Giving Purpose to life

Giving Purpose to life

All human purposes are meant to better human life in some manner. For decades, psychologists have studied how long-term, meaningful goals develop over the span of our lives. The goals that foster a sense of purpose are ones that can potentially change the lives of other people, like launching an organization, researching disease, or teaching kids to read.
Indeed, a sense of purpose appears to have evolved in humans so that we can accomplish big things together—which may be why it’s associated with better physical and mental health. Purpose is adaptive, in an evolutionary sense. It helps both individuals and the species to survive.
Many seem to believe that purpose arises from your special gifts and sets you apart from other people—but that’s only part of the truth. It also grows from our connection to others, which is why a crisis of purpose is often a symptom of isolation. Once you find your path, you’ll almost certainly find others traveling along with you, hoping to reach the same destination—a community.
Here are some ways to overcome isolation and discover ones purpose in life.
Reading connects us to people we’ll never know, across time and space—an experience that research says is linked to a sense of meaning and purpose. “Meaning” and “purpose” are related but separate social-scientific constructs. Purpose is a part of meaning; meaning is a much broader concept that usually also includes value, efficacy, and self-worth.
Certain emotions and behaviors that promote health and well-being can also foster a sense of purpose—specifically, awe, gratitude, and altruism. Awe is the element of surprise and joy at seeing new things Gratitude is developing in a sense. Gratitude is the quality of being thankful; readiness to show appreciation for and to return kindness. Altruism disinterested and selfless concern for the well-being of others.
Listen to what other people appreciate about you. Hearing from others what are the positives in you make you realize and enhance those qualities in you that others like. This in turn will make you more of a success along with showing you the purpose of your life.
Live your life to fulfil the purpose. It makes sense.
