Hey world people!
Welcome to another edition of the TalesBearer.
I am inspired to write about this topic as this is one topic i enjoy so much. What does it take to live a purposeful life? What is purposeful living? How rewarding is it?
Well...You are welcome to interpret it differently, to interpret it the way you best understands it.
Personally, I will say purposeful living or living purposefully is a way of being intentional about your way of life. When you do something on purpose, it means you've thought about it, you've pondered on it, weighed it and decided to try it out or act it. Living purposefully is one of the most enjoyable experiences you can enjoy in life. I categorize it as the real life experience. When you are living purposefully, you can confidently say you are living your best life.
You might be wondering how to achieve purposeful living but trust me, it is nothing to worry about. All you need do is be yourself really!. You have to first of all be convinced that you want to live for YOU! You have to be ready to carve out your own path and be ready to follow through come what may. Living purposefully is a very serious business because if you are not convinced about the path you chose for yourself , you are likely to fall off purpose when turbulent arises.
Study yourself and note those things that you enjoy doing or passionate about. Things that drives you or inspires you. Having done that, Kindly pursue them and try as much as possible to live in accordance with all the factors you've highlighted. Let your daily activities revolves around the kind of life you've carved out for yourself. The most important thing is asking yourself this question each day " What is my purpose in life? " "What am i leaving for?" " Why am i here?" "What am i doing here?" etc. If you can answer these questions each time then you can be sure that you are doing well.
Purposeful living shapes every aspect of your life; ranging from the company you keep, where you go, what you do etc. If any or all of these is not in alignment with the kind of life you've carved out for yourself then you need to re-trace your steps. Be intentional about the friends you keep. In fact choose your friends don't just let them choose you. Be disciplined- stand by your principle. Constantly pursue your dreams till you get it right. Even if it seems like things are not working out as planned or you are scared about how to achieve your aims, Just keep keeping on. You might experience a little fall here and there but that shouldn't bring you down totally. Failure only arises when you have no result to learn from i.e you didn't even try!
The best way to live is being aware of the reason you are alive. Carving a niche for yourself out there and working towards achieving your purpose on a daily basis. Is it rewarding? Yes! It is rewarding because it gives you a sense of accomplishment. It makes you feel like you are living your life and that you are getting it right despite the mistakes, the falls, the fears, the turbulent etc...
Learning, Personal growths and personal developments are key components of living purposefully. Fulfilling your purpose in life requires that you learn, develop and grow to meet the challenges that lies ahead of you.
I wish you luck as you begin to live purposefully.
Thank you for reading.
