Everyone has struggled with finding their purpose at some time or another. It is important to realize that it takes some people their whole lives to understand their purpose truly. As a college student, trying to find your purpose in the world can add a tremendous amount of pressure on top of everything you are already experiencing. Here a few quotes to remember when you are overwhelmed about finding your purpose.
“Stay Patient and Trust the Journey”
Sometimes we find ourselves overwhelmed about what’s next. We should try to relax, enjoy life, and see where we end up. Going with the flow can help us develop love and interest in things we would otherwise have missed out on.
“The Foolish Seek Happiness In the Distance, The Wise Grow it Underneath Their Feet”
We get caught up in thinking about our careers and where we will be in 10 years, that we forget to use the “now” to our advantage. When looking so far into the future, we get anxious thinking that it may not go according to plan. However, focusing on things that make you happy now, can lead to finding your purpose.
“This Be Above All; To Thine Own Self Be True”
No matter what you hear from your parents, professors, or peers, you are finding what makes YOU happy. Often, we identify our “purpose” with what others make us believe our purpose is. We should focus on our amazing qualities that make us unique and put that above everything and everyone else. Your purpose is different from another person’s ,so focus on finding yourself and listen to your heart.
“Your Life Is Important, Your Story Is Important, Your Dreams Count, Your Voice Matters, You Were Made To Make An Impact“
When struggling with finding our purpose, we can feel so small, like our life is not important. Everyone’s life is important. Whether we know our purpose or not, we all have our own roles. Your life and everything you stand for is what should guide your purpose.
“Your Time Is Not Everyone Else’s Time”
College surrounds you with people who have practically known their destiny since birth. We feel that life is passing us by ,and we are the only ones feeling that we lack purpose. However, just because a person already knows their purpose, does not mean that you should know yours yet. A purpose is something that was carefully made specifically for you. There are things that need to be discovered, developed, and experienced before your true purpose will be revealed.
Just remember to not get discouraged. Your time is coming to understand your purpose, and you will be amazing at it. You have your own talents, interests, and passions. Remember to stay true to yourself and do not be discouraged by other people's successes. You are here for a reason and that reason is to make an impact in the world and the lives of others.
