How to Discover your life's Purpose Part 5.

Methods/Strategies for finding out your life's purpose.

In Part 4 we looked at the foundational requirements for discovering purpose. From this 5th Part of this series we shall be going through about 10 methods for discovering purpose until we exhaust them. Thereafter we would look at other important things.

Let's look at the 1st method.

1. Examine Yourself to Find Out Your Natural Abilities.

This has to do with identifying what you are good at. These include your gifts, talents, potentials etc. They all refer to those things you can do effortlessly that the majority of people around you find difficult to do; most people around you also tell you that they notice you are good in this area. No one else in the world has exactly the same gifts, talents, background, or future as you." When you identify what you are good at –the thing that sets you apart from others, and you tap into it, you begin to understand your life’s purpose. Dr. Myles Munroe said “The original purpose for a product determines its design, composition, capacity, and potential. Purpose may be defined as “original intent” or “reason for creation.” This means God designed you with purpose in mind, He placed inside you all what you need to help you fulfil a particular purpose. Those things God placed inside you for helping you fulfil purpose are called natural abilities

Your natural abilities are all pointers to what God wants you to do with your life. Your gifts and abilities were given to you (or more correctly put inside you) by God to enable you fulfill your life’s purpose effortlessly. What you do with your gift for the benefit of humanity is your life’s purpose. 

Take a look at the following examples below:

• If you have a good voice, that could be a pointer to the fact that God wants you to be in music.
• If you are good at mathematics, it could be a pointer to engineering, physics, computer science, accounting etc. those fields that require proficiency in logic and carrying out complex calculations accurately. In the case where you have so many other options or fields to choose from, it would be necessary to check inwards; on the area you are most passionate about. 
• If you find that you are naturally very curious or inquisitive, that could be a clue that you will very good at research work focused on answering important questions about life. You can also become a great inventor. Asides these you can also become a good journalist or writer.
• If you find out that you are good at communicating free with people whether those in your neighbourhood or even strangers then that’s a clue that you can be a great public relations officer, customer care agent, sales representative, marketing manager etc. in other words you can be very good at those fields and work positions that require good interpersonal communications skills or talent(s).
