How to determine your purpose in life. How to find your true purpose in life

"Ask, and it shall be given you;

seek and you will find;

knock and it will be opened to you"

Bible (Matt. 7:7).

Sooner or later, every person comes to the question of his own. For many reasons. Some people need this to get a taste of life, others to realize themselves, and others have learned that only by doing “their” business can they become rich, not only spiritually, but and in the completely tangible – material.

The desire to understand "why did you come into this world" can be very relevant and necessary, but getting to the very essence is not as easy for many people as it seems, except in cases where the purpose has been known since childhood.

If you are one of these seekers and still have not found the answer to this question, read this article and you will learn several simple methods that will help you quickly find the long-awaited answer.

1. Family connections.

The method is purely analytical. If you know your grandparents, then remember what their profession was or what they worked for, or what their soul was, as they say, about.

Which of these professions or occupations? your soul will respond, that, perhaps, is your destiny. But don’t rush to draw negative conclusions. To find out whether this specialty is suitable for you or not, you need to work in this direction.

Sometimes you can learn something valuable and important for yourself from an outwardly unattractive, uninteresting or boring, at first glance, activity. Or maybe you will be able to modernize this profession taking into account the modern development of the world, or come up with your own direction in it, your own trick.

2. Children's games.

Remember what you're into loved to play. The child is still free from many restrictions, conventions and prejudices of adult life, and therefore it is easier for him to find something to do for his soul. He only does what brings him joy and where he can express himself.

As children, we play those games that are truly interesting to us and that come easily to us - without any difficulty, and as if we had been doing this for a very long time and quite successfully.

3. Meditation “Help of the kind.”

Lie down in a secluded, quiet place, turn on relaxing music, adjust your breathing and enter a meditative state - imagine a place where you feel good, cozy and interesting. Find a path.

The path should lead you to a clearing. Look around and imagine how people begin to appear to your left and right - these are two branches of your family. On the one hand, there is the paternal line, and on the other, the maternal line. You remain between them.

Ask these people a question (you can write a mental note) that concerns you and see what happens. Depending on what you “saw” and “heard”, draw conclusions and use the hint you receive.

When you have enough information or you understand that communication is over for today, thank and return back along the path to the place where you started your meditation. This meditation gives very fascinating knowledge!

4. “I am a millionaire.”

Sit back, close your eyes and imagine yourself as a millionaire. You already have everything, you have fulfilled all your desires: a luxurious house, a car, a yacht, a plane, a million-dollar bank account. You have achieved everything you dreamed of and can afford everything you can think of. Ask yourself the main question: “What would I like to do? What business fills my life with meaning and joy?”

Write down all the ideas that come into your head.

5. Interview your loved ones.

In addition to these ways to find out your purpose, it will be very useful for you to pay attention to how people you respect evaluate you. What do they say about you? What do they think about your activities, behavior and character?

For example, from loving parents you can often hear phrases like: “You’re just like a teacher, daughter!” or “Son, you will grow into a good detective, you have excellent deduction!”. Well, or something like this from friends or colleagues: “You are very sociable, you can become an excellent social worker” or “Are you by chance a psychologist by profession? You are a great judge of people." Listen to their words, perhaps they contain truth.

6. Numerology.

Or you can turn to the ancient science of numerology, since its main task is identifying the influence of numbers on a person. By adding the numbers of the date of birth, sometimes also the numerical correspondence of the last name and first name, you can find out the number that determines the Life Path. It will indicate the path that will lead to the solution to your problem.

7. Tarot cards.

Another interesting direction that is currently widespread is arcanology. It is built on the 22 arcana of the Tarot and is tied to their semantic and numerological meanings.

Using the layout, you can get hints about what talents and abilities can be realized, answers about your purpose, and main tasks for a certain period of life.

8. Astrology.

You can also “calculate” your destiny by contacting an astrologer.

Based on the place and time of birth, the astrologer draws up a map that identifies the main areas of professional guidance and professional activity of a person, shows it in the person’s horoscope success his professional path. With the help of a horoscope, an astrologer can make fine adjustments and determine not only a person’s talents, but also the area of ​​​​activity in which a person will actually work.

9. Palmistry.

You can try turning to palmistry.

