Find Bliss; Find Purpose; Find Contentment!

We all strive to find our bliss and be content in life, right? Everyone I know, including myself, strives to feel contentment and to be successful with their personal, family, career, and spiritual lives; to enjoy, love, and have fun in life... to find bliss!

To find bliss begins with understanding your life purpose. Many people go through life not sure of what their purpose in life is. So here are some ways to help you find purpose and to find bliss.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Step 1

Consider what you would change about your life then learn how to implement new ways to make the change happen. If you're unhappy with some things, or many things in your life, implement change now. A lack of contentment gets in the way of you being able to find bliss and distracts you from being able to find your life purpose. Look for new opportunities, fresh ideas, and different behavior patterns that bring more joy and contentment into your life.
Step 2

Consider the qualities other people would use to describe you; more importantly, how would you describe yourself? The terms you use to describe yourself can help you to determine what motives you and what excites you. Understanding what motivates and excites you can help you to find purpose in your life. The things that get you excited about life are what will help you to find bliss.
Step 3

Think about what activities are most important to you. Make some time each day to find bliss by creating “you time” that allows you to do activities that add purpose in life. By doing an activity that is relaxing and enjoyable to you, you are making a statement to yourself and to others that you are important and worthy of having contentment in your days.
Step 4

Figure out what activities you enjoy participating in the most. You can find purpose and find bliss by seeking opportunities where you can implement doing things that are enjoyable to you.
Step 5

Have appreciation for the simple pleasures in life; to find joy in the ordinary; to love with no expectations; to savor the present moment; to find work and activities that brings pleasure and fulfills your life purpose; to continue to learn and grow and evolve. True wealth is contentment with what you have. Bliss comes from contentment and contentment comes from appreciating things that are a part of your life.
Step 6

Figure out what is most significant to helping you find bliss by listing ten things that you want in your life. Some things to consider that may help you find purpose are:

What things do you value most in your life?
What are the most important goals in your life right now and how can you achieve them?
What would you do if you won one million dollars tax free?
How would you spend your time if you only had six months to live?
What have you always wanted to do, but was too afraid to try?
What gives you the greatest feeling of importance?
What one thing would you dare to dream if you knew you could not fail?
What final words would you like to have written about you on your tombstone or in your obituary?
How would you like yourself and your life to be remembered?

Fulfill your purpose in life daily, by working towards fulfilling the things you wrote about a little bit each day.
Step 7

To find purpose is about finding out who you are and what you want out of life and striving to be that person all the time. This means that you must break free from the pack and pave your own path in life. Listen to your inner urges, rather than the expectations set by those around you. Remember that this is YOUR life. When you listen to your inner voice to find bliss and to find purpose that belongs specifically to you, you'll have a life of abundance and contentment.
