Living a Life of Purpose – Part Two

Why living a purpose-driven life is good for you

Our second article in our Living a Life of Purpose series focuses on why a purpose-driven life is essential to you and your well-being. Living a life of purpose is not about what we acquire, how much money we make, or how successful we are.


Living a life of purpose is about what we do and how we do it.


Living a purpose-driven life can benefit your overall well-being and satisfaction. Here are some reasons why living with a sense of purpose is good for you:

  1. Meaning and fulfillment: Having a clear purpose gives your life direction and meaning. It provides a sense of satisfaction as you engage in activities that align with your values, passions, and beliefs. When you have a purpose, you have a reason to wake up each day with enthusiasm and a sense of drive.

  2. Motivation and resilience: Purposeful Living fuels your motivation and helps you stay committed to your goals and aspirations. It provides a sense of direction and focus, which can help you overcome obstacles and persevere in the face of challenges. Purpose acts as an inner compass, guiding your decisions and actions.

  3. Mental and emotional well-being: Research studies suggest that individuals with a sense of purpose experience better mental and emotional well-being. Having a purpose can contribute to a positive self-image, higher self-esteem, and increased self-confidence. It provides a sense of identity and a framework for making choices that align with your values and beliefs.

  4. Increased satisfaction and happiness: Living a purpose-driven life makes you more likely to experience fulfillment and happiness. Engaging in activities that align with your purpose brings joy and well-being. It allows you to tap into your strengths and talents, which can lead to a greater sense of accomplishment and contentment.

  5. Improved physical health: Studies have shown that individuals with a sense of purpose tend to have better physical health outcomes and live longer. They are more likely to engage in healthier behaviors, such as regular exercise, a balanced diet, and adequate sleep, contributing to overall well-being. Purpose-driven individuals may also experience reduced stress levels and improved resilience to illness.

  6. Enhanced relationships and social connection: Living purposefully can deepen your relationships and foster meaningful connections with others. You attract like-minded individuals with similar values and passions when you have a clear sense of purpose. Engaging in purposeful activities can create a sense of community and provide opportunities for collaboration and support.

  7. Longevity and life satisfaction: Research conducted at the Harvard School of Health found that individuals who live purpose-driven lives tend to live longer and experience greater life satisfaction. Having a purpose gives you a reason to keep growing, learning, and contributing to the world around you. It provides a sense of fulfillment that extends beyond personal achievements and contributes to the greater good.

Living a purpose-driven life can bring many benefits, including a sense of meaning, motivation, well-being, satisfaction, and improved relationships. It allows you to align your actions with your values and passions, leading to a more fulfilling and rewarding life.

Purpose is not something to find or discover. Each of us has the power to create purpose in our lives. Purpose comes from self-reflection and personal development and is something you must work at to create.


Below are a few self-reflection questions to assist you when creating your sense of purpose:


· What brings you joy and happiness?

· What makes you angry and why?

· What values must be present to feel fulfilled at home and work?

· What three words do you want people to use to describe you when you are not in the room?
