Finding Purpose, Passion, and Meaning in Your Life – Care to Help?

finding purpose passion meaning in life survey help opinion options answers richardstep

We all have to start somewhere - some of us could use the extra help!

Finding your true meaning in life, the reason your were put on the planet, your true passions – isn’t this what it’s all about?  When we can go further and further into this self discovery search for our purpose and true direction, then we can finally start to do what we were meant to do.

This is something that I have been looking over pretty heavily for a while now.  I’ve taken some online quizzes, read a few books (~120 this year, so far!), been to a few seminars… but you know what?  While I may be a bit closer to having a much clearer vision, I have to tell you that no *single thing* really did it for me.

A combination of the tests, books, classes, and a very healthy dose of prayers have brought me much closer to where I am to be.  This brings me to a big point… how can I help other people start finding their way to their life purposes without having to zig-zag back and forth through the maze of information out there?

I could guess and make stuff up all day long – I really do enjoy brainstorming and being creative.  However, I would rather you just tell me yourself! :)

Below is a 10 question questionnaire that will provide valuable insight into making a clear-cut path for all you passion, purpose, and meaning finding hungry people out there.  Please spare a few minutes of your time – here goes:

  1. How do you think most people in the work-force feel about their work?
  2. What do you think is stopping people from doing what they love? Why?
  3. In general, what kind of help do you think people need to do what they really love?
  4. How could people be helped to find and do what they really love in life?
  5. What would you do to better understand your purpose and direction in life?
  6. And if you now had that, then what would be your next step and how would you get there?
  7. Describe your 3 biggest obstacles to getting to or continually living your purpose.
  8. What did you think of any personality of purpose finding tests / quizzes you’ve taken?
  9. What would you do to improve personality or purpose finding tests / quizzes?
  10. When working to improve yourself, what kind of advice or information is most useful to you?

Thank you and peace out!
