Life Purpose Statement

Fulfillment

Degree
For three years I worked hard, I sacrificed a lot and I dedicated myself to earning my Bachelors Degree in Computer Games Design. I learned the value of commitment, persistence and hard work. I felt great pride and satisfaction when I completed the course with a 2.1 Honours because I knew I had earned it.

Birth
The birth of my daughter provided one of the biggest senses of fulfillment in my life, and she continues to provide this consistently. I learned a lot about sacrifice and selflessness. I felt overwhelming joy and paternal attachment that far exceeds any bond I ever thought possible; pure unconditional love.

Drugs
Overcoming my addiction to marijuana and cocaine. After years of battling with addiction, and constant relapses, I finally managed to persevere and succeed in my commitment to get sober. I feel immense pride and contentment knowing that I'd managed to beat a crippling disease that many others are not so fortunate to achieve.

Court
After an expensive and painful court battle over my daughter, I finally won and was able to partake entirely in her life. I learned a lot about despair, grief and loss during those months; I also learned a lot about perseverance, dedication and duty. I felt relief and joy when justice was served and I was awarded access.

Promotion
Being promoted at work to Manager after years as a Supervisor, and initially a Technician. During the preceding years I learned a lot about the value of teamwork, interpersonal bonds and workplace ethics. I grew professionally and widened my skill set considerably to justify the promotion. I felt appreciated, recognised and valued when I earned the promotion.

Debt
I accrued a lot of personal debts to the tune of £16,000, frivolously squandering it on recreational drugs. I was offered the opportunity to declare bankruptcy, and wipe the debts. Instead I chose to dutifully repay them. This experience taught me about humility and integrity. I have still got a couple of years left to go before these are paid off in total, but I feel pride and morally superior with each debt that I settle, knowing that I did not take the easy way out like most others do.

Novel
Completing the first draft of my novel Lightfade. Okay, so this one is admittedly a bit of a stretch, but I am almost there! Through writing my novel I have learned about focus, persistence and accepting criticism. I have learned that my ability is not infallible and that success requires sacrifice and hard work. I already feel pride for completing something that many others never will; authoring a book.


The Perfect World

In my idea of a perfect world. everybody would feel safe, loved, valued and secure. We would all have fulfillment, purpose and be content with our lives. We would all accept each other with compassion and understanding. We would be kind, generous and selfless toward each other.

In my bid to achieve this perfect world, I commit to becoming more attuned to the needs and values of others. I will make a concerted effort to be more empathetic, attentive, supportive and compassionate. I will overcome my critical nature and my tendency to belittle others. I will show gratitude and appreciation for what I have, rather than being shackled by expectations of what I want.

By embodying these characteristics I will help to deliver my perfect world into actualisation.


Life Purpose Statement

The purpose of my life is to selflessly foster a world where everybody feels content, loved and valued, using my empathy, love, support, and gratitude in order to provide a sense of appreciation, respect and unconditional acceptance for all.

I will embody my purpose by connecting positively and productively with others who require love and compassion. I will display my gratitude openly and honestly. I will be more accepting of differing opinions and perspectives.
