I first embarked on the journey to find my purpose in life back when I was in college. I majored in Chinese history but in my senior year, looking for an “easy A,” I took an elective course called Social Relations 10.
In that class, we talked about our feelings and got to know each other on a deeper level than I had with anyone else I’d ever known. I discovered that I loved learning about human behavior and realized that this was what I wanted to do with my life.
As I delved deeper into the study of psychology and personal development over the next few decades, my purpose became increasingly clear. I understood that, for me, my purpose in life is to inspire and empower people to live their highest vision in the context of love and joy.
Since then, my whole life has been developed around that goal. Nothing gives me greater joy and fulfillment than when my thoughts and actions are fully aligned with my purpose.
So many people ask me, “What is life purpose?” and want to know more about how to find your passion, or how to figure out what you want to do in life. Today I’d like to teach you why it’s important to find your purpose in life and help you do just that!

Why is it so important to find your purpose in life?

Not only that – everyone around you benefits, too. When you act in alignment with your true life purpose, all of your actions automatically serve others.

To empower small business owners to systematize for easier revenue generation and more freedom in their lives. (Small-business consultant and author) To inspire children to have faith in themselves and believe in their natural genius. (Educator) To create a world in which people are living ecologically sustainable, spiritually fulfilling, and socially just lives. (Environmentalist and social activist) To help women entrepreneurs find their voice and use it to grow successful businesses that give them joy, meaning, and abundance (Speaking coach)
Without a clear sense of purpose, it’s easy to get sidetracked on your life’s journey. Once you know what your purpose in life is, you can organize all of your activities around it so everything you do is an expression of that purpose.
Find Your Passion
What is your purpose? And what are you most passionate about?
If you want to know how to figure out what you want to do in life, know that finding the answers to these questions is a journey, not a destination.
