There have been many exercises out there to discover your life purpose. Out of these exercises, I found the exercise recommended by Steve Pavlina to be the most helpful. I’ll be sharing how you can do this exercise in this article.

Set aside at least 30 minutes, with no distractions, before you start. If you feel that you are too busy to spare even 30 minutes, consider that 30 minutes is a minuscule investment for an output that will turn your whole life around.
