10 Myths About Your Purpose in Life

1. There is one definition of success.

And it involves an established career, large house, acceptable body shape, marriage and annual holidays.

The truth is we all have our own unique path to walk in this life because what brings true meaning and satisfaction differs for all of us.

Let go of the idea that there is a right way to live. Instead, commit to living, working, playing, creating, traveling, eating, loving and laughing in ways that feel right to you.

2. You should compare yourself to other people.

There is a saying: “Life is the most difficult exam of all. Many people fail because they try to copy others, not realising that everyone has different questions on their paper”.

Imagine you are swimming laps in a public pool. If you spend too much time watching the person in the lane next to you, your own performance and enjoyment suffers.

It is the same with life. While it is fine to look to others for inspiration, it is wise to keep your eyes fixed firmly on your own lane.
