Special Edition: How to Discover Your Life's Purpose with Robert Stuberg

Why Purpose Matters

At some point in life, we all ask the same questions:

  • What is the meaning of my life?
  • What is the purpose of my existence?

While answers vary widely, that doesn’t mean answers don't exist. In fact, your purpose is already within you. It simply needs to be recognized and embraced.

A clearly defined purpose acts as the anchor for your goals, your passions, and your daily actions. Without it, you're likely to feel aimless, disorganized, or easily influenced by others.

What Is Life Purpose?

Purpose is the reason behind your actions—a guiding principle rather than a specific action plan. It brings clarity and coherence to your goals. Your purpose could stem from:

  • A deep-seated passion
  • A natural talent
  • A grand ideal
  • A need to give back

Importantly, your purpose is unique to you. While it might share elements with others, the way you express it is entirely personal.

Common Misconceptions

  • Purpose is not your job or societal role. Being a banker, artist, or engineer is a role, not a purpose.
  • Your purpose is not someone else’s. Avoid adopting goals or purposes that belong to others.
  • You don't need a perfect purpose. The pursuit of perfection often leads to paralysis. Start with what feels right and refine it over time.

How to Discover Your Purpose

If you haven't yet identified your purpose, consider this approach:

  • Ask yourself, *"What am I deeply drawn to?"
  • Evaluate your unique blend of talents, values, experiences, and needs.
  • Acknowledge the emotional needs we all share: love, contribution, growth, significance, and connection.
  • Trust your subconscious. Often, the answer is already known internally and revealed through reflection.

Your Life's Purpose and Fulfillment

Living a purpose-driven life brings structure, fulfillment, and joy. It becomes the backdrop against which your accomplishments gain meaning. And unlike fleeting goals, purpose is sustainable.

You can even have more than one purpose, provided they align. And yes, your purpose may evolve over time—what matters is that you choose to live with intentionality.

Creating Your Personal Mission Statement

To integrate your purpose into daily life, consider creating a personal mission statement. This is a short sentence that combines your purpose with a broad action plan.

Examples:

  • To help end illiteracy by volunteering my time and energy to promote reading skills.
  • To inspire others through music by becoming the best violinist I can be.
  • To improve the environment through responsible and ethical business practices.

Mission statements are not for show. You don’t need to display them publicly. Their value is in personal alignment and internal guidance.

Final Thoughts

Your life’s purpose is the fuel for your dreams, the rationale behind your goals, and the measure of your fulfillment. By acknowledging your internal compass and crafting a personal mission statement, you set yourself on a path to intentional living.

Remember:

  • Your purpose is already within you.
  • Don’t wait for perfect clarity—take action and refine as you go.
  • Create a personal mission statement as a foundation for your destiny.

No destiny is complete without a purpose. Start discovering yours today.
