15 Questions to Discover Your Life Purpose

15 Questions:

1. What makes you smile? (Activities, people, events, hobbies, projects, etc.)

 Being with my loved friends; rock climbing; doing weight training; teaching a good boot camp class; being productive at work and church; when I can make a difference in others' life; be a good listener when needed; give positive, constructive feedback to encourage others; when God speaks to me and shows His presence; when I sing; when I hear good music and good testimony; when I am inspired.

2. What are your favorite things to do in the past? What about now?

 My fav things were watching tv, eating junk food, hanging out with partner/friends; walking through Walmart/shopping malls, reading fictions.

Now I rarely watch TV nor shop nor read fictions nor shop. I spend more time being with my best friend who is a good spiritual mentor and I spend time reflecting the day and week with God; I spend time serving and volunteering at church, exercising alone, browsing through grocery stores for creativity, and working.

3. What activities make you lose track of time?

Sleep, chatting with friends, enjoying down time with a cup of tea/coffee, reading a good book, reflecting the day/week, doing house chores.

7. What do people typically ask you for help in?
8. If you had to teach something, what would you teach?
9. What would you regret not fully doing, being or having in your life?
10. You are now 90 years old, sitting on a rocking chair outside your porch; you can feel the spring breeze gently brushing against your face. You are blissful and happy, and are pleased with the wonderful life you’ve been blessed with. Looking back at your life and all that you’ve achieved and acquired, all the relationships you’ve developed; what matters to you most? List them out.
11. What are your deepest values?

13. What causes do you strongly believe in? Connect with?
14. If you could get a message across to a large group of people. Who would those people be? What would your message be?

Hi Henry,

Thank you for sharing your story with the Lord. 

The Lord first attracted my attention through beautiful nature in my teen years. I remembered spending time thinking what's my purpose of life?
Later I was invited to church events and BBQ, etc. I didn't trust the people at church so I rarely went to church.
God led me to start joining prayer meetings and experienced the influx of energy and joy after each meeting. Praying for people actually brings me energy and joy. When I prayed to God in my hard time, He answered me and changed my bad mood to happy mood in hours. I knew someone heard my prayer.
I gradually get to know more about Jesus and the bible through attending church and fellowship. Through Sunday School, I learned that our Lord treasures and values me, He has an unique purpose for me. This really touches me as I struggle with low self worth through parent's criticism. Slowly I committed my life to Jesus.
I got baptized in 2007 and started serving as one of the leaders in my young adult fellowship and worship team.
God continued to show me who He is and I finally understood the power of the cross years after my baptism.

I am looking for someone who values God as his #1, chases after Him, leads me and family, and walks with me in good and bad time.
What do you long for in a marriage/family?

Thank you!
Maggy

Hi Maggie,

Thank you for your sharing.
In my pursue for marriage, i love to have holy spirit guide my path in meeting and courting a sister who share the same faith and interest in Jesus's leadership in life as this should be our priority.
I enjoy having my life lead by God yet i have shortcoming in my temper during high stress. I consistently let God mode me and i continue to serve him in such a way that i would love him more than love myself so that i can continue to grow in his likeness.

Hi Henry,

I finally finished an inner healing course for the last 10 days. I'm physically exhausted but more clear spiritually/emotionally. Praise God for opening my eyes.

I'm so glad I can leave my stressful work behind and enjoy my weekend! Enjoy your weekend!

Thanks for your sharing!

Since October 2015-March 2016, I started a journey that is full of excitement, pain, suffering, self discoveries, torment, heartache, anxiety, and support from friends. It's been rewarding yet overwhelming physically and emotionally. I couldn't grasp the time and words to express.

In summaries:
1. At age 32, I realize that my mom rarely accepted and affirmed me throughout my life. This shaped me into a person who lacks self esteem, confidence, self acceptance and hope. I'd become anxious to make any small or big decision; to speak up; to stand firm. I always give in when people pressure me. This cause a great deal of pain in my life.

2.
