In general, people do not question much about their primary goals in life since they live locked in their daily obligations and tasks. This situation leads them to not always choose which are their main purpose in life, but to adapt to the guidelines that life itself imposes on them; However, giving life a purpose is one of the most important tasks that a human being should propose.
A life purpose is the primary objective that guides our daily actions, it is nourished by our passion, mission, vocation and profession. The life purpose is a completely subjective and individual characteristic and can change depending on the life cycle in which the person is, that is, it is not the same life purpose in childhood as in adulthood of a person.
Having a purpose in life serves to give our existence meaning. It constitutes a strong reason why we came to this world and justifies all our motivations around what we are going to do day by day. Linked to the above, having that primary orientation in life gives us the possibility of living full of hope in relation to our future.
In addition, it has been shown that people who have a clear purpose in life get more opportunities to move forward and leave behind painful situations and trauma from their past. According to specialists, when a person has a clear purpose in his life, he is filled with energetic and positive feelings that are channeled to achieve that goal, which allows distractions to be put aside and, as we mentioned, situations that can affect the emotional health of the people.
In this regard, living with a purpose induces us to think clearly and with focus, a factor that generates great benefit for ourselves and our environment. Having a clear purpose helps to inspire the people around us and make us associate with people who are congruent with our purpose, it helps us to relate to people who are in our same way of thinking.

As Mark Twain said "The two most important days of your life are the day you are born, and the day you find out why.
