The purpose of your life is to be lived period.
Specific purposes or missions are not completely necessary to live your life purpose. By default you will live your life on purpose automatically just by living it.
Your only real purpose in life is to be you to the best of your ability. Many of you focus on careers or a particular mission in life to fulfill your purpose but this is just the vehicle that you are using to be who you really are.
So in a nutshell your life purpose is just to be you, and you are the real mission and the real purpose.
You want to get off treadmill of life
You are feeling the need to get off the treadmill of life, and now you decided that you prefer to create a life that you consciously choose, instead of a work or life schedule created by someone else. You want the creative power for your life, and you prefer to spend your time doing what you really like to do.
You have a burning desire to make money doing what you love to do, by doing something that feels natural to you. You must live your life on purpose.
It's been said that you have no inherent purpose for your life and that you are alive just to do whatever you want to at any time. This might be true for some people, but I know this is not your personal truth.
Discontentment
You desire more out of your life experience and now you feel more willing to do whatever it takes to become the person you are meant to be. Your current challenge is that you lost your map, your blueprint, and you lost your way. Perhaps you are feeling lost and hopeless, and you just want to connect with a life purpose that feels like the right fit for you.
Continual discontentment in your life experience is a tell-tale sign that you are not living your life on purpose. Most likely you are living a life that is not of your choosing. Perhaps some of the parts are a match for you, but you are still compromising yourself in other areas of your life.
To be able to live a life on purpose you must be congruent with who you really are.
Life is subjective, despite the fact you should look at it objectively. There is no such thing as right or wrong. Right and wrong are aspects of duality and are more of a value judgment then an actual truth.
Everything at its center is neutral because your life has no meaning except the meaning you give it. That's why finding your purpose is of importance to you. You supply your life a meaning, a definition that authorizes and allows you to use your life purpose as a vehicle of expression of who you really are.
Become a Human Being
Transform yourself from a human doing to a human being. Your state of being is the most crucial part for living your life on purpose. You're state of being and not what you are doing will decide if you experience your life as an achievement or a failure.
Life Purpose Exercise
For the purpose of this exercise it is important that you do this alone, without any distractions. The life purpose exercise will take you thirty minutes or less. I remind you that having a life purpose is an exercise of free will based on your beliefs, definitions, values and how you would like to help co-create the planet that you live on.
Discovering your life- purpose exercise:
You will want to use your computer or a blank piece of paper for this exercise.
At the top you should write something like, "What is my purpose in life" or "Discovering my life purpose exercise."
Next, expand your mind and become relaxed as the information comes through you. Be sure to write everything that comes through including even the most trivial of information.
Continue writing until you feel strong feelings or perhaps even an emotion like weeping. Pain can be your friend because it serves as a reminder that you are resisting being who you really are.
Emotions are a powerful signal of your subconscious beliefs and that is the reason I use emotions for the purpose of this exercise. It's easier to feel and experience your emotions than it is to tap into your subconscious mind and discover your beliefs.
I urge you to do this exercise while your mind and body is in a relaxed and receiving state. This way you will more easily be able to open yourself up to higher levels of awareness (higher self). Do this exercise while you have alone time as well because any interruptions like family, phone calls, text messages and so on will disrupt your ability to receive the information.
While discovering your life purpose you may also discover a few answers that seem to give you a subtle feeling or emotion, but they don't quite make you express an emotion outwardly. Highlight those answers as you go along, so you can come back to them later to be able to dig a little deeper, and find out more.
Every purpose discovery reflects a piece of your purpose, but individually they aren't complete. When you start getting these kinds of answers, it just means you're getting warm. Keep going.
The key to remember is to open up your heart while you are writing and be honest about the answers you receive.
When you learn that you can do more with less, then you will be able to do less and get more.

An Identity Crisis Is Vital For Growth Because It Occurs At The Edge Of Chaos And Harmony
Internal Conflict Triggered By Chaos
It was the developmental psychologist Erik Erikson who first coined the term identity crisis.
He formulated eight key stages one undergoes through their adolescent years based on their psychosocial development.
