Find your purpose...

How to be happy: Tips for cultivating contentment - :D


Find Your Purpose


People who strive to meet a goal or fulfill a mission - - whether it's growing a
garden, caring for children or finding one's spirituality - - are happier than those who
don't have such aspirations.

Having a goal provides a sense of purpose, bolsters self-esteem and brings people
together. What your goal is doesn't matter as much as whether the process of
working toward it is meaningful to you.

Try to align your daily activities with the long-term meaning and purpose of your life.
Research studies suggest that relationships provide the strongest meaning and
purpose to your life. So cultivate meaningful relationships.

Are you engaged in something you love ? If not, ask yourself these questions to
discover how you can find your purpose:

* What excites and energizes me ?
* What are my proudest achievements ?
* How do I want others to remember me ?

I recently attended a workshop about Advocacy.
The second half of the workshop is next week.
It was a great presentation and the "teacher"
was an excellent speaker. I have been trying to
think for some time what I could be an advocate
for. What am I passionate about ? I hope that
after I attend the second half of the class I
will have more insight on how to actually
start the process once I have decided what I
am really passionate about. I would like to be
involved in something directly in my community,
not something on a big, national level.
I don't just want to give money to some Post Office
Box somewhere. I want to become personally
involved and invested. Does anyone out there
have something they are passionate about
and that they are involved in ? I would love to
hear your stories. :)
