You know when you’re living your life on purpose – it is the type of lifestyle that follows after first finding out how to live a pleasurable or happy life. When you’re living with purpose and meaning you get a rich sense of fulfillment that goes beyond sensory satisfaction or pleasant emotions. I have found that most people have a deep understanding of this subject and how they see themselves in relation to it – as if we were made that way.
When most people notice that their life lacks meaning or purpose they look to their outer circumstances first – job satisfaction or relationships or social life for purpose. And there can be success doing that. However, I would stress the importance of working on inner meaning first; those ‘how do I fit into the bigger picture’ questions. Or even asking God (in whatever way you define him/her), ‘how can I serve you’. Of course inner and outer purpose are very much linked but it is far easier to find outer purpose and meaning once inner purpose and meaning are found.

A very useful little test - I’d be interested to know what my results would have been 3 years ago, before I found my faith - they would have been much lower I’m sure.
Though I understand some people may scoff when I say that Christianity has changed my life for the better.
I found 2 min testfor finding purpose really interesting but has left me realising that I need to identify my inner purpose asnd havent a clue how to go about that!
OK so the test proved what I already know, that I feel I have no purpose. Now what am I supposed to do about it?!
