What objective measurement do you use to decide who to vote for in a political election
I remember growing up in the 70's hearing one adult after another discussing direction and purpose; almost always in terms of a some kind of quest. I thought that these things were elusive, difficult to get to, impossible to define, mysterious.
Holding that belief helped myself-- and at least an entire generation-- to ask more interesting questions about human development. We may have been humanists, but we certainly used the scientific method for our mission's discovery. Query, check, query, query, check, query...
Mentally we soared, spiritually we flowered... and some of us actually came to "get" what life's purpose is all about. We felt what it was like to be on target, we noticed how lousy it felt to be off it. We reveled in the discoveries...and this was good.
But what is good in times of leisurely query is not always good in times of crisis. Occasionally someone needs to flat-out KNOW their purpose and take action accordingly. Someone needs to heal the sick, tend to the elderly, build buildings and stop fires. Someone needs to know what their life is about and take steps to manifest it. Someone needs to become the leader.
"Great," you may say, "for those people who know what their life is about." And great too, for those of you who admire those who know-- because you are one step closer to knowing your own life's purpose.
If you are good at "the quest," then you might want to query yourself about those admired individuals who DO know their purpose: 1) what specifically is it they are doing that is so appealing? 2) what kind of qualities has this person developed? 3) if this person's mission/purpose were tweaked for the better, what would it be then?
Regarding question number 3: would THAT be a worthy enough purpose for you to go with? Or do we still need a thunderbolt to seal your fate?
If you need something other than an internet article to promote your mission, then here is the question you need to answer honestly for yourself: what has to happen in order for you to KNOW what your purpose is?
Determining your life's purpose is your finest creative act. And it IS important. So, ask what you need, and make your mission matter

Where is the purpose of your life hiding that it needs to be found?
