Purpose will be unique for everyone. 2 What s more, your purpose can actually shift and change

throughout life in response to the evolving priorities and continual change of your own experiences.

Questions that may come up when you reflect upon your life purpose are: Who am I? Where do I

belong? When do I feel fulfilled?

Some people feel hesitant about pursuing their life purpose because they worry that it sounds like a

selfish quest ( 追 求). 3 You could play beautiful music for others to enjoy, help friends solve

problems, or simply bring more joy into the lives of those around you.

Questions about life purpose may arise at any time in life. However, you may notice that they are

especially common during times of transition(转变期). 4 Moving into new stages of life opens up the

way for new possibilities to emerge, allowing our life purpose to evolve. But this can also prompt physical,

mental, emotional, and spiritual transitions and even a chaotic period as we begin to ask new questions.

5 As we do, at different stages of our lives, we find different questions and different possibilities.
