Purpose: The Reason of Life, and Its Life Changing Benefits
The Magical, life-changing recipe, and Yes, this is not a joke, or even an exaggeration.
You have to adopt a Purpose, it could be 1, 2 or more, then you will have to absorb it in the right way, just to make it your belief and daily thing, that you get up in the morning, full with energy and motivation, to go on with your day, progressing, enjoying the process, and imagining a future result, or outcome that you would love and enjoy to see, that would fulfil you and make you feel, more like your true self.
Everyone can have his or her purpose in life. Purpose can be explained as the person’s deep wants and aims in life, it is what drives everyone to do what they believe and think they are meant to do, or to keep. A person can have more than just 1 purpose, and for many, they define their purpose as a goal or set of goals that they want to continuously work for, to achieve, to move to their next goals and improve.
More explanation about what a Purpose can be:
#1. A Purpose can be at work and career life, social life, partnership and parenthood, or at more global scale, such as societies, humanity and the environment.
It is really unique to the person of how they see and understand their purpose, how deeply they desire it, how passionate they are for it, and so on..
#2. A Purpose can come in many shapes, styles and scales. It could be either a continuous sort of daily activities a person is enjoying doing, passionate about, and being fulfilled by seeing the continuous efforts and outcomes being fruitful.
Or it could be a goal, or a set of goals, which a person is willing to reach and achieve, so he would draw his energy and motivation, on a daily basis, from his deep belief and desire for the final outcome, imaging and longing for it.
#3. A Purpose is different between one person to another, consider it the very unique style and system which everyone operates on;
However, this style and system we are talking about, the Purpose, can actually change and get upgraded, as you go on with your life, as you get more knowledge in life, get more experienced, and skilled, you could evolve your wants, goals and strategies, and priorities in life, and hence, your purpose will respond accordingly, to be more upgraded, sophisticated, or just different.
Whether your purpose is your happy-time, satisfying and meaningful work, possibly some spiritual beliefs, or even your social and family responsibilities. Here, in 3toAlphas, we focus on connecting and integrating the Purpose as an unlimited driving force and motive, for Characteristic growth and development, towards Success and Fulfillment in life. We don’t see any separation between the Purpose and each aspect of life.
Take our Compact Quiz to know how defined and strong is your Life Purpose.
Alpha Men Purpose:
One of the main defining characteristics of an Alpha Man, is having his strong, well-defined purpose, that drives him, and fills him with energy towards fulfilling it.
Now, the energy here is not that of some Hollywood movie, or a super hero fantasy, but you can see it at those successful personalities, whether in your life, from your connections, or the famous names you keep hearing about.
You can deploy this super power for your gains, and utilize it to get anything you want in life.
And again, the purpose can come in multiple ways, and it could be more than 1. But you see the picture here.
As Alphas are driven to achieve, and to succeed, they have a clear view for their daily lives, and a clear vision outlined for what future they want.
Now, a man can have many of the Alpha traits and habits, even if he doesn’t have a clear and deep purpose, but then, he would not be a complete one, in other words, he wouldn’t have that mane of a true Alpha.
They religiously follow their work ethic and are very focused. They are more of a “work hard quietly, let success make the noise” kind-of-guy. Failure does not deter them from rising and working harder than before. This is because he understands that he has you and he has a purpose. An alpha male knows his purpose and actively works to fulfil it.
Why a sense of purpose is important
A sense of purpose acts like a north star in directing your thoughts, feelings and behavior.
Having a sense of purpose in what you do provides a sense of lasting fulfilment and is the most significant enabler of you being at your best.
A sense of purpose provides immense motivation and guides you in achieving your authentic potential.
A sense of purpose enables you to get through harder times and to persevere through adversity.
Having a sense of purpose significantly benefits your health, work performance and ultimately your levels of flourishing.
Why do you need to live your life with purpose? Perhaps you don’t, perhaps you’re perfectly happy without purpose? But perhaps if you ever catch yourself questioning why you do what you do and what it’s all for; or you feel there’s a life you were meant to live which doesn’t quite sync with the one you’re actually living, or you just don’t feel quite fulfilled – then having a purpose could resolve all that.
