Discovering Your Life’s Purpose:

Free Full Exercise

Finding my authentic self is something that I struggled with for a long time. In a way, I’m still discovering myself. While you should always allow yourself to grow and evolve, it’s also important to have some direction in life by finding your True North.

I believe that when individuals find their authentic selves, society benefits and evolves as a result. There are many aspects to living an authentic life, from wellness to self-discovery to finding a fitting career. Once you start living an authentic life, you will become noticeably more content and satisfied. This is because you finally align yourself with your higher purpose, innate talents, and natural dispositions.

But here’s the problem: most people don’t know what they want in life. Even if some claim to know, they’re often just accepting the programming imposed by mainstream society (the Matrix). These people may commit to a seemingly satisfying career, only to feel burned out or purposeless ten years later.

That being said, some people are content with what life has given them, and that’s fine. But this article is for those who wish to live up to their utmost potential and higher calling.

The best way to start living a more authentic and fulfilling life is to discover what you truly want, which is a very tricky and deeply philosophical quest that only the brave choose to explore.

I strongly believe that the best way to start a self-discovery quest is by temporarily removing yourself from your familiar environment and going on a retreat or a sabbatical. But most people don’t have the time or resources for that, right? That’s why I’ve designed a well-researched self-discovery questionnaire that anybody can complete in one cozy afternoon.

So, light up your hygge candles, make yourself a hot vegan latte, and let’s start. No excuses!

My Research

In this blog, I’ve devised a well-researched questionnaire of self-discovery inspired by the teachings of the following books:

• “The Four Agreements” by Don Miguel Ruiz
• “The Untethered Soul” by Michael A. Singer
• “Daring Greatly” by Brené Brown
• “Man’s Search for Meaning” by Viktor E. Frankl
• “The Power of Now” by Eckhart Tolle
• “The Pathless Path” by Paul Millerd
• “Outwitting the Devil” by Napoleon Hill

This questionnaire will help you question your own convictions and find (or build) your authentic self. Some questions will be followed by instructions, while others will not.

Answer the questions without instructions to the best of your ability. Don’t skip any questions unless given the option. Some questions might seem redundant, but don’t worry—it’s all part of the process.

Before You Begin

Objectives: This questionnaire is crafted to prompt deep reflection, aligning with the teachings of the above-mentioned authors to guide individuals toward self-discovery and fulfillment.
