A lot of people often ask about how to find the purpose of their life. There is even a dubious quote attributed to Mark Twain confirming the futility of life. Yet, the purpose is not some Eureka moment, but indeed how one chooses to live life by. This is the first of three major misconceptions surrounding purpose in life. The second is that people consider purpose a one-off moment in life. In reality, it is a constant endeavor to do what one truly sets out to. This is true about humanitarian causes as well as intellectual pursuits. Also, purpose need to arise from a single source, but maybe from multiple such as family and work could both be reasons enough. A third such misconception is that purpose remains static throughout. Understanding one’s evolution in purpose is also a sign of one’s talent management abilities. Things will keep evolving, and one cannot be pigeonholed to things that were of interest long back.Source:
