However, in most cases, I see that they are unsatisfied with life. They yearn for something more.<\/p>\n<p>Like a purpose.<\/p>\n<p>But how do you awake to you&#8217;re life&#8217;s purpose? It&#8217;s really not as easy as it sounds. But I recommend taking two steps back and finding some time alone to reflect.<\/p>\n<p>Ideally, your life purpose aligns with 3 main\u00a0areas:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>You&#8217;re skills<\/li>\n<li>You&#8217;re core values<\/li>\n<li>What you like doing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Maybe you went to school for architecture and you know buildings inside and out &#8211; This would be your skills. And say you care about the environment\u00a0&#8211; well then that is your core value.<\/p>\n<p>For the third area, I usually ask the question: If money wasn&#8217;t an issue, what would you focus your time on? Where would you spend your day? If you said drawing then well the answer would be clear: You focus on designing buildings that are green and eco-friendly.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes, the answer is not as crystal clear. I know for me it wasn&#8217;t. In this case, I would recommend that you still take a step back from the daily grid. Maybe go for a hike in the mountains, or grab an espresso latte in a cafe and brainstorm.<\/p>\n<p>Just keep writing ideas to yourself til you find something that resonates with you. Then try it. If possible, don&#8217;t quit your current role quite yet &#8211; try it on the weekends or after work. You can always pivot if you find out that it is not what you want to do.<\/p>\n<p>The goal here should be to not idle in complacency\u00a0but instead continuously move towards a more fulfilling life. Take steps each day to do some self discovery and answer those questions above. I believe it&#8217;s the most important thing you should be doing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Many of the people we know go about their life with no purpose or goals.
