Why Are You Here? On This Planet, I Mean!

Want to discover your real purpose in life? NO, I’m not talking about your stupid job, your daily grind, or even your long-term goals … no, I mean the REAL reason why you’re placed on this earth — the very reason why you exist! Yes? Good, then let’s start …

Perhaps you believe that life has no meaning (note: that’s just freaking sad right there). Well, it doesn’t matter anyway, because 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 over the place. It’ll just take you a little longer to figure things out is all! Most likely though if you don’t believe you have a purpose, then you probably won’t believe what you’re reading right now anyway, but even so, what’s the risk of investing a little time and energy trying to figure this whole “purpose” thing out?

So, are you ready to discover your true purpose in life, or what? Good … then you must first empty your mind of all the phony garbage you’ve been taught along the way (including the idiotic idea that you may have no purpose at all). After this it gets fairly heavy … are you ready? Great, because the following is one of the simplest ways to do it (note: the more open you are to this process, and the more you expect it to work, the faster it will work for you):

Step 1. Take out a blank sheet of paper.
Step 2. Write down, “What is my true purpose in life?”
Step 3. Then answer it with the first thing that pops into your head.
Step 4. Repeat step 3 until you write something that makes you cry.
Step 5. Congrats: you’ve just found your purpose!

That’s it! See how simple it was … it really doesn’t matter if you’re a doctor or a Wal-Mart bag checker! That’s how sweet this thing is! OK, to most people this exercise will make perfect sense; however to a small minority of unbelievers it will seem utterly stupid. This process generally takes anywhere from 15-20 minutes to clear your head of all the clutter and the social conditioning about what you think your purpose in life should be … but don’t worry, it will come to you! Ok, false answers will probably spring up left and right from your memories, but when the true answer finally arrives, you’ll know it (note: it’ll come from an entirely different source … trust me)!

Now here comes the disclaimer: You must do this alone, and with NO interruptions! If you’re scared at first, why not start with the answer, “I don’t have a purpose,” or “Life is crap,” and take it from there (if you keep at it, you’ll still eventually figure it out)? When you do finally find your own unique answer to this question of why you’re here, you will feel it resonate with you deeply. The words will seem to have a special energy to you, and you will feel that energy whenever you read your answer from that point forwards!

I’d guesstimate that 99.8% of people should find out what their life’s purpose is in less than ten minutes! However, if you’re really stuck in your beliefs and super-resistant to the process, like the other .2% are, then maybe it will take you a little longer, but I suspect that these people will probably quit early anyways (like within the first 5 minutes … just like they always do I life) or worse: they won’t even attempt it at all. But if you read my nonsense every day, then it’s doubtful you fall into this group (read: you’re smarter than that).

Ok, discovering your purpose is the easy part … the hard part is going to be keeping with it on a daily basis, and then working on yourself to the point where you totally become that purpose (that’s some hippie talk right there … I get it. But, it’s true nonetheless). Finally, if you want to know why this process works so well, just put that question aside until after you’ve successfully completed the process. Once you’ve done that, you’ll probably have your own answer as to why it works, without giving it any more thought.

Go on … give it a shot! At the very least, you’ll learn one of two things: your true purpose in life, or that I am totally full of s@#t! Hey, anything’s possible, am I right?!
