How to find your purpose?

What is needed for happiness?

Have you ever thought about why most people live lives they don’t enjoy? And what is needed for people to be happy?

When I was searching for answers to these questions, a thought came to me like a revelation: for being happy and able to make others happy, a person should discover his abilities and use them for good.

Perhaps for many people, the beginning of the search for their path starts with thoughts like "Who am I?" and "What is the aim of my life?" In my effort to understand more, I decided to listen to speeches of outstanding and successful people. Surely, they must be happy because they have reached the heights of fame. The more people I listened to, the more often I heard that they had found their purpose.

I began noticing that if people recognized their purpose, decided to act accordingly and stayed true to their choice, over time, they would achieve mastery in their desired goals, have a more joyful and successful life in comparison with those who do not strive to improve in their chosen fields.

What is life purpose connected with?

When I was finishing school, I had to choose what to do in my life. I was interested in various "psychological tests" to determine my qualities and which professions could be best for me. I talked to different people and tried to understand how they found their path.

After graduating from university, I came across the book "The Soul" by Janis Kalns. When I started reading it, I immediately felt how different this book was! I have never read such a wonderful book before.

I had a great revelation that the soul is a unique being living within me, with its own path of development, but I had no idea what it was striving for. If the soul is what people often name as intuition, my soul helped me during the toughest times of my life. How can I cooperate with it? How can I understand in which direction it is trying to guide me?

I continued reading the book. My thoughts were captivated by the writer's stories. In them, I found confirmation of things I had learned before. What was written in the book helped me understand more and I began to perceive the world around me in a different way.

I understood that a person's happiness and success depend on how much he or she uses what was instilled before birth and how valuable a person's actions are for the well-being of others.

Purpose is a set of tasks established before something. Even before the moment of a child's birth, the soul already has a purpose — the tasks which a person should accomplish in collaboration with his soul during his life. By acting in these specific directions, a person could achieve success, and it’s connected with the success of others.

“We cannot live for ourselves alone. Our lives are connected by a thousand invisible threads, and along these sympathetic fibers, our actions run as causes and return to us as results.” (Herman Melville)

Only by understanding your soul, by collaborating with your soul and working with like-minded people, can you reach significant heights in your development.

I wish you to connect with your soul and discover the meaningful purpose that the Creator has predetermined for you!

What do talents and a person's purpose have in common?

Every person has a soul — a unique being with its own path of development even before the moment of incarnation into this individual. The soul is often named as intuition, and it helps during the most difficult times in life. It’s crucial to understand who it is and what it strives for.

From birth, a person has inherent talents. It is said that these remarkable natural abilities are like innate gifts given to each individual. A three-year-old sits at a piano and his small fingers effortlessly play a challenging piece of music in a grand concert hall. There are no musicians in his family. He has never had music lessons, yet he plays more impressively than someone who has studied at a music school for years. He plays from the soul.

Talents are information of great value which is contained in the soul. Throughout past incarnations and while preparing for the next one, the soul is constantly learning. In the proper circumstances, it guides a person in these themes, and he shows extraordinary abilities.

Talents are connected to a person's purpose — tasks that the person has to complete in cooperation with his soul.

Think back to your childhood. What did you love doing? What did you dream about?

Childhood dreams are often closely connected to the tasks and purpose of the soul. Some people will easily reminisce about their deepest desires, while others may need time. 

How can you cooperate with your soul? How can you understand where it is guiding you? What is your purpose on Earth? Set aside time to sit comfortably in a quiet place. Stop your thoughts, and take a few slow breaths in and out. Ask one question that interests you. Write down the first thoughts which appear in your mind. It will be the answer to your question.

For some reason, didn’t you manage to pursue what fascinated you in childhood? It’s never too late to begin! Allow your soul to guide you. Unleash your talents — and it will change your life for better.
