Ben Chai: How trying to find your life purpose can paralyse you
We often hear that knowing your life purpose is immensely beneficial. Once you know your life purpose you are unstoppable. You know exactly what you want and as a result also what you don;t want. You become super focused and all the right people fall into your life.
However you may be in the category of people who don;t know your life purpose. You may have taken online quizzes, been sold expensive courses which allegedly help you know your life purpose, or you may even have been told what your life purpose is - all of which helped you get excited and motivated initially only to fade away leaving a bigger hole inside of you than when you started on this life discovery journey.
Discovering what your life purpose is get be phenomenal. Some people never discover their life purpose until they are in their eighties or older. The beauty is in the journey of discovery so don't fret and don't be paralysed if you never find that life purpose, that reason why. Instead carry on living and discovering, what makes you happy, and what people you resonate most with and one day you will find it but enjoy the journey rather than feeling overwhelmed or paralysed.
