What is Your Purpose
Your purpose is what motivates you to go on with your journey in life. It is something that fuels you to do things and create more useful thoughts. This is where your creative thinking is triggered. By knowing your purpose, it should be much easier for you to use your creative thinking skills, allowing you to achieve your goals in the most creative way possible.
What exactly is your purpose and how will you find it if you don’t know what it is? 
No matter what motivates you to jump out of bed each morning, regardless of what makes you excited, or no matter what your true passion is, it probably has something to do with your purpose. As a person, you have your own distinctive format through which you like to live your purpose.
As you work towards defining your purpose in life, something that you can do to help is exploring and experiencing through creativity, allowing you to rediscover the real meaning of life. Creativity and creative thinking can set your mind free to consider all options rather than being bound by the confines of your life so far. Since you yourself are the only one who can define your own purpose, you have the free will to choose how you want it to be.
Know Your Purpose
Do you want your purpose to be solely focused on your family, career, the community or to the whole world? Creative thinking often helps to uncover your purpose. You do not want to have a purpose purely because it was suggested to you, that may well be that other persons purpose, not yours.. Of course, you want something that only you can have and need to think about the ways in which you will accomplish them.
The enthusiasm to be in complete trust of your quest should enable you to learn a number of life lessons which will eventually offer you the best rewards that life has to offer. Be sure to define your intent in the most creative way with the right skills at hand and this will ensure that you will be on the right track.
Define Your Motivator
Just like your purpose, motivation has a lot to do with the way you achieve your goals. It is a fuel that accelerates you when you feel like giving up on achieving what you want. With a high enough level of creative thinking, it should be easy for you to identify the things that motivate. Know how to give applicable definitions to your motivators using this article.
Motivation can drive Creative Thinking
Knowing how to determine your motivators in life is a major factor that will help you live a more fulfilled and happier life. Indeed, people have aspirations, goals and dreams in life and achieving them can be a great source of happiness and fulfillment in living.
You might have goals to lose weight, plans to achieve success in your relationship or career or dreams to pursue an interest or passion. However, without proper motivation, all of these may stay as dreams, goals and plans, particularly when you’re not motivated enough to achieve them and turn them into a reality.
Certainly, you would like to see your real worth in life and it can be attained by being able to perform things that you really like, things you are capable of, do something for others and make yourself and other people happy. When you seem to have an insufficient amount of motivation try some of the following tips to boost it back up.
Stay Positive
Positive thoughts play a significant role in your life’s outlook and in providing you with motivation to reach your goals. If you stay optimistic while thinking that you can accomplish a task assigned to you, or by thinking that you will be able to obtain your goals, you should feel motivated to take the necessary steps needed to achieve it.
There are many books and courses in Self Help that can help. You Tube videos can also be a good source for Personal Development and Self Help.
Seek Inspiration From Around You
Inspiration, whatever the source: nature’s beauty, the relationships you have with the people around you, such as family, friends and co workers can provide positive effects. This helps you to be more positive and motivated to finish things you start. So having a good rapport with the people in your life really helps.
Deal With Stress in your life for your Health
Stressed and tired bodies will most likely result in motivation insufficiency, preventing you from doing your tasks. Perform exercises on a daily basis. This will not only make you physically stronger, but it will also improve your mood which will help you to effectively deal with different challenges in life every day.
Break Your Routine
One of the many things which may contribute to motivation insufficiency is executing the same thing each day and being stuck in a routine without knowing your direction in life. Sometimes, it is good to explore new opportunities, discover other interests and develop new skills. Do not be afraid of taking risks, exploring new ways of obtaining your goals and getting out of your comfort zone sometimes to explore new things you find around and make the most out of new life opportunities.
Know The Purpose Of Everything You Do
Most likely, you feel motivated when there is some sense of need to do something. Coming up with the purpose of why you are living your life every day will really make things easy, as it helps you maintain your motivation. Having your efforts dedicated to something you treasure and love can also turn out to be a good motivator. Whatever challenges you need to face in life, as long as you think of it as something you do for your loved ones, you will certainly find yourself feeling motivated and confident to do it.
With the right mind-set and creative thinking, you should find it easy to define your motivator. Once you execute all these pointers you can easily and quickly spot the things that give you motivation and be able to use them for further development of your skills. To find your motivation and purpose in life, you need not look too far. You should realise that searching for motivation in life may guide you in living a happier, more fulfilling and better life. Which is why you need to make sure that you do it for yourself.

hi, an awesome topic for a post. My main motivator is to acquire passive income that I will use for my trip to my dream island – this is my answer to question WHY. I work on my positive attitude every day – I want it to become a habit. Thank you for writing this post, after reading it, I found more WHY’s around me. Looking forward to your future posts.
I am glad you enjoyed the post and found it helpful.
The more you focus on being positive the easier it will be to get rid of negative thoughts and habits. Have a good ‘Why’ is an excellent motivator.
Good luck for the future.
This is a very good post you shared. I like the way you have given information on how to stay motivated. I think before one gets motivated, there should be a purpose, a sought of reason to be motivated. I believe that as time goes by everyone needs this. Your post is really inspiring for me and it really touched me. I’m going to share this so others as well can get inspired too.
I am pleased that you enjoyed the post and found it helpful Suz.
Occasionally having a purpose is the motivating factor.
Sometimes searching for a purpose motivates us and moves us forward in our lives. The motivation to find a true purpose can help a person to keep going until they do find it.
Thank you for commenting.
Your article is so inspiring!…as a doctor I am always energize to perform the demands of my profession especially at these unprecedented times of uncertainties, every day is a work day to help the needy and the sick…I know that the health care industry are very thinly overstretched and overwhelmed but I am happy with my work. As a front liner, feeling very stressed all the time is a stark reality, I just visit my small garden and do some clean-up for my green “friends” and voila I was renewed again and my problems had disappeared , I sometimes innovate and upgrade myself with new medical and unrelated courses to redirect and unleashed the monotony of being a doctor, and after that, I am ready again to face again the challenges of my professional work demands. thank you for the share. keep safe always!
Sounds as though you have found your purpose in life and that you are good at it.
It is wonderful how renewing nature can be for us, physically and mentally, enabling us to continue to do what we do. I am glad you can find ways to reduce the stress of your job and aid you in coping so well.
I expect you also benefit from meditation. Here in the UK doctors recommend it to patients as it can help so much as well as walking in nature.
Pleased you enjoyed the blog post, thank you for your comments. Stay safe too.
