Imagine yourself at 90 years old, sitting on the couch looking at pictures of your life with your grandkids. Are the stories you share with them ones of a life filled with magic, joy and extraordinary (as you define them) accomplishments?

Creating a spirit infused life is one that is formed from a deep and guided sense of purpose. There are so many benefits of creating your life on “purpose.” Here are some empowering benefits, I’ve found.  

Personal Development

Identifying what interests you and gives you purpose will motivate and inspire you to gain new skills. You’ll find that you are driven to learn and grow so that you can achieve the goals you’ve set for yourself. Finding your true purpose is a powerful personal development tool in and of itself. Following it will provide you with the opportunity to grow and develop as a person and a leader.

Focus

Increased focus is one of the major benefits of following your passion and living a spirit infused life. This is because you will have defined exactly what you want to achieve and how you will achieve it. Goal setting and planning will be invaluable tools to help you to focus on creating positive change in yourself and your life.

Motivation

Having a clear purpose that drives you and is your inspiration for creating change in your life will power the momentum to keep you moving towards your goals. By constantly monitoring your progress towards your goals and plans, you will be motivated to keep growing and striving for more. By having an inspired purpose, you will be driven by a burning internal desire to feel the success of achieving targets and goals each step of the way. 

Happiness

Living a purposeful life will increase your sense of happiness and well-being. Having goals and a reason to get up in the morning are very powerful tools and will help you feel a sense of satisfaction, encouragement, and success. All of these positive emotions will help you realize that you are the master of your destiny and that you have the ultimate power to change your life.

Better Health

As you improve your life and outlook by taking positive action each day, you will begin to notice that you feel happier and that your stress and anxiety levels diminish. By finding your true purpose, you will discover that you want to take better care of yourself and your health so that you can continue working towards your goals and achieving the life you ultimately desire and deserve.

Remember, although you may be powered up by this new inner drive, you need to plan time for regular exercise, breaks, healthy meals, snacks as well as getting enough sleep. That way you will have the energy and stamina to keep going for your goals. 

Self-Knowledge

Living a life of purpose and passion will enable you to grow as a person. It will open doors to interests and networks that will stretch you mentally, emotionally and, possibly even, physically. As you follow these new paths, you will discover more about yourself, your interests and needs. The process of creating goals and reviewing them as you progress to creating the life you truly desire will actually become enjoyable because you have a clear purpose and end-goal in mind. 

There are many benefits to creating and living a purpose-driven life. What is getting in your way of living a life that is truly spirit infused and purpose-filled?
