How to find your life purpose?<\/strong><\/h1>\n

At work, some are doing well financially but the majorities are struggling to make ends meet. In our personal lives, many are subjected to an identity crisis. We suffer from a great void<\/a>; we feel a lack of purpose and emptiness. Sometimes, it seems that going out of bed in the morning is the last thing we want to do.<\/p>\n

Indeed, most of us feel that we must get out of bed, not by choice but by obligation. We feel like a victim, as if we are just undergoing the external events.<\/p>\n

If we live like this, feeling tired all the time, there might be a lack of clarity, a sign that your life is not aligned with your ikigai.<\/p>\n

The good news is that it is possible to find meaning in our life and discover why we are here. On top of that, it is possible to live the life of our dreams, to wake up with determination and sleep with satisfaction.<\/p>\n

\u201cWithout a conscious life-purpose we are totally lost, drifting, adapting to events rather than creating events. Without knowing our life-purpose we live a weakened, impotent existence, perhaps eventually becoming even sexually impotent, or prone to mechanical and disinterested sex.\u201d David Deida<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

What is ikigai?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Ikigai is a combination of the Japanese words \u201cki\u201d which means \u201clife\u201d, and \u201ckai\u201d meaning \u201cworthy\u201d, \u201cuseful\u201d, \u201cresult\u201d, \u201cworth\u201d.<\/p>\n

As an analogy, your ikigai is like a compass; a burning reason that helps you get up in the morning. It is an activity around which you organize your life.<\/p>\n

Our ikigai is expressed by an activity and way of life. By exercising this activity we find meaning and experience our completest fulfillment.<\/p>\n

We can use Ikigai and life purpose interchangeably. It is a mix of what we love doing, of what we are good at and of what could benefit other people.<\/p>\n

The happiest people in the world don\u2019t do their work for themselves but for the benefit of others. These people feel passionate and fulfilled about what they do.<\/p>\n

Understand the law of the Dharma<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Everyone has a mission in life, a unique gift or talent that they can put in service to others.<\/p>\n

In his book \u201cThe seven spiritual laws of success<\/a>\u201d, Deepak Chopra<\/a> maintains that we are spiritual beings who took a physical form. We took a human form for a specific reason.<\/p>\n

According to the Dharma, we are all equipped with special talents. When uncovered and cultivated, our unique talents bring value to us and everyone around us: ourselves, our close family, our community and even the world.<\/p>\n

You possess special gifts that no one else has or at least that you express better than anyone else. Think about singers, actors or motivational speakers. We always feel that they excel in what they do and we just benefit from it.<\/p>\n
