What Do You Want In Life?
Did you know the average person makes 35,000 decisions per day? Every decision demands a fraction of your mental energy. It’s no wonder why life’s biggest decisions feel so exhausting. Figuring out what you want in life is important because it gives you purpose, can influence your career path, and makes life worth living. Here are some questions to ask yourself, to help you figure out what you want in life:
1). What makes you happy? Everyone wants to be happy, but happiness isn’t just feeling joyful. It’s also feeling needed, having a purpose, and maintaining that happiness amid uncertainty. Make a list of everything that makes you happy is a good place to start.
2). What are your needs? Sometimes, our wants and needs go hand in hand. Other times, what we need isn’t what we want.
3). What are your personal values? Your core values are principles that guide you through life.
4). What gives you purpose? When we do what fulfills us, that energy positively impacts others as well.
5). What activities put you in a flow state? In this case, “flow” refers to the joy we feel when we’re right where we're meant to be.
6). What would you do if there were no limits? As you think about that, here are some other questions to ask yourself:
• What would you rather be doing?
• Who do you want to spend your time with?
• Who do you want to help?
• Are you in the right location to do what you want to do?
• What are you willing to sacrifice to achieve your goal(s)?
• How do you define a “good life?”
7). Who do you admire? Do you look up to someone? Think about whether you want to be like this person.
8). How do you envision the patterns of your life? A holistic approach to a subject means looking not only at problem areas but also at the environment problems exist in.
9). What don’t you want? Knowing what to avoid can empower you to make better decisions.
10). What are your greatest accomplishments in life? Did you feel pride in your abilities after this happened? Is there a way for you to live a life that repeats those feelings?
11). Are you willing to work hard? It won’t be easy, but it will be worth it. Focus on moving toward your goals, regardless of any setbacks that may come your way.
Go out there and be great, because great is calling you and great is calling me. Be blessed and have an amazing day on purpose!
