How do I redefine my purpose if I found myself not getting satisfied with what I do and the results I achieve?
Redefining your life purpose is often a means of redefining your life trajectory. You’ve hit a point where, frankly, what you’ve been doing is no longer working for you. You feel unhappy, dissatisfied, lost, frustrated, or depressed. What you once drew meaning from no longer fulfils the needs in you. You perspective has shifted, a new light is being gleamed on either yourself, your situation, or your life in general. Growth is seldom easy, if it ever is, and as we grow we begin to change parts of ourselves.
Changing the course of your life requires you to study yourself, to introspect deeply and honestly, and figure out what you really want. Where do you want to be? Are you chasing something that is ultimately elusive and ill-defined, are you chasing something superficial — fame, validation, pleasure, escape from pain — or are you willing to press down and find something valuable for you to base the next stage of your life on reaching?
Human beings often have the idea that life has some special purpose, some driving passion waiting for you to discover it, is pure hubris. You’re just not that special. Neither am I. Neither is almost anyone. Don’t look for it; create it, instead. Create your own purpose, looking for purpose because you feel someone somewhere has put is there is almost like chasing shadows.
