What is Life Purpose and Why Does it Matter?

Have you ever wondered why some people seem so clear about the path they want to take, while others spend years—or even a lifetime—feeling uncertain or unfulfilled? At the heart of this question lies a concept that has fascinated thinkers, spiritual leaders, and psychologists for centuries: life purpose.

But what does “life purpose” really mean, and why should we care about it? Let’s explore.

What Is Life Purpose?

Life purpose is the overarching reason that gives our lives meaning and direction. It’s not just about what we do, but who we are and what we aspire to become. For some, their purpose is tied to their work—creating art, solving problems, or helping others. For others, it’s deeply personal and might revolve around relationships, personal growth, or simply living with intention.

In many ways, life purpose acts as a compass. It provides clarity when we face difficult decisions, motivation when times are tough, and a sense of satisfaction when our actions align with our deeper values.

Why Does It Matter?

  1. Guidance in Decision-Making

When you’re clear about your purpose, it becomes easier to make choices. You can evaluate opportunities and challenges by asking, “Does this align with what truly matters to me?” This clarity can save time and energy that might otherwise be spent on paths that don’t feel authentic.

  1. Increased Resilience

A strong sense of purpose has been linked to greater resilience. When you know your “why,” it becomes easier to navigate life’s inevitable ups and downs. Purpose acts as a foundation, helping you bounce back from setbacks with renewed determination.

  1. Enhanced Well-Being

Studies show that people who feel they are living a purposeful life experience higher levels of happiness and lower levels of stress. Purpose is a source of fulfilment, allowing us to feel that our lives have meaning beyond day-to-day tasks.

  1. Deeper Connections

Understanding your life purpose can also strengthen your relationships. When you live authentically, you’re more likely to attract like-minded people who resonate with your values and aspirations.

What If You’re Not Sure of Your Purpose?

If you’re feeling uncertain about your life purpose, know that you’re not alone. For many, finding purpose is a journey rather than a destination. It evolves over time as we grow, learn, and experience new things. The key is to stay open to self-reflection and exploration.

How to Align Your Goals with Your Values and Aspirations

As the new year begins, we’re often drawn to make resolutions – promises to ourselves to improve or achieve something. But how many times have you found yourself abandoning those resolutions by February? It’s not that you lack willpower or discipline; the problem often lies in the goals themselves. Many traditional resolutions focus on what we think we should do, rather than what truly aligns with who we are and what we value.

This year, I invite you to try a different approach: soulful goal setting where you align your goals with your values and aspirations

What Is Soulful Goal Setting?

Soulful goal setting isn’t about ticking boxes or chasing someone else’s version of success. It’s about creating goals that reflect your deepest values, your authentic aspirations, and the kind of person you want to become. Instead of looking outward for validation or direction, soulful goal setting starts with looking inward.

To help you get started, download our free Soulful Goal Setting Worksheet – it’s a simple tool to guide you through the process step by step.

This process encourages you to:

  • Reflect on your values: What matters most to you? What guides your decisions and actions?
  • Connect with your aspirations: What would a life of meaning and fulfilment look like for you?
  • Focus on being, not just doing: Who do you want to be as you work toward your goals?

Steps to Set Soulful Goals

Step One: Start with Reflection
Before setting any goals, take some time to reflect on the past year. What brought you joy? What drained your energy? What felt aligned with your values, and what didn’t?

Journaling prompts:

  • What are three things I’m proud of from last year?
  • What didn’t go as planned, and what did I learn from it?
  • What values did I live by most consistently?

Step Two: Identify Your Core Values
Your values are the foundation of soulful goals. Take a moment to write down the three to five values that matter most to you. These might include creativity, connection, growth, freedom, or service.

If you’re unsure of your values, our Soulful Path to Life Purpose programme includes an activity to help you uncover them.

Step Three: Envision Your Best Self
Imagine yourself at your best—living a life that feels purposeful and fulfilling. What does that look like? How do you spend your time? How do you feel? This vision can guide your goals.

Step Four: Set Intentional Goals
Once you’re clear on your values and vision, craft a small set of meaningful goals. Make them:

  • Specific: What exactly do you want to achieve?
  • Values-Aligned: How does this goal reflect your values?
  • Purpose-Driven: How does this goal help you become the person you want to be?

For example:

Instead of “Exercise more,” try: “Prioritize my health by moving my body in ways that feel joyful and energizing three times a week because I want to stay fit enough to play with my grandchildren and do activities with them.”

Instead of “Save money,” try: “Cultivate financial security by setting aside 10% of my income for future adventures because I value growing and learning through exploration and pushing myself outside of my comfort zone.”

Staying Soulfully Committed

Setting soulful goals is only the beginning. Staying committed requires regular reflection and recalibration. Make time each month to check in with your goals. Ask yourself:

  • Are these goals still aligned with my values?
  • Am I making progress in ways that feel fulfilling?
  • What adjustments do I need to make?

This ongoing process is something we explore in depth in Soulful Path to Life Purpose. The programme offers tools and activities to help you stay connected to your values, aspirations, and best self throughout the year.

A Year of Meaning and Purpose Awaits

As you set your intentions for the year, remember that soulful goals aren’t about perfection—they’re about alignment. When your goals come from a place of authenticity and purpose, you’re more likely to follow through, not because you have to, but because you want to. If you’re ready to start your journey, we’ve created a free downloadable worksheet to guide you through the process.
