 One of the most common things people want in life is to find a purpose in life. Whether we know it or not, it can be hard to attain.

Before you start thinking about your life's purpose, it's important that you first think about what it is that you want to achieve in life. Most of the time, our ideas about what it is that we want to achieve come from our families and communities. For instance, if we want to get married and have kids, then it's likely that we'll want to earn a certain amount of money in order to achieve this.

Unfortunately, many of the achievements that people make in life don't bring the fulfillment that they're looking for. A personal sense of purpose is more than just a goal. It's a way of being able to make a positive impact on the world around us. Finding your purpose through God and Christianity is a highly beneficial journey to truly understanding yourself. Below are tips on how to find your ultimate purpose.

Focus On A Growth Mindset
Having a growth mindset is very important to be able to identify and pursue your purpose in life. It can help you constantly improve and become a better version of yourself.

Give Back To Others
Being able to give back to others can also help boost your sense of purpose and meaning in life. This is because it allows you to help others in a way that can also benefit you.

You can also find ways to be of service by volunteering in your local community or donating your skills and money to a cause that's close to your heart. Doing random acts of kindness can also help boost your happiness.

Practice Gratitude
A study conducted by the prosociality organization revealed that focusing on gratitude and acts of altruism can help strengthen the participants' sense of purpose.

Although it can be very beneficial to practice gratitude, it can be a bit awkward at first. We tend to get used to our negative thoughts, so switching them to the positive can feel unnatural.

To start practicing gratitude, try writing down at least three to five things that you feel grateful for each morning or night.

Find A Community That You Enjoy
Being able to be part of a community can also help boost your sense of purpose. It can help you feel connected to others and make you feel good about yourself.

When you find a purpose, you'll also realize that there are many people out there who share your values, interests, and passions.

The best life purpose is to serve God with your heart, mind, soul and strength. Jesus seeks disciples. Make him your magnificent obsession!
