Are you living life with a purpose in mind? In this blog, I’ll share the 6 ways to live your life with purpose.
Finding your purpose in life can turn everything around. It can make your life immediately more meaningful, giving you a reason to get out of bed in the morning instead of grouching your way to the coffee pot.
Living with purpose helps to make the tough times easier to deal with, and the good times even better.
1. Know Your Beliefs
Living with purpose starts with understanding your own personal system of values and beliefs. What is important to you? What really matters?
When you understand your beliefs, you can start to live by sticking to what is really important in your moral universe. You have an inbuilt list that you can use to guide the way you make decisions and priorities.
It is the bedrock of integrity and how others will judge you. Living in alignment with your beliefs will earn you respect and trust.
2. Get Clarity on Your Priorities
Your priorities are shaped by your purpose. Once you know your life’s purpose, it becomes easier to work out what you want to do and how to achieve your goals.
This clarity means that saying no to some things and a hearty yes to others becomes more natural, and you’ll get ahead much faster.
3. Aim for Balance
Once you’re comfortable with your life purpose, some of the striving and anxiety of life can ease off. You don’t have to work 24/7. You know how important it is to stay healthy, emotionally, and physically.
People living with purpose make sure to connect with the people they love, and they don’t forget about self-care.
4. Follow Your Passion
Knowing your passion will help you find and nurture your purpose. Passion means energy and motivation; it means being really engaged with life and focusing on getting the most out of it. A new day is full of opportunities and promise, and you’re ready to go for it!
5. Feel Your Contentment
This might sound a little surprising, but living a purposeful life gives you time to smell the roses. Knowing your life purpose takes the anxious edge off things and allows you to feel grateful for where you are now, as well as excited for the future.
6. Live in the Present
Perhaps the best gift of a life of purpose is that you relish every moment. There’s no room in your life for regret because everything you do is part of the big adventure.
Challenges and setbacks become easier to ride out because you’re not letting failure define you. Being plugged into the present allows you to feel the abundance that’s already in your life.

Sound advice to go by! The thought of being just minutes away from freshly brewed coffee is honestly something that helps me get out of bed. I was just talking about our purpose with my best friend a while ago. We are Moms to teenagers, and it won’t be long and the youngsters won’t “need” us anymore, so time for us to get out there and find new purpose. Great article, thank you!
Thank you for the purposeful sharing! I’d love to know a favorite way that you spend time in the present 🙂
Love this! Aiming for balance and finding (actually pursuing) my passion for writing are the two things I’m focused on the most. Thank you for keeping that front of mind for me. I’ll be sharing this on my FB and Twitter for other’s to benefit from your wisdom.
I can see how each one of them could help you live more on purpose each day. But none more than really being clear about what your priorities are.
Great blog! I found my passion for sewing when I was 16 years old and turned it into an interior decorating business that lasted 56 years, just recently retiring. We now need to work on balance since we are still living in the 24/7 work attitude.
Thanks for sharing these tips. We often forget the importance of balance.
One of the ways that I am living my life with purpose and with intention is by using planners. Thanks for these lessons, they are very helpful in finding ways to live your life with purpose.
