Finding clarity in purpose

How to find clarity and purpose in your personal growth

Finding clarity and purpose in our lives or in whatever we do can be a very transformative journey. It is pleasing to have a clear understanding on what we want, need or desire. It gets even better when we know and comprehend what to do to achieve these goals. Following are some of the strategies that can help guide us in this journey.

1. Have self-reflection.

Take time to think about what you value and are passionate about. What truly matters to you, what do you enjoy doing or what brings joy and fulfilment to you. Take into consideration your strengths; What are you capable of doing? What are you skilled at? What traits do you have that can contribute towards what you want to do?

I would recommend writing these things down either on a piece of paper or your phone or in your computer. I don’t know about you; I find writing things down are more likely to stick into the mind than just reading them.

• Set goals.

Once we are clear on what you want to do, come up with the goals that can help achieve or actualize your desire. Come up with both short- and long-term goals that resonate with your values and desire.

• Plan

Draw up a succinct plan that will help you achieve your set up goals. This plan contains the road map on what you will need to do to achieve your goals. For example, when looking for a job, you man considers drawing up a strong resume that can appeal to recruiters and place you at a stronger point of discovery.

•  Act

Implement your goal plan. Clarity comes through action.  Don’t wait for things to clear up you start. Waiting can place you at a risk of procrastination. As you work on your goals, the path gets clear. You may encounter challenges that require solution, right there you get clarity on what to change and what to keep.

• Review your goal plan.

Review your plan regularly, adjust as required.
