Have you ever wondered why Purpose and meaning in life are the ingredients based on which your WELLBEING AND HAPPINESS IS BUILT? The clarity in what adds context and meaning to your life can also help us design our life for phenomenal success.
Whether you are a Leader -An entrepreneur or a Professional, understanding the REASON for which you do things can be more important than BEING IN ACTION.
Recently during one of my online leadership workshops, I was asked this question on how one can find meaning and create a legacy in this fast-paced world around us, where most of the time we are busy delivering our responsibilities and earning a livelihood. We all go through this crossroads of trying to find our real meaning in life, and HONESTLY, we need to revisit this time to time…as with time our goals also need to be reconfigured. Thus setting a long-term maybe 5-year vision and short-term yearly goals can bring in a lot of focus in our day-to-day life.
6 Ways you can identify your MEANING IN LIFE –
- Introspect -Finding meaning doesn’t have to be a path-breaking exercise, a sabbatical, or going to the monastery. Simple introspection can help you get started.
- Knowing Your Strengths – is not an easy task. Sometimes are our talents are better experienced by people around us…Our inner circle of friends and family often share our natural abilities better than we do. Maybe the things that make us feel centered are already there, but we’re not seeing them because we’re too busy or stressed. Thus it is worth spending some time to create evidence for this.
- Dream Destination and Enjoy Journey -We all dream of the final destination and accomplishment…however the journey is what makes it a sweet experience. The journey is what makes us a persona and equally important
- Legacy you can Create-What is it that you want to be remembered for. Life is too short to be taken for granted. We all want to contribute to our fellow beings. Thinking about what you would like to have inscribed on your tombstone can surely inspire us and get us out of our complacency.
- Creating your Zone -Being in a Zone or a state of flow is all about what makes you truly satisfied with the process. Make an effort to be conscious of what brings you joy, and think about how you can turn those things into habits. Positive habits are important when learning how to find meaning in life because they help us feel fulfilled.
- Learning Enthusiast -Things around us are changing every day. So it is essential to keep learning about the trends of our times. Learning something new keeps us engaged and can open our eyes to skills or talents we didn’t know we had.
