When you know your true purpose you are a step closer to being in touch with the real you. Getting to know the real you is the biggest gift you can bestow upon yourself.

I have said many a time, that you are with yourself 24 hours every day for the rest of your life.

It is the one investment that will brings you balance, happiness, peace and success.

I am going to share with you a simple exercise you can do right now to find out about your true purpose.

So, get a pen and paper and go somewhere quiet where you will not be disturbed. Now, write down what comes into your mind when you consider your true life purpose. Be spontaneous. Write down the first thing that comes to your mind. Do not worry, if it does not seem to make sense. The important thing is to get into the flow of the exercise.

Keep thinking about your true purpose and keep writing. You may find after 10 minutes or so, that you are repeating words or phrases, or that they are very similar. That is okay. Keep going.

Do you notice emotions coming up when you write a certain phrase? Great, because now you have an important clue. As you keep on writing you will probably find that a certain word or phrase triggers your emotions regularly. Maybe one word or phrase will do this more than another. When you have tears in your eyes as you are writing, you have found your true purpose.

The exercise will probably take you around 20 minutes or so to complete. You will have at least 50 words or phrase, probably more likely closer to 100 written down by the time you are finished.

Once you have found your true purpose write it don on a single sheet of paper and place it where you can see it every day. In the coming days, weeks or even months you will gain valuable insights about the things you need to do to fulfil your true purpose. This could be anything. From learning new techniques to further your personal development to changing your attitude to life, your career, family and friends. Where ever this new knowledge leads you, just notice how you gradually feel happier, more balanced and at peace with yourself.

These desirable qualities are gifts that will sustain you even through the most difficult of times.
