Do you want to know how to find your purpose in life<\/a>? Can having a purpose<\/a> lead to having more grit?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Purpose is one of the four major components of grit<\/a>. But figuring out how to find your purpose<\/a> in life can be challenging. It’s important that you find your purpose so you have something to work toward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep reading to find out how to find your purpose in life<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

How to Find Your Purpose in Life<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you have interest in your work and conduct deliberate practice<\/a>, you\u2019ll make progress. But ultimately, if you don\u2019t believe your work matters and contributes things of value, you will find it difficult to maintain your work for a long time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This leads to the third component of grit: purpose. Purpose, as defined here, is “the intention to contribute to the well-being of others.”<\/strong> Think about this when considering how to find your purpose in life<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grit and Purpose<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You need purpose to have grit. But how do you know how to find your purpose in life? Duckworth found that universally, grit paragons extend the benefits of their achievement to a level beyond themselves<\/strong> \u2013 other people (like their children or clients) or an abstract concept (society, my country, science). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Evolutionarily, we may developed a drive for altruism, because a cooperative species thrives more than the individual. Altruism improves grit by both sustaining passion (because your goals are more important) and perseverance (because you fight harder for goals that you care more about).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a possible confound here where grittier people may take on jobs that are generally accepted to have more purpose (like being a doctor), making the purpose questions easier to answer. However, across a range of careers, Amy Wrzesniewski has found similar proportions of people who consider their occupations a job, a career, or a calling. Among secretaries and garbage collectors, there are people who find their work purposeful and those who don\u2019t. So how do you find your purpose in life? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Self-Enjoyment vs Helping Others<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Gritty people show a greater interest in purpose than non-gritty people. There are at least two large ways of achieving happiness: pleasure (self-centered enjoyment) and purpose (outward-benefiting). People of all grit levels show similar amounts of pleasure in their work, but grittier people tend to feel a greater sense of purpose<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It may seem that self-oriented and other-oriented motivations are on opposite sides of the spectrum, but research has found that they\u2019re independent. You can have neither, and you can have both. You can at once want to be the most successful person, while at the same time helping others. People who have both self-oriented and other-oriented motives tend to be the most productive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: do gritty people naturally empathize with people and want to be altruistic? Or can you develop purpose, which in turn makes you grittier? Is this malleable? The book doesn\u2019t address this.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jobs vs Careers vs Callings<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

It’s important to note the difference between jobs and careers when thinking about how to find your purpose in life. Here\u2019s an illustrative story. Three bricklayers are asked, “what are you doing?” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • The first says, “I am laying bricks.” <\/li>
  • The second says, “I am building a church.” <\/li>
  • The third says, “I am building the house of God.”<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    The first bricklayer has a job. The second has a career. The third has a calling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Defined further, people who have jobs<\/strong> are interested only in the material benefits from work, and don\u2019t receive other rewards from it. The work is not an end in itself. People who have careers<\/strong> have deeper personal investment and enjoy advancement within the organizational structure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    People who have callings<\/strong> find their work inseparable from their life \u2013 the work is personally fulfilling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    (Shortform example: a reporter visited the SpaceX factory floor and asked someone what he was working on. The SpaceX worker replied, “the mission of SpaceX is to make humans a multiplanetary species. To accomplish this, we need to lower the cost of rockets by making them reusable. I work on the guidance system that helps the rocket be reusable.” These employees see their work as closely aligned to the company\u2019s broad, humanity-wide purpose. Surely they feel a strong sense of purpose in their day-to-day work.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Now that you know how to find your purpose in life, you can consider how to pursue that purpose. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
