Ask yourself these 3 questions to find your purpose

Ask yourself these three questions to find your purpose:

1. What am I good at
2. What am I curious about
3. How can I give back

1. What am I good at? If this is a difficult question for you, think about what comes easily to you. You might not realize what you’re good at becuase it comes so easily. Look around, you’ll see things that other people struggle with that you don’t have to work as hard for.

My strengths: consistency, discipline, determination, energy, hard work.

2. What am I curious about? When you have a free moment to steal away, what do you do? When you get to relax, what do you do? How do you love to spend your time when you should be doing something else?

My interests: Reading. If I had no responsibilities, I would sit on the couch morning, noon and night and read books.

Learning. I love to learn so much that I have to check myself to make sure I’m not just reading interesting things, but that I focus on learning things that will get me to my goal.

Science. I love the human sciences, I buy anatomy books and read them cover to cover. I follow neuroscientists on social media.

Business. I love the business world more than I ever thought I would.

Food and health. I love nutrition books and learning what foods are going to give me a sound mind in a strong body.

3. How can I give back? Your interests and strengths will point to how you can give back. Get creative, if you can’t give money, give time, teach, write, build.

How can I share my strengths and interests: Share what I’ve learned, I could be a teacher, or go into the medical profession. I could enroll in teach for America or Doctors without borders. I could open a wellness center that treats people and teaches them about healthy foods. We could have a farm there with organic gardens. We could teach people how to build systems that replinish and clean the earth instead of robbing it of every resource.

At the intersection of your strengths, your interests and how you can give back is the answer to where you should devote your precious time and attention.

All the best,

Rachel
