Sometimes I think about what Jim Carrey said: “I hope everybody could get rich and famous and will have everything they ever dreamed of, so they will know that it's not the answer.”
I guess first you have to achieve everything that lacks in your life in order to gain an abundance perspective: sex, money, aesthetics, friends, experiences etc.
- Living the good life: health, wealth, love and happiness
- Fufilling the 6 human needs (says tony robbins) : certainty, uncertainty, variety, significance, connection, growth, contribution
- Asking yourself personal questions and reflect. Things like:
"Describe your perfect day" (and not the sitting on the beach all day type shit)
"If you had 5 years to live and $100M what would you do"
"If today was your last day, what would you do?" (imagine the day lasts a long time, make a really big list, so once you get past all the skydiving, driving racecars, orgies and drugs, you start to think about some things that matter)
Don't expect your single profound answer to come from these questions. You probably have a bunch of things you want to do with your life. Make a list. Start trying things out, if it doesn't work, try something else.
Also try inversion, what would NOT be your life's purpose, if today was your last day, how wouldn't you spend it:
- Working a boring 9-5 job just to pay your bills
- Spending too much time on facebook
- Eating crappy food that makes you feel terrible
- Hanging out with people you don't care about
etc.
Food for thought.