Destination can be read using palmistry along the line of Fate on the hand. The word itself " fate" implies " I will judge". Depending on how a person currently realizes the freedom of choice given to him, his life path is determined.

10. Reincarnation.

Remembering your past lives, mapping out incarnations, you can determine what your soul is most inclined to. Having ascended to the World of Souls, you can ask questions to your Guides and receive answers about the goals of your incarnations. Also from the World of Souls you can see what task you have set for this life. With the help of Reincarnation, you can reveal your destiny for one life, for several lives, and understand.

Whether you turn to the magic of numbers, engage in self-knowledge, fortune telling by the stars, or turn to your Soul to find answers,
the main thing is how we live every day!

It is important to understand: our guiding ball is in our hands!

I often meet people who do not know their purpose and are faced with the problem of searching from the outside. What I mean here is when people start looking in someone else instead of themselves. In this article I want to address the question of where to look and how to look in order to understand your purpose.

When a person gets a new job, he thinks whether this activity will suit him or not. Imagine that you come to a clothing store and look at an item. You still don’t know for sure whether it will fit or not, but when you put it on and look at yourself in the mirror, then you can definitely tell the answer.

So it is with the purpose and the activity that you want to choose. Everything is written inside, like an attached file that you need to download and click the “execute” button.

Every person is born for some kind of work.
Ernest Hemingway

To navigate knowledge, it is very important to define the terms.

A vocation is a call to an activity that is right for you, this is what a person was born for, what brings true pleasure. Destination is a phenomenon that is associated with the qualities of a person, that is, it is when a person corresponds to his nature.

There are two things that show that a person has achieved his destiny:

  • external harmony, that is, harmonious interaction with other people;
  • Inner satisfaction is when a person is satisfied because the activities he does are in accordance with his nature.
Finding your way, finding out your place - this is everything for a person, this means for him to become himself.
Vissarion Belinsky

It is not enough for a person to experience everyday comfort and a sense of security. It is when basic physiological needs are satisfied that self-expression becomes relevant.

The purpose is given from birth and therefore it is not necessary to consult a psychologist, coach or attend trainings. The difficulty remains that not everyone can get to the bottom of their true essence, which is why they turn to specialists to understand themselves.

The higher the level of awareness, the better and deeper you can understand your purpose. And only coaching raises you to a new level of awareness and understanding of yourself.

The point is not to know what to do, but to be able to feel worthy of doing what you were born to do.

For example, how can you understand that you put sugar in the sugar bowl and not salt or acid? What specific quality can be called that distinguishes sugar from free-flowing, crystalline grains? The first thing that comes to mind is that it is sweet.

Likewise, when a person comes to a certain job, he compares himself and his qualities, abilities and skills with the activity that he plans to do. How did he determine whether this was his place? He felt and compared himself, figuratively speaking, inserted his file into the world system.


The calling of every person in spiritual activity is a constant search for the truth and meaning of life.
Anton Pavlovich Chekhov

Inner calling is what a person wants more than anything in the world and what he cannot imagine his future existence without, and is sometimes ready to give up food and sleep. In other words, this is what you voluntarily want to devote your life to, what is more interesting than anything else. This is something intimate, some kind of inner deep knowledge.

The most important thing is that each person finds the answer to this question himself. The problem remains that not everyone understands their uniqueness, and because of this they cannot determine their path.

There are some tips for understanding how to determine your unique quality.

  1. Do a survey on social networks or ask your family, friends, acquaintances, everyone you know about what qualities you have, what special people see in you? What do you do best and why do they think so? Compare this with yourself, what warms you up and appeals to you most? And write it down.
  2. Find a quiet, comfortable place where you can reflect, take a piece of paper or a voice recorder and write down the answers to the questions:
  • What am I doing, do I like it or not?
  • What do I like to do? For those who find it difficult to find the answer to the first question, then write: what exactly do you not want to do?
  • If now there is no opportunity to change what you don’t like, how can you love this thing? Or what's good about this activity?

Very often, sooner or later, a person begins to be tormented by questions: “Who am I, why do I live on earth, and how to find my purpose in life?” The most difficult thing is to find the right answers, but not everyone succeeds. However, there are ways to find your path and walk along it with a happy smile.

