Finding your purpose

I am more and more convinced that we are living in extremely challenging times. These challenges not only compromise our minds, capabilities, health, beliefs and economy among other things; but also these challenges especially compromise our well-being as human beings; that is why we are in a permanent search.

Throughout our lives challenges will be constantly knocking at our doors. Perhaps the greatest  challenge of all lies in identifying our purpose in life (what a task!) and if we are fortunate enough  to understand what this is, then another challenge will follow: structure it, "feed it" and then re-create it or even modify it so that it  has a meaning in the different stages of our lives.

In this sense, it is inevitable to ask how we find our purpose in life ... I guess there is no single formula to answer this question with multiple and complex answers. However, someone very wise told me that to really find our purpose in life is to be willing to live different experiences but above all to be attentive to what they make us feel. The key therefore is to be able to listen, feel and even savour our experiences, even the most insignificant ones, since any of them could be the compass that guides our future life.
