I look forward to reading more. Very thoughtful and challenging questions David. Our openness to challenge the status quo, even the status quo of ourselves, is what leads to the greatest growth. Thank you Alex for taking the time to drop by. I believe we always need to ask ourself questions………. Thank you for the reminder. I can certainly relate to this post I turn 43 this year.

Despite this, I can look at all the good things in my life, and all the goals I did achieve, and I am very satisfied and grateful for this. Thanks for the post David.

Until the day I realized I was on the wrong track and that much of my day was doing something I did not like. It was not my way. At that point, I should have read your article.

After pondering and pondering with no answer, I finally asked myself the following questions: What do I really want? What makes me happy? What gives me peace of mind and fulfills me inside? Then all of a sudden it hit me! What does it look like? What does it feel like? What are you doing? Who do you see? What are your passions? The next question was, how?

Mission Your mission is how you fulfill your vision, and in turn, your purpose. To figure out your mission, here are questions to ask: How do you reach your vision? How do you need to behave? What do you have to do every day? What should you not do?

What obstacles will be in your way? How many options do you have?

Values Your values are the principles and ideals that define who you are. Ask yourself these questions to help you figure out yours: What characteristics describe you as a person? Who are the people you love to work with? What people do you want to be like, and not like? What things in life will you not negotiate? What do you believe in?

What makes you tick deep inside? What do you truly believe in?

Here are a few personal examples of how it has changed my life: When I wake up, instead of waiting for the day to be over I am eager to go make an impact. I look forward to seeing my loved ones instead of complaining why they want to hang out. When the world is pulling me in a million directions I look to my mission to get me back on track.

When I get stuck in a difficult dilemma, I look to my values to determine the answer. Living a life of purpose is a lifelong process. Veronica Nguyen Veronica Nguyen is social entrepreneur with a passion to help the world become a better place.