Mission Definition Test

Psychologists offer a very simple test to determine your mission. Personally, I am a journalist by profession, and according to the results of the questionnaire, I turned out to be a Herald. So in my case we can say: the test works!

All questions are divided into groups. Need to answer "Yes" or "No", and at the end of the test count the number of positive answers. So, let's go!

Group A.

  1. Are strangers ready to tell you about themselves?
  2. How often do you hear people say: “It feels like we’ve known each other forever!”
  3. Telling other people how to improve their existence?
  4. Do you admit that you are giving truly wise advice?
  5. Do your friends often turn to you for support?

Group B.

  1. Do you like to read?
  2. Does it happen that when you look in the mirror, you start singing?
  3. Do you have an artistic gift?
  4. Do you like to invent new things?
  5. Does it happen that you start a new business, but often don’t finish it?

Group B.

  1. Do strangers like your touch?
  2. Do you often get asked for a massage?
  3. Do you like massage yourself and do you give it to yourself?
  4. Have you ever been able to heal someone from a distance?
  5. Has it often happened that electrical appliances broke down in your presence?

Group G.

  1. Do you think you could become a great doctor?
  2. Do you seem to understand the reasons for children's tears?
  3. Are you interested in new techniques?
  4. Did you often get sick as a child?
  5. Do you feel the need to help sick people and animals?

After counting the number of positive answers in each group, choose the one where the number of “yes” was maximum.

Group A. Teacher. Your mission is to help people. Path – jurisprudence, pedagogy, religion, psychology, volunteering, sales.

Group B. Herald. The main talents are communication and creativity. Path – creativity, journalism, design, architecture.

Group B. Healer. Your gift is an impact on the physical shell of a person. Path - medicine (including alternative), veterinary medicine, sports.

Group G. Energy. Vocation is working with energy shells. Path – chiropractic, physiotherapy, massage, Reiki.

Back to the roots

Despite its simplicity and sketchiness, this test really helps determine what exactly a person does best. But, unfortunately, a person’s destiny does not always become his profession. However, there is a way out, because you can devote your free time from work to your mission.

An example from life: I have a friend Olga. She works as a cook in a kindergarten; Moreover, he loves his job and is respected by his colleagues. However, for a long time Olya suffered from the thought that something in her life was not going at all as it should be.

Then she began to remember her childhood; I read the diaries of my youth; I thought about what her dreams were a long time ago... And I realized: she always liked helping people! Today Olya is a member of the volunteer movement, participating in garbage collection, cleaning water bodies, and greening the city. And she feels absolutely happy!

Therefore, advice “No. 1” for those who want to understand how to find their purpose in life: go back to the roots. Remember what interested and excited you most as a child; what your soul was originally about when choosing a profession... This way you can understand what exactly is your purpose.


By the way, according to the test, Olya belongs to the representatives of group A. And volunteering is indeed her element!

Meditation and prayer

The reason that a person cannot find his purpose for a long time is the bustle of the world around him. The information that enters the brain almost 24/7 is 97% garbage. It makes it difficult to separate the wheat from the chaff.

Meditation will help in this situation. Free yourself from thoughts for at least 30 minutes every day; dive into the depths of your subconscious; look for the answer to the question “how to find out your purpose?”

Prayer is also perfect for believers. By solitude in thoughts with God every day and asking him for help, you can find the answer to this question. The main thing is to distract yourself from the external bustle and your own problems.

Paper and pen to help

Finding your own path doesn't have to go too far. All you need to do is take a piece of paper and a pen to answer the following questions:
  • What is my favorite thing to do?
  • What would I do if I were a billionaire?
  • What areas of life do I pay attention to first?
  • What professions or lifestyles do I admire the most?
Thus, a vivid picture of individual interests, passions, and hobbies emerges. It is the answer to the question “how to understand your purpose?”

Just for fun, I asked my best friend Katya to answer these questions. It turned out that what she liked most was spending time with her daughter; having a huge fortune, she would give birth to two more children and travel around the world with her entire extended family; the “parental” topic is of interest; and admiration for large families. Needless to say, Katya’s true calling is motherhood. And, most importantly, she doesn’t deny it!

