Discovering your role in life

Now and then, people might ask themselves, “What is my purpose in life?” It is a fundamental question, and when it pops up, individuals start looking for the answer in self-help books. They search for much-needed peace in their souls but usually mistake it for money, success, or fame. Of course, those self-help books might provide guidelines, and people can achieve it all with the right motivation. But does the answer always feel fulfilling? Do the books answer their question?The first step to decoding your life purpose is understanding that life is not random. Everything that happens is part of a bigger plan set by someone greater than you. You're not here by accident; even if your parents did not plan to have you, it does not mean God didn't either. He intended everything — your appearance, the family you live with, your traits and talents, and your life path.God made you as unique as you are, and the role you have to fulfill is not related to your job or daily tasks. That's why self-help books focusing solely on your professional and personal aspirations won't be fulfilling; they bring temporary pleasures and achievements. To discover your life purpose, you must turn to your Creator, God. He created you so He could love you, and God has all the answers you need.
