You can – with some soul searching and introspection – find your new purpose. While people truly are your real purpose in life, sometimes you need an action item to help define how you fulfill those in your life.
There are a lot of ways to show those you care about – your family and friends – that they are your purpose. And you can find your new purpose through many different actions – both big and small.
One of the best – and unless you’re me – easiest ways to show people you care is through food. I admit it. I can’t cook. But since I have stopped working, I try to make dinner on the nights that everyone is home. It’s rare that all of our schedules align and we’re able to all sit down together. But it’s important that we have that time together. To learn what is happening in all of our lives, talk through our obstacles, celebrate our successes, to come together as a family. Of course we always have a supply of frozen pizzas on hand for when my cooking is completely unedible!
One of the best places to find your new purpose is through your furry friends. Every afternoon, I take my dog for a walk. It’s the best part of her day. She starts letting me know she is ready about an hour before it’s time to go. (We have to wait until later in the afternoon once it has cooled off so she doesn’t burn her paws. As we get closer to summer, please be aware of the temperature and remember that the sidewalks are often much hotter than the air.) The excitement she exudes when it is time for us to leave lets me know just how important this is for her. Plus, I get in some exercise!
What can you do to find your new purpose in life? What can you do for others that will bring a smile to their faces? How can you find new purpose by embracing what is truly your purpose in life?
