Higher Purpose

I feel that there is a higher purpose for my life. I’m not sure at this point what that purpose is, but I know that I will find what my purpose is. I am not going to rush figuring out what is my higher purpose in life; it will find me when it is time for me to know. I guess I could go on without every really knowing my higher purpose. Or in another way I could never know it but be living it without knowing that it is my higher purpose.

For the longest time I thought my higher purpose had to do with helping people. I always thought that I would even up in a career where I would be helping people. I have always put others feeling before my own.

I think that it shapes me in the way that I interact with other people. I always seem to find a way to make other people’s day better even when I am having a really horrible day. I want to help others in any way that I can. I don’t like seeing others in pain or being sad. At the same time I know that I can’t take all of their problems away. I want to at least show them that even when life is kicking you down that there is always something happy that can come from the situation.


My top strengths are honesty, perseverance, teamwork, curiosity, and kindness. With these strengths I can figure out what my higher purpose in life is. I have always been a very honest person, I was raised not to lie to people even it is to save face. It’s better to say the thing that everyone is thinking then to be the most liked person. With perseverance I will never give up when I am faced with a problem. Even when I struggle with a problem, I can hold on because I was raised to never ever give up. I love working in teams, I feel that I work best when I can use others to backboard ideas off. I feel that with teams bring out the best out of everyone on the team. I am a very curios person. When something doesn't make sense to I am the person to ask “why?”. I think that you should always be nice to others even when they have done wrong to you. With all of these strengths I know that I will figure out what the plan for my life is.
