3 Powerful Ways To Start Living An Inspired Life

Every one of us has a passion to live and a purpose to fulfil, whether we realise it or not. Whether it is fulfilled within our career, volunteer work, parenting, creating social change, or something else. You, too, have a brilliant purpose, and it’s about time you found it.

This article aims to show you 3 powerful ways to reconnect with your passion and purpose and find out what it is that you are truly inspired by.

A Personal Story to Begin With

I didn’t spend five years of my life to get a University degree in Educational Teaching in Germany so that I would end up feeling deeply frustrated and disillusioned with life very soon after starting my career. But that is how my life turned out to be just a few years down the track.

I didn’t understand what was happening to me at that time, as there was no obvious reason to complain about. However, I ended up being completely discontent, unfulfilled and unhappy. Nothing seemed to make real sense anymore.

With each year that passed, I became more and more desperate to change my life. Yet, for a long time, I didn’t know how, as I was lacking clarity and direction, and constantly running in circles. In short, I was stuck.

So I embarked on my quest to find my passion and purpose, but it wasn’t until I found a simple, yet powerful tool that allowed me to reconnect with my deep inner yearnings and long forgotten dreams. It was only then that I was able to move forward and follow my path.

Why Passion and Purpose Are So Important

Knowing your passion and purpose and having a strong personal vision is the starting point of creating an inspired life for yourself. It is the DRIVING FORCE that not only inspires you to move towards your aspired dreams and goals, it also empowers you to overcome obstacles along the way.

In the following, you will find 3 different ways that can help you explore what it is you are truly passionate about.

3 Ways to Discover Your Passion and Purpose

Spend a few minutes of quality time each day with a pen and paper, allowing yourself to process your thoughts and ideas. Make sure you are not interrupted during this time. Write down what comes to mind. Ideas flow more freely when we write without forcing them. New inspiration may appear unexpectedly, and it becomes easier to connect the dots.

1. Find Out What It Is You Are Truly Passionate About

Identify the things you love doing – What is it that makes you smile, gets you excited, and makes you jump out of bed every single morning, as you can’t wait to continue doing what you love. Only pick the things that truly excite you. The power lies in the realisation of what brings you happiness and joy. Everything else will NOT lead you to find your passion.

2. What Makes You Uniquely You?

Own your uniqueness – We are here for a reason. No one else has your unique blend of talents, wisdom, strengths, skills, and creativity. We all have something great to offer, and learning to accept and own what makes you unique is crucial to sharing your gifts with the world. Make a list of all your talents, skills and strengths and discover what makes you uniquely you.

3. Identify Your Dreams

Take time to explore your dreams – Dreams represent our deep inner yearnings, the things and experiences that make us feel alive. Ask yourself: In your ideal world, what would your life look like? Think about all areas of your life. Explore the world you dream about and discover the life you truly want. Write from your heart, not with your head and let your emotions guide you.

Come back to the above exercises on a regular basis and keep adding ideas. Connecting with your passion and purpose is a process and takes time.

Enjoy the process.
