Almost every one of my clients has this desire to know their life purpose but does not know where or how to get it. Knowing your life purpose is a transformational experience. If you are struggling with life and career it is worth spending time on this. Unfortunately, without a life purpose anything that you do or keep busy with will not give the sense of fulfilment or contentment which you look for. For a start ask yourself the question, “What do I want in life?� and seek some answers. Below are some tips that will help you to find true purpose and passions in your life to live in a meaningful and happy way
1. Finding your interests This is something that people have some knowledge of. The problem is that it seems almost impossible to pursue the interest given the current responsibilities and career.
