Three Keys to Finding Your Purpose

It’s a question people have been asking since the beginning of time, “What am I here for?”

If you’ve found yourself asking this question, you’re not alone. Everyone has wondered from time to time what their purpose is and how they can tap into their purpose to live out their full potential. But it can be hard to know exactly how to figure that out. 

That’s why we’re sharing three keys to finding your purpose. Just follow these three simple steps and you’ll be on your way to living a more meaningful life.

Remember Your Childhood Passions

When you’re a kid, nothing matters except for having fun. As a kid, you have zero cares in the world and you’re able to tap into the truest version of yourself. 

Did you love to draw when you were little? To dig in the dirt? To climb trees with your brothers? Remembering your passions as a kid, as silly as they might seem, will help you determine what your purpose is now.

Pretend Money Isn’t a Factor

In today’s society, it’s all too easy to get bogged down with the idea of making money. And trust us — we get it. As a Lady Hustler, you want to make money, save money, and scale your business to the business of your dreams. But when it comes to your purpose — it can be hard to figure it out if money is an obstacle.

Take a minute and think about how you would be spending your time if money wasn’t an obstacle. What passion would you invest more time in if you knew it would pay the bills? The answers to these questions will help you determine your purpose in life by identifying what you would really care about if money wasn’t part of the equation.
