Anjali Lavania Instagram – What is My Life Purpose? 1, Your life purpose is that motivating factor that gives you direction. 2, It will inspire you to want to get up in the morning and take action. 3, It gives meaning to your life and your very existence. “In a study published in the Journal of Positive Psychology, Jennifer Aaker of Stanford Graduate School of Business, surveyed 397 people over a month-long period, examining whether people thought their lives were meaningful or happy. They found 3 key differences between meaningfulness and happiness: 1 Happiness was linked to being a taker rather than a giver, whereas meaningfulness went with being a giver rather than a taker. 2 Getting what you want and need: While satisfying desires was a reliable source of happiness, it had nothing to do with a sense of meaning. 3 Self and personal identity: If happiness is about getting what you want, then meaningfulness is about expressing and defining yourself. A life of meaning is more deeply tied to a valued sense of self and one’s purpose in the larger context of life and community. The unhappy but meaningful life involves difficult undertakings and can be characterized by stress, struggle, and challenges. However, while sometimes unhappy in the moment, these people – connected to a larger sense of purpose and value – make positive contributions to society. Happiness without meaning is characterized by a relatively shallow and often self-oriented life, in which things go well, needs and desires are easily satisfied. The meaningful life guides actions from the past through the present to the future, giving one a sense of direction. It offers ways to value good and bad alike.