We say “no!” stereotypes

There are several other effective ways to determine your path. But first we need to free ourselves from a number of common stereotypes that haunt us all our lives. Here they are:
  • “The main thing is prestige!” It is not true. Today it is prestigious to be a lawyer, so most school graduates run to apply to the relevant faculty. But the very next day the trend changes, and economists come into fashion. Choose your path not based on the degree of prestige (this is just a publicity stunt), but according to your inner aspiration.
  • “Money comes first.” This is not entirely true: for some, the main thing is creativity; for others - family values; for others – internal harmony. Therefore, while striving for signs of well-being imposed by society, one can easily lose one’s own essence.
  • "Listen to your elders." Obeying mom and dad, of course, is good... But - up to certain limits. Very often, parents want to see themselves as “failed” in their children, and shift their ambitions onto them. However, each person has his own purpose, and it most often does not coincide with the opinion of his parents.
Regarding the last point, representatives of Western civilization should take the wise Japanese as an example. They offer their kids several items to choose from - a pen, a “gadget,” a book, a coin... Whatever the child chooses first is considered his purpose. Thus, parents do not impose their will on the child, but give him the right to seek his own destiny. After all, each of us must find our own path on our own.

Have you ever thought about what the meaning of your life is? “What am I living for? Is there something important that I absolutely need to do in life?” Most often, people ask themselves these questions between the ages of 36 and 42. And this is due to the fact that at this age we reconsider our life values, reevaluate what is important and what is not really important for us.

Perhaps you once succumbed to the influence of society or your close circle and chose the “wrong” occupation, the “wrong” profession, the “wrong” person. In other words, they didn’t make their own choice, they didn’t hear themselves. And for many now, at this age, the question remains unresolved: am I going the right way? Do I have a purpose and if so, what is it? About, how to find out your purpose, will be discussed in this article.

What is purpose

Different philosophical movements understand purpose differently, and some even deny it altogether.

But if you have the experience of viewing past lives, then you understand that there is a plan for each incarnation, and if you followed it, then you have a feeling of satisfaction at the end of life. But if you did not follow this soul plan, then in the end you will face disappointment, guilt or self-condemnation. The task is transferred to the next incarnation.

I support the view that each soul has a specific purpose that it needs to fulfill in most of its incarnations.

Such tasks of the soul can be grouped into 3-4 groups, and this point of view is supported by many philosophical movements of the past:

  • in the ancient Slavic tradition this is called “varna”: artisans, merchants, warriors, teachers
  • The ancient Greeks, in particular in Plato’s ideal government, have a similar division between people, called “estates”: the first estate - artisans, businessmen and peasants, the second - guards (warriors), the third estate - sages (philosophers),

and many other traditions.

As you can see, different times and different cultures, but by and large they are talking about the same thing.What underlies this division of people into groups?

4 types of destination

All these groups differ in their soul purpose. If you do not recognize the idea of ​​having a soul (as Buddhists do), then here we are talking about that subtlest part of our consciousness that is reborn from life to life. But Buddhists do not deny reincarnation.

These are the 4 types of destinations that the soul follows from incarnation to incarnation:

  1. To master some profession, to become a master in a profession, to find and use your talents for this, to work with your hands - this is the purpose of the “artisans” group. Many people also include Leonardo da Vinci in this group.
  2. Learning to trade, establishing communication, exchanging information is the purpose of “merchants”
  3. Serving other people, keeping their word, adhering to the concepts of duty and honor, defending the country, serving society, voters, the country - this is the purpose of “warriors”. For example, many politicians, military men, and company executives are just examples of people in this group.
  4. To store and transmit knowledge, including about the meaning of life, to teach not only the subject, but also spiritual truths, to bring love, wisdom and mercy - this is precisely the purpose of “teachers” or “philosophers”.

Reincarnation works through immersion within oneself, working with the subconscious, viewing past lives or early childhood.

Astropsychology is a method at the intersection between astrology and psychology and helps to see with what talents or unsolved problems a person came into this life.

In Reincarnation, the client works on his own, in immersion he “follows” the voice of the guide-consultant, and together we collect information from your past lives or images that come to you.

