Purpose is:

Find your sense of joy!
To some or many, ‘finding your purpose’ in life can involve and mean many things: such as understanding your self-worth in life, gain fulfilment of basic needs, accomplishments and achievements, freedom and independence. To achieve these things we can then feel like we are contributing and impacting the world in a good way. When we reach this point in our lives we feel like we would then be accepted and understood and we can pursue our passion – you can wake up to love what you are doing everyday – a sense of joy.
