Happiness. How to Discover Your Life Purpose in About 20 Minutes. How do you discover your real purpose in life?
I’m not talking about your job, your daily responsibilities, or even your long-term goals. I mean the real reason why you’re here at all — the very reason you exist. Perhaps you’re a rather nihilistic person who doesn’t believe you have a purpose and that life has no meaning. Doesn’t matter. Not believing that you have a purpose won’t prevent you from discovering it, just as a lack of belief in gravity won’t prevent you from tripping.

How to Figure Out What You Want in Life. How to Stop Worrying: Self-Help for Anxiety Relief. Why is it so hard to stop worrying?
Constant worrying takes a heavy toll. It keeps you up at night and makes you tense and edgy during the day. You hate feeling like a nervous wreck. So why is it so difficult to stop worrying? For most chronic worriers, the anxious thoughts are fueled by the beliefs—both negative and positive—they hold about worrying. On the negative side, you may believe that your constant worrying is harmful, that it’s going to drive you crazy or affect your physical health. On the positive side, you may believe that your worrying helps you avoid bad things, prevents problems, prepares you for the worst, or leads to solutions.
How to Stop Worrying: Self-Help for Anxiety Relief. How To Figure Out What You Want In Life. It’s so much easier to know what we don’t want in life.
Society has trained us pretty well to think this way. We protest against war, against hunger, against murders, etc... Not surprisingly, we forget to fight for what we want. Maybe you're in a career that you wanted five or 10 years ago but it’s not making you happy anymore. You’re bored, but you don’t know how to move on. Or maybe you attempted different career paths, but didn't find much success. Or you're in the middle of grad school and feeling that this is not what you want. Why did all of this happen to you? You're simply ignoring your inner guide! You’ve been too focused on chasing a specific outcome (such as money or title) that is not aligned with your unique strengths, values and passion.
The same concept is applied in every single area of life, such as spirituality, career, relationships, wealth, and so on. But when you pause every now and then to check-in with your inner guide, everything will fall into its natural place.