In Astropsychology, I look at your map of the planets at the time of birth (Formula of the Soul) and tell you what is written in it.If there are any unsolved problems (programs), then I, as a psychologist, tell you how to solve these problems.

For example, from the Soul Formula one can see such programs as:

  • “Don’t expect financial support from your husband, become a breadwinner yourself” (when this program exists, then any man, as soon as he becomes your husband, immediately takes on this program and ceases to be the breadwinner in the family)
  • “I’m looking for an ideal husband” (then there is a risk of taking a long time to get out and being left alone)
  • “all men are deceivers” (for such a woman, men deceive her or even cheat on her)
  • sacrificial love (such a person will feel like a victim in any relationship he creates)
  • high sensitivity (such a person will perceive any relationship as a problem)
  • negative karma of the genus (and then you need to watch ancestral programs)
  • and other programs brought from past lives.

The Formula of the Soul also clearly shows the purpose for the current life, as well as the type/types of activity that correspond to this purpose.

We come into this world for a reason. There is an opinion that each of us has our own mission on Earth, which we must fulfill in order to find happiness. And numerology will help you find out your purpose in life.

Life puts us in front of difficulties and problems for a reason - this is a sign that indicates that we are not fulfilling our purpose. Troubles and misfortunes will continue until a person understands his task and the meaning of existence in this world. Having fulfilled his destiny, he gets everything he dreamed of and finds happiness.

Numerologists suggest calculating your destiny using name numerology. Each letter of the alphabet corresponds to a specific number, which emits its own vibrations. By calculating the numerology of your name, you can find out your purpose in life right now.

Calculation of numerology of first name, last name and patronymic

  • 1 - these are the letters A, K, U, Ъ
  • 2 are the letters B, L, F, E
  • 3 are the letters B, M, X, Yu
  • 4 are the letters G, N, C, Z
  • 5 are the letters D, O, CH
  • 6 are the letters E, P, Sh
  • 7 are the letters Ж, Р, Ш
  • 8 are the letters Z, S, b
  • 9 are the letters I, T, Y

Using this numerology table, you need to find out the number of each letter in your first name, last name and patronymic, then add up all the resulting numbers and bring the result to a single digit by adding the numbers that make it up.

Here's an example:

  1. Maria 3+1+7+9+4=24
  2. Ivanovna 9+3+1+4+5+3+4+1=30
  3. Elina 6+2+9+4+1=22

The resulting numbers of the first name (24), last name (22) and patronymic (30) must be added: 24+22+30=76. The number 76 needs to be reduced to an unambiguous form, which means you need to add 7+6=13, then add 1+3=4.

Four in the above example will be the numerological number of the first name, last name and patronymic. By this number you can determine your purpose in life.

The meaning of numbers in name numerology

1 - your purpose is to lead people. By nature you are a leader. If you don’t feel like you have leadership qualities, then you need to develop them. When you begin to manage your life yourself and become a leader in any circle of people, your life will become much easier, and you will be able to achieve everything you want.

2 - your purpose is to create peace and tranquility around you. Your mission in life is to improve relationships with the people around you, reconcile those who have quarreled, and always stand up for the weak.

3 — your life goal is to convey your thoughts and worldview to the world. You need to express your emotions and aspirations more often in creativity: on paper, on canvas, in dance, etc. According to the numerology of the name, you are the bearer of everything beautiful that is in this world, and your task is to make life brighter, more colorful and kinder.

4 — your purpose is to create something useful for society. Your work must be useful to the world around you. If everything you do benefits only you, then you are not on the right path.

5 — your purpose is to bring positive emotions and goodness to people. You can fulfill your life purpose only when you begin to enjoy every day you live and love life, no matter what it is.

6 - your destiny is the continuation of the human race. When you find a family and achieve inner harmony, you can achieve true happiness.

7 - your purpose, according to the numerology of your name, is to bring knowledge to people, share your experience and guide them on the true path.

8 — your purpose is the parallel development of the spiritual and material in life. If you strive for one thing, then life will not be able to give you what you want.

9 - your purpose is to help people and compassion. Nines are called upon to help those in need and not demand anything in return.

Numerology of first and last names will help you find out your purpose and change your life for the better. Be happy and don't forget to press the buttons and
