You may find yourself hitting a mental or emotional block in this process. Finding your life purpose can help you to succeed with greater focus and clarity every day of your life. There are many ways to find and develop your life purpose. Below are the lists of questions to help you on this path of discovery by Tina Su.

2. What are your favorite things to do in the past? What about now?

3. What activities make you lose track of time?

4. What makes you feel great about yourself?

8. If you had to teach something, what would you teach?

9. What would you regret not fully doing, being or having in your life?

10. You are now 90 years old, sitting on a rocking chair outside your porch; you can feel the spring breeze gently brushing against your face. You are blissful and happy, and are pleased with the wonderful life you've been blessed with. Looking back at your life and all that you've achieved and acquired, all the relationships you've developed; what matters to you most? List them out

11. What were some challenges, difficulties and hardships you've overcome or are in the process of overcoming? How did you do it?

12. What causes do you strongly believe in? Connect with?

13. If you could get a message across to a large group of people. Who would those people be? What would your message be?

It's important to do this alone and with no interruptions. When you find your own unique answer to the question of why you're here, you will feel it vibrate with you deeply. The words will seem to have a special energy to you, and you will feel that energy whenever you read them. Discovering your purpose is the easy part. The hard part is keeping it with you on a daily basis and working on yourself to the point where you become that purpose. Cited: Steve Pavlina, 2011.
