living a life worth living and your purpose now.

(Here’s a related article on why personal development at work will get you the life you want.) 

I believe one of the most powerful forces in the universe is love and another is our capability to choose our own ideas. A single action is derived from a thought.

One of my favorite phrases is, “The me I see, is the me I’ll be.”

In other words, I must begin to see myself as I want to be and not as I am.

As soon as you can psychologically see yourself living your function, those extremely great images and ideas you have about yourself will began to draw the preferred thought patterns and habits, into your life, that will produce exactly what you want.

Finding Your Purpose

Figuring out to have a life worth living is critical if you want to find your purpose. Another crucial area for determining your purpose is finding the spiritual part of you.

And as you continue on the path to living your function, don’t forget to mentally see yourself a living a life worth living, by being of the men and women of purpose.

And, again, I say in this article, is why I urge you to learn to meditate. 

What is it that provides you a burning desire to be of the men and women of purpose?

If you are driven with passion to do certain things and you are actually focused on these things as well as get terrific fulfillment and enjoyment in doing them, then you might have identified your function in life.

A Course in Miracles asks us to contemplate this question: “Little child, would you offer this to your Father?” For if you offer it to yourself, you are offering it to Him.”

In addition to establishing relationships and serving others, you need to likewise master the art of effective interactions and setting boundaries. Learning the best ways to efficiently communicate in all of your relationships will enable you to effectively set goals.

Setting goals will bring and give you the regard to have long, lasting and successful relationships. These very same limits will also assist you in accepting and appreciating the limits of others, and keep your relationships healthy.

It’s about having the laws of attraction on your side.

Objectives and Goals

You are now all set to begin living a life worth living, by re-evaluating and developing your objectives and goals as soon as you are confident in your relationships.  

An objective can be the same as a purpose, but try looking at objectives as a summary of accomplishments to your course.

Let goals be nothing more than categories and sub-categories of the outline you have created.

With this very same overview, now you can start to plan your success of accomplishing these objectives and goals by taking action.

Lastly, discovering your purpose in life and living a life worth living is not a complex ordeal.

It does however require a commitment and commitment on your part to change yourself from within–and bring that light to your external world, a purpose offered into a life worth living.  

Remember, an important principle from A Course in Miracles states, “Vision depends on light. You cannot see in the dark.”

And as you continue on the lighted up path and the many branches in the road you surely will face, don’t forget to always be mentally seeing yourself as of the men and women of purpose.
