How to Find and Pursue Your Purpose in Life
Goals are the only motivation in life, it is your inner stimulus to wake up from your slumber
Do you know why humans always love beginnings? Because it carries a special charm resulting from optimistic expectations, a spirit of adventure and feelings of curiosity, and so on until people reach the middle of the road, and here their resolve and frustration infiltrates them if they do not reap the fruits of their hard work. How to seek it; Simply because I encountered that obstacle before my journey in search of my goal and while pursuing it, and I will tell you in detail about that. Let's put our thoughts first and start with the obstacles that prevent you from knowing your goal.
1- Temporary enthusiasm
The first obstacle that will stand in your way is to open your agenda and set your goals, and after a week tear the page and reformulate your goals in another way, or you may add to them other goals, this is what really happened to me, perhaps because I was new to writing goals so I was writing everything that crossed my mind without being concerned with my true desire In achieving this goal and perhaps I wrote it because it was looking bright, at the time I was ignorant of where to start and what future I want; So I decided to get to know the ground on which I am standing in order to understand how I would write my goals.
2- The starting point
For me it was the most difficult task before setting my goal in life is my starting point, where am I now? I already got my university degree .. so where do I start? How do I start my career in the world of journalism? How do I get a fixed salary to cover my expenses and the budget for spending on my journalistic work; That is why I decided to look for work in journalism - even if it was free of charge - and I applied for another job to get a steady income. This is why I advise my dear reader to know exactly where you are right now in this moment, and what is your next step on your road map towards the goal.
3- Know yourself well
If you do not know yourself well, there is no need to set goals in the first place, I know that my style is tough, but that is the truth. Intelligence is higher than all other types, which are linguistic and social, and for this reason I advise you to get to know yourself first before embarking on writing goals for your life.
4- Ride the wheel of time
At that point, I want you to imagine yourselves 30 or 50 years from now. Ask yourselves what we wanted to do in our youth? What are the things that we did not do and regret now? At that moment, you will be sure of what you want to achieve in life, and when you return in time to the present moment, start immediately to achieve it, regardless of the difficulties and obstacles that await you.
5- Vision
Can you go somewhere without the location coordinates? of course not; That is why most of us cannot reach our goal because they do not have vision, and the vision here is an imaginary scene of what will happen in the future without exaggeration or underestimation. After my major in the field of journalism, in (2009 AD) I wrote on the door of my wardrobe “writer Heba Morgan”, and on (13) January (2010) I published my first headline in my name on the front page of a newspaper, and for this reason you should see your dream after it is fulfilled In order to understand exactly the steps you must follow to reach the goal.
6- Good planning
I think we've reached a point after writing the goals; So good planning is the only thing on which to successfully accomplish your goals, and remember that good planning is related to the extent of clarity of the goals in terms of their timeliness, objectivity, viability ... etc. Let us imagine that a beginner reader decides to read (2000) books within (8) months only, Will he be able to succeed in implementing this goal? Of course not, unless he went to an exile where no living creature exists, then he will have enough time to finish his entire library.
7- Continuity
There is no doubt that achieving the goals is closely related to continuity, so we must start with our eyes not leaving the end point in order to ensure that we move at the same pace towards the goal and not stop for a moment; Because taking a breather in the middle of the road will weaken our enthusiasm.
8- Comfort zone
In my world the comfort zone has been called "isolation"; And these are my worst habits ever, because as soon as I enter this world, I lose my enthusiasm for writing and my passion for writing, and I sit down for days doing nothing fruitful except praying and only reading the Qur’an. Therefore, you should completely avoid any psychological condition that might dampen your enthusiasm, frustrate you, or convince you to stop trying.
9- Knowledge and work
Goals, to me, are hard work and a renewed river of science; Because life - whether we like it or not - will not hesitate for a moment to throw obstacles before us to block our path towards the goal; If we do not fortify ourselves with science and hard work, we will not be able to catch up.
10- Diversity of goals (time range)
Watch out for the case of “I achieved all my dreams and goals”, trust me, you will never want to reach that stage; Because it will make you feel that you are suddenly old; So diversify your goals and categorize them according to short, medium and long term terms; The goals that have already been achieved will make you feel the euphoria of success and achievement, while your strategic goals will increase your enthusiasm and curiosity for what the future holds for you.
Finally
I want to ask you a question: What is the thing that keeps you waking up every day? Do you wake up with happiness and passion, or do you wake up forced and wanting not to come morning? If your morning is bright then congratulations, you are on the right path, and you have a goal that brings you pleasure and happiness. But if you receive your day in a bad mood every day in that case, you should take - immediately - leave from family, work and friends and sit with yourselves a frank session, and ask her what she likes, what is the life you desire, and the personality that you want to be in the future, and start getting to know Gradually, you should not return to your old life until after you find something that will make you wait in the morning every day in order to reach and achieve it.
