Finding purpose in life is one of the most difficult things to figure out for most people especially in times of peril.One strategy and this is not a one size fits all but it might work for you.  Do a personal survey do some soul searching  talk to some unbiased friends, some coworkers generally you want people that will tell  you the truth about yourself or at least give their opinion even if u don’t agree just like in business if theirs an over abundance of the same information in terms of your talents or personality flaws then that should be an overwhelming indication (to you) that change is needed. Next, take the mental notes and start trying to make progress toward change. Some people never change which is the case in a lot of circumstances especially those who are older because the (Brain) is so use to functioning at the same capacity for so many years change is usually non-existent but we believe change is always possible that moment of clarity can come at some of the most unusual moments. But either way discipline is needed  prayer, meditation, and education cause it’s an on going process. In addition positivity and a unwavering value system is a must. Please remember if you don’t stand for something you will fall for anything. ~Balance Due.