They are:
Stage 1 - Trust vs. Mistrust
Stage 2 - Autonomy vs. Shame and Doubt
Stage 3 - Initiative vs. Guilt
Stage 4 - Industry vs. Inferiority
Stage 5 - Identity vs. Confusion
Stage 6 - Intimacy vs. Isolation
Stage 7 - Generativity vs. Stagnation
Stage 8 - Integrity vs. Despair
Erikson believed a person's personality develops in a series of stages. His model differs to Freud's in that social interactions and relationships impact an individual's development and growth throughout their life.
Each stage builds on the previous one which creates the foundations for growth in the following years.
At each stage, a person experiences internal conflicts, thus creating a turning point in the individual's personality.
The conflicts are based on the understanding that an individual experiences growth or fails to develop these qualities.
In the educational book Key Concepts in Counselling and Psychotherapy: A Critical A-Z Guide to Theory author Vicki Smith gives a clear understanding of how an identity crisis can become a source of power within the individual's psyche: "He (Erikson) believed that we all have identity crises at one time or another in our lives and that these crises do not necessarily represent a negative state but can be a driving force toward positive resolution."
If they integrate the conflicts into their personality, the subsequent growth and development will serve them later in life. If they don't develop these abilities, they are likely to suffer an inhibited sense of self which dominates their life.
Erikson's understanding is that an individual becomes competent when moving through the eight stages and integrates the egoic self into their psyche.
In a similar vein, author Jan Frazier explains in The Freedom of Being: At Ease with What Is the need to transcend the ego by stepping outside the known sense of self: "In order to look at yourself, you have to step outside of it. Look not with the eyes of the ego, but with the eyes of presence."
The Ego Is Not Meant To Dominate Your Life
Many people identify with outer aspects of their life as the basis to their identity.
For example, an individual may believe their role is that of a mother and wife. Yet, if their husband is unfaithful and the marriage dissolves, they will question their identity since they no longer associate with that label.
Similarly, others presume their work, relationships, physical appearance, social and wealth status or performance are measures of their identity.
Regrettably, if these aspects are removed from their life, they experience an identity crisis because they created a persona around them.
I would argue these qualities do not shape your identity but are a vehicle in which to explore your life's narrative.
Your ego is the identity the mind constructs to define itself, yet this is a fictional narrative because external events can disrupt it.
Jan Frazier reaffirms how the roles you play do not construct your identity since there is an underlying presence beneath that: "The roles you play, the features you exhibit, the things you believe in - while they matter very much in the ordinary realm of human discourse - are not what you are. When presence senses itself within you, none of these things have any substance."
Your true identity lies beneath the shadow of the egoic self. An identity crisis is vital to an individual's growth because it allows for chaos and order to reveal one's authentic nature.
An identity crisis can be likened to the shell of an egg breaking open. The shell merely gives form to the ego so it can make sense of its role within society.
The ego is not meant to dominate your life, nor do you wish to banish it. It must be integrated with the authentic self to develop the wholeness of who you are.
Otherwise, the egoic self you once identified with is no longer something you can uphold.
Don't Try To Make Sense Of Chaos
To paint a contrasting view, psychotherapist and meditation teacher Loch Kelly writes in Shift into Freedom: The Science and Practice of Open-Hearted Awareness how consciousness creates a thinker to uphold the ego, thus forming a mistaken identity in the process: "Afflictive consciousness creates a thinker out of thinking and ego function, and this thought-based sense of self forms the core of mistaken identity. Nothing more than a self-referential loop of thinking about thinking, our mistaken identity is actually a continuous conceptual proliferation that creates solid things out of images and a solid self out of thinking."
What is essential is to unmask the egoic self so the pain, suffering and uncertainty are the underpinnings for future growth and development.
It is like the progress of performance athletes experience when training for the Olympics. They must push to the edge of their limits and discover their potential or risk remaining where they are.
If they push too far too soon, they may invoke physical injury that can sideline them. They may become depressed as a result because their identity is formed around their status of an athlete and performance.
However, from a developmental viewpoint, the experience can be vital to their performance if they can let go of their fixed narrative and former identity.
If you experienced an identity crisis, trust in the deeper psychological lesson guiding your personal development.
Don't try to make sense of the chaos, but surrender to the process, knowing whatever is breaking apart is doing so to make way for the true self to emerge.
