Striving for a “Purpose-Driven” Life

“Life is about creating yourself. Adoption shouldn’t result in a lifetime of finding yourself. Adoptees should strive to ‘create’ themselves to live a purpose-driven life. Don’t let the past hold you back. Everyone can choose their friends, vocations, and education.” Judith Land

“A purpose-driven life is based on pursuing and attaining worthwhile goals. When we pursue and attain worthy goals, we feel fulfillment. Actively working towards something that aligns with our values gives our lives meaning. This sense of purpose and accomplishment contributes to our overall well-being and satisfaction in life.” Judith Land

Life is a temporary assignment in preparation for eternal life. Living with a purpose gives you direction, focuses energy, and motivates you. Purpose and goal setting are vital to success—those who aspire to achieve lead to a healthier, longer, and happier life. Building positive friendships along the way truly enriches our lives.

Leaders inspire rather than sway followers. They have determination and perseverance. They stay focused on their goals. They are more resilient, highly organized, and unafraid of challenging work. They are motivated and never give up easily. Their sense of purpose incentivizes them to work hard to accomplish their goals defined by lifelong learning and a worthy vocation. 

One of the most telling signs that you’ve found your niche is when what you’re doing gives you a deep sense of satisfaction, knowing that your work, actions, and contributions are meaningful. If you are an adoptee contemplating the meaning of life, start with reflection: practice mindfulness, gratitude, and altruism to generate meaning and purpose.

Confidence, persistence, organization, getting along, and emotional resilience are the keys to a quality life. Purpose-driven individuals are happier. They are warm, considerate, respectful, helpful, and pleasant. They do not envy, jealousy, gossip, or complain. They use positive rather than negative language. Happy people focus on what works rather than what is problematic.

As an adoptee, strive for meaning and fulfillment in your actions. Strive to make a positive impact on the world. Set and pursue meaningful goals that lead to deep satisfaction and contentment. Setting meaningful goals provides direction and focus, creating deep satisfaction and fulfillment. When we have a clear purpose and work towards achieving our goals, we experience a profound sense of accomplishment and contentment, knowing that our actions and contributions have meaning and positively impact the world.
