If you want to discover your true purpose in life, you must first empty your mind of all the false purposes you’ve been taught (including the idea that you may have no purpose at all).
Peel away the layers of negative emotions and habits that are stifling your progress and creativity. Uncover the real you, the person you are comfortable with, your real motivation and what makes you happy.
The second step is to ensure that you conscientiously stay away from the stumbling blocks of your life. They are your negative emotions, your fear, anger and self doubt. It is not going to be easy; they are your mountains to climb. But the advantage is you know what they are and what you should do.
The third step is to find out what makes you happy.

1. Take out a blank sheet of paper or open up a word processor where you can type (I prefer the latter because it’s faster).
2. Write at the top, “What is my true purpose in life?”
3. Write an answer (any answer) that pops into your head. It doesn’t have to be a complete sentence. A short phrase is fine.
4. Repeat step 3 until you write the answer that makes you cry. This is your purpose.
