How to Discover Your Life Purpose in About 20 Minutes
How do you discover your real purpose in life? I’m not talking about your job, your daily responsibilities, or even your long-term goals. I mean the real reason why you’re here at all — the very reason you exist.
Perhaps you’re a rather nihilistic person who doesn’t believe you have a purpose and that life has no meaning. Doesn’t matter. Not believing that you have a purpose won’t prevent you from discovering it, just as a lack of belief in gravity won’t prevent you from tripping. All that a lack of belief will do is make it take longer, so if you’re one of those people, just change the number 20 in the title of this blog entry to 40 (or 60 if you’re really stubborn). Most likely though if you don’t believe you have a purpose, then you probably won’t believe what I’m saying anyway, but even so, what’s the risk of investing an hour just in case?
Here’s a story about Bruce Lee which sets the stage for this little exercise. A master martial artist asked Bruce to teach him everything Bruce knew about martial arts. Bruce held up two cups, both filled with liquid. “The first cup,” said Bruce, “represents all of your knowledge about martial arts. The second cup represents all of my knowledge about martial arts. If you want to fill your cup with my knowledge, you must first empty your cup of your knowledge.”
If you want to discover your true purpose in life, you must first empty your mind of all the false purposes you’ve been taught (including the idea that you may have no purpose at all).
So how to discover your purpose in life? While there are many ways to do this, some of them fairly involved, here is one of the simplest that anyone can do. The more open you are to this process, and the more you expect it to work, the faster it will work for you. But not being open to it or having doubts about it or thinking it’s an entirely idiotic and meaningless waste of time won’t prevent it from working as long as you stick with it — again, it will just take longer to converge.
Here’s what to do:
- Take out a blank sheet of paper or open up a word processor where you can type (I prefer the latter because it’s faster).
- Write at the top, “What is my true purpose in life?”
- Write an answer (any answer) that pops into your head. It doesn’t have to be a complete sentence. A short phrase is fine.
- Repeat step 3 until you write the answer that makes you cry. This is your purpose.
That’s it. It doesn’t matter if you’re a counselor or an engineer or a bodybuilder. To some people this exercise will make perfect sense. To others it will seem utterly stupid. Usually it takes 15-20 minutes to clear your head of all the clutter and the social conditioning about what you think your purpose in life is. The false answers will come from your mind and your memories. But when the true answer finally arrives, it will feel like it’s coming to you from a different source entirely.

What is my true purpose in life quiz…. Here is my 20 minutes….
TO have fun? No that’s not it, can’t have fun being a slave. TO raise a family? I am not sure that’s it either as I just made the government more working slaves to fulfill the gap when I die. TO sleep? Nope that’s not it either because there is no true sleep anymore, just work work work! TO help people? Nah that’s not it as everyone doesn’t give a crap as all they do is work too. TO make peace in the world, lol, like that would be possible as it’s all about money…money = war, as long as money there will never be peace. Hmm running out of questions…oh how about to find love? Well again as long as there is money love comes second. TO experience love? What am I talking about…I already answered that question….money is the driving force of love. TO suffer? Hmm this answer makes me cry, life has been nothing but suffering. To go to work tomorrow…this makes me cry too, I hate working as a slave and paying out everything I have worked for as in 90 percent of everything which goes to the rich who seem to by the way not care about this dumb quiz as they have everything they need and want. Well I am running out of questions to ask myself… any ideas?
My conclusion…..I was put here to work as a slave and pay to the rich everything I make! Well that’s it! That’s my purpose! That’s what made me cry. Thanks for helping me figure out what I already knew about being in this human construct.
As long as we have money, we will never truly live or be free! END OF STORY.
