How To Make Your Purpose Find You
Feb 04, 2024
Would you believe me if I told you that your purpose controls every single aspect of your life?
It is actually the only piece that controls all other pieces.
It determines what you do for a living, your future, your friendships, your use of time, and your energy allocation.
Whether you realize it or not, the quality of your life is directly related to the strength of living in your purpose.
A clearly defined purpose might be the only power you’ll ever need in life, but for some reason, you can’t find what your purpose is...
You’ve been searching for it for a while now, but for some reason, you just feel lost...
It’s because you’re doing what everybody does, which is looking for it, instead of letting it find you.
The moment your purpose finds you, everything will change.
I’m going to give you three simple frameworks that will literally make your purpose chase you.
It will be like seeing light for the first time after being in the dark for weeks.
You’ll know exactly what you need to do, and you'll be able to live life to your highest self...
But before we begin, I’d like to ask you something.
Are you in a state where you deserve to know what purpose is?
By seeing your purpose as something that finds you, you need to be in a position where you’re able to receive it because if you’re not when it falls on your lap, you’ll waste it.
Purpose in a Purposeless World
Whether right or wrong, if you do not find your purpose, you will be given one.
You can never truly lack a purpose; the world will force one onto you and use you.
In a world with never-ending distractions pretending to be options, finding your purpose can be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Centuries ago, what you did for a living was typically what your family did.
If my father was a shepherd, chances are I’d probably end up a shepherd.
If my father was a blacksmith, chances are I’d probably end up a blacksmith.
Everything was predetermined and completely depended upon the status quo and your family heritage.
That is until the internet came around.
You are no longer confined by your location, education, family, or gender.
The options are limitless.
However, this abundance does more harm than good. Sales psychology says that the more options a customer is given, the less likely they’ll actually make a decision.
The mind interprets all these options as noise, and that noise leads to analysis paralysis.
Combine analysis paralysis with a never-ending dopamine addiction from all the distractions, whether physical or digital, and purpose gets lost.
The problem is, if you are paralyzed by distractions and options, then your mind, which loves comfort, will choose an option that is comfortable.
Comfort is the death of all evolution. Comfort is the death of ever finding your purpose.
Everyone on the same mental hamster wheel is there because they are comfortable.
Everyone is just walking in the dark, grabbing onto whatever is closest to them.
This is why many fall into the path of the standard 9-5 job, and this becomes their reality for life.
There’s nothing wrong with a 9-5, but there is a problem staying in a 9-5 while feeling like something is missing. What's missing is your purpose.
Few will ever be able to make it beyond the distractions and analysis paralysis that life offers.
Your purpose should never be default but by design.
If you live in a purpose that was given to you, no matter what you do, you will have this inescapable void that something is missing.
This is because you were born already knowing that you can create the reality you want. Self-choosing your purpose is the natural course of how it’s supposed to go.
Inverted Thinking
Warren Buffet's mentor and right-hand man, Charlie Munger (rest in peace Uncle Charlie), gave us the first framework for having your purpose find you.
Inverted thinking is basically just thinking backwards.
Instead of doing things the usual way, you imagine what would happen if everything were flipped or turned around.
For example, the mind thinks “How do I find my purpose?”
Inverted thinking would be like “How do I not find my purpose?”
Where the mind would normally think “How do I live a life of purpose?”
Inverted thinking would be like “How do I live a purposeless life?”
So here’s how to live a purposeless life:
- Never build your character.
- Focus on immediate gratifications in life.
- Focus on pleasures only and forget everything else.
- Distract yourself endlessly from those pleasures and forget everything else.
- Never reach for your highest potential; stay exactly where they want you to be.
- Don’t ever seek to contribute anything worthwhile to your fellow human beings or society.
- Never discipline yourself to achieve whatever you want.
- Spend the rest of your life building somebody else’s dreams.
Inverted thinking is almost funny due to how obvious it is.
The way I see it is, how do I live the most degenerate life I can? Then avoid everything there.
However, as obvious as it is, people still tend to follow down unwanted paths.
By clearly marking the unwanted path, as long as you live your life on a daily basis with it in mind, your purpose will end up coming to you.
Purpose In Soul Choice Analysis
“Find your gift, and then give it away to others.” ~ Pablo Picasso
Your soul chose the life it was going to live here.
The ancients believed that before your soul would incarnate down onto the physical plane, it would choose your life ahead of time, including your purpose.
It would choose your race, your parents, your birth location, and the traumas you would experience as a child.
When I first heard this concept, I was like “Why?”
But once you understand the fundamentals behind consciousness, it all makes sense.
On a fundamental level, we’re all here to learn on earth.
A place where you get different degrees of education is called a university.
A place where you get different degrees of consciousness is the universe.
This is the schooling ground of God. You are here to learn.
The mistake that most people make is to despise their upbringing.
This can be how their parents raised them, where they raised them, and the financial circumstances they were raised in.
When you despise or dislike something, you’re looking at it with tinted glasses and not seeing what’s hidden there the whole time.
So, disliking their circumstances, they go out into the world trying to forget and move from their upbringing without realizing their purpose is hidden in front of their face the whole time.
Our childhoods can be so painful that we want to do nothing more than get away from it.
But the very circumstances in which you were raised are where the seed of your purpose is buried.
If you don’t realize this, you will go out into the world chasing a shadow.
Scientists say that a seed contains all the potential it needs.
The great oak tree is already within the seed; we simply just can’t see it.
Just like how the seed is the origin of all growth, your upbringing is the origin of your purpose.
Think about every limitation you grew up with.
Think about every trauma you experienced growing up. Think about everything you wish your parents did differently.
With all that pain and darkness, there is the potential to be converted into evolution and light.
Go within and analyze the purpose behind your soul’s choice of upbringing.
By inquiring into the purpose of your soul choosing these circumstances, you will uncover what it is you are to overcome and then share that with others to do the same.
Spiritually, we exist for the sake of one another. Service is everything.
Consciousness is forever expanding for self-exploration and self-discovery. Being of service to another connects that.
What was my soul trying to learn from growing up broke?
What was my soul trying to learn from growing up in this particular race?
What was my soul trying to learn from growing up with toxic family members?
What was my soul trying to learn from growing up in this particular part of the world?
Within those answers exists your purpose. This will require deep self-reflection.
Once you have those answers, take those lessons that, eventually if you have not already, you will overcome and then help other souls in those same circumstances transcend them.
Purpose in Pain
Wherever your pain is, you will find your purpose hiding.
Buddha said, “Life is suffering.”
As bleak as that seems, it is the truth.
There will never not be a moment of suffering in your life.
In fact, I would say that much of our devolution and pain in life comes from pretending this is not the case.
Suffering is inevitable; the moment your soul chose to leave the infinite and come down into a world of illusions and limitations, it was bound to suffer.
Suffering, being an inescapable part of life, gives you two choices:
- Don’t choose your suffering and inevitably suffer greatly.
- Choose your suffering and inevitably suffer less.
Choice is what separates you from an animal.
Without the conscious decision, you fall into the animalistic Lower self and become separated from your God-self.
Most people simply walk through life being put into boxes, instead of choosing their box.
If you’re always going to be in a box, you might as well choose it, right?
It comes back to what I said, choose a purpose or you will be given one.
It’s the same thing with suffering; if you’re going to suffer, you might as well suffer at your own choice so it becomes worth it.
The major problem is, people spend most of their lives suffering for things that aren’t worth it to them.
This is where the resentment and discontent for one’s life come from.
By choosing what you suffer for, you’re reclaiming your superpower of choice and integrating your soul’s higher ability, which is free will on a universal level.
So, the final framework comes from mystic psychologist, Carl Jung. Like Buddha, Jung recognized that suffering is an inescapable reality, so he proposed voluntary self-sacrifice.
Whether you realize it or not, you sacrifice something every day.
Whether it’s your time, energy, body, or resources, you sacrifice something.
Negative feelings arise when deep within you don’t feel like you’re getting a good deal.
So, Jung proposed a question that will make your purpose find you now.
What would you suffer for?
Whatever you’re willing to suffer for is exactly where your purpose lies.
When we voluntarily suffer, our mind no longer perceives the suffering as a complete negative but finds the positive within it.
Take a woman giving birth.
Childbirth is known to be traumatic and even dangerous, but when it’s all said and done, the mother looks at the child's face and all of a sudden forgets all suffering; it’s worth it now.
So, find what is worth suffering for, and your purpose will find you.
That being said, refer to these three frameworks, and if your purpose doesn’t find you, then ask the universe for a refund.
