During catastrophes, epidemics, wars, the goal of a person's life is to win, survive, survive. But in a peaceful, calm time, finding the purpose of life is much more difficult. Surrounded by all kinds of benefits of civilization, provided with everything necessary, a person does not know what to devote his life to.
Instructions
Step 1
If you are a yesterday graduate who has just entered adulthood, then it is especially difficult for you to determine the purpose of life. In modern society, the goal of life is closely associated with professional activity and material wealth. This can be reflected in the scheme "Education - career - well-being (apartments, car, dacha, yacht, etc.)". This scenario will not lead you to spiritual growth and self-realization. If you really want to live your life for a reason, then modify this scheme as follows: "Purpose is activity (well-being here is a consequence of activity)."
Step 2
Determination of the goal in this case is primary. Don't be afraid to set big goals. Henry Ford has formulated a global goal of “An affordable car for every American”. And with only one model in only one color, he achieved tremendous success and immortalized his name in the history of world business.
Step 3
Do not think that everything has already been invented before you, and the possibilities to achieve such outstanding results have long been exhausted. If you have enough enthusiasm and knowledge, then you will succeed.
Step 4
If you are not ready for such a large-scale action, then you can choose an equally noble, but more modest goal - to achieve the well-being of your family. Take a look at your parents, grandparents. They limited themselves in many ways so that you grow up a happy and carefree child. By choosing the goal of your life to care and help your family, you will succeed in your profession, because you will be guided by the strongest feeling - the feeling of love.
Step 5
If you cannot decide which type of activity to choose to achieve your goal, then remember two important points. First, choose a profession according to your abilities, not public prestige. To know for sure what kind of activity you have natural data, consult a psychologist.
And secondly, remember that every job has its own difficulties, sometimes very serious. Suddenly surging difficulties are not a reason to change the field of activity, but an opportunity to prove to yourself that you can do a lot. After all, you are fighting not for base, ambitious interests, but for the well-being of the people most dear to you.
