The two things that keep you from finding your purpose

You might think there are many things that prevent people from finding their true purpose. They’re comfortable where they are and don’t want to rock the boat. They have it all – money, family, house – and are fooling themselves into thinking they’re fulfilled. Or maybe they just don’t have time . The truth is that there are only two things that prevent you from answering the question, “ What is my purpose ?”

1. Certainty . The need for stability and predictability is one of our deepest human needs . Routines help us conserve mental energy, and staying in our comfort zones can keep us from feeling anxious and getting hurt – emotionally and physically. But it also prevents growth. It keeps us in unfulfilling jobs and unhealthy relationships . It prevents us from finding purpose.
