Learn About The Definiteness of Purpose Today!
18th September 2023
In this article, we will study the definiteness of purpose, how we know it exists, why it’s important to know more about it, and what you think about it, personally. In life, it has been established scientifically that what makes most people fail is not lack of anything else such as money or materials, but lack of a definite purpose. If you want to succeed in life just as I do, read this article.
What Is Definiteness of Purpose?
This is another ways of saying have a life purpose, but that is not just it. A purpose in this case is very clear to you and definite. You define it. You know its features and functions. This is where most people get it wrong. They think life just happens and so it does happen to them. However, if you define your purpose clearly, that will give you a sense of a destination.
One of the well-known teachers of personal achievement, Napoleon Hill, taught much about this concept, this idea. This is because it works hand in hand with what he also called the mastermind principle. Hill learned these success mindset laws from people like Andrew Carnie of the Great American Steel Company.

I call definite of purpose, mindset. I call it purpose, a life purpose. It is the thing that drives all other aspects of your life including your source of information, friends and peers, mentors and teachers. When you know your life purpose, you will choose to feed it with what is in line with it, something that will help it to grow as it should.
Definite purpose comes in different sizes and colors. Many different people refer to it under different names mostly with different purposes altogether. But as we look at the concept in this article, it simply means that well defined purpose for an individual. As I have already said, it is the anchor for the rest of your life’s elements.
Without a clear purpose, you will have no clear destiny, and without a destiny, there is no destination. A plane leaves an airport with a destination in the minds of its pilots. This should be the same in life. Even though life still happens, it’s recommended we have a vision, individual vision, and then plan to meet that, every day.
Regardless of our plans, life happens, but this shouldn’t stop us from having a life’s definite purpose, or life’s main purpose as some people would like to call it. This is not an excuse for not having a personal vision. For example, my life’s definite purpose is to inspire others to live in peace with themselves, God, other people, and with the rest of creatures around them: to complete peaceful living. I believe it’s very possible to live in peace in this world of conflict of all kinds.
Because of that definite purpose, I am writing these articles, hoping to inspire you to discover your true self, and gradually improve that personality, instead of trying or wishing to become someone you are not, naturally. It’s not bad to wish things into being, but when it comes to things like personality, you are unique.
You can’t therefore wish yourself into a different personality. You can’t even manage to become one no matter how you try doing it. This is because it seems to me that you are the only you on the face of the earth. There was no one like you. There is no one like you now, and there will be no one like you in the future. This is truth, scientifically.
How Do We Know About The Definiteness of Purpose?
We can read about it in articles such as this one. We can read about it in books. We can watch people or listen to people talking about the definiteness of purpose online and offline as well. There is a lot of content about this topic just as there are many about any other known topic these days. In other words, information is free, online.
However, not everything we find online is authentic, and therefore we have to be very careful about how to use it. Lots of articles are out there, and many of them are not on reality. They are written by people who didn’t do their research first before writing, neither sooner after writing them. This calls for a concern for you, the reader.
We can know about the definiteness of purpose from ourselves, just as I was giving you my example above. But the fact is that I only defined my purpose after reading Hill’s book, Think and Grow Rich, a summary of all his teachings on the Personal Achievement philosophy. I have been inspiring a few people before reading this book, but I didn’t have it as the main purpose for my life.
My mission is inspiring other through peaceful living. This means I have to do this every day of my life without giving it a thought. That’s why I believe that the best place to learn about the definiteness of purpose is to read good books about it such as the book mentioned above. And when we have our very own purposes, we learn from ourselves, and we can then help others define their own life purposes.
Napoleon Hill himself learned this philosophy from others who were much more experienced in this more than he was. This means something. It means we have to learn many things from mentors. Mentors are people who know more than we do. They have the experience themselves before we have those experiences ourselves. We also learn from peers. Peers are usually people who are in our level: age and class.
Is It Important To Know About The Definiteness of Purpose?
If learning about the definiteness of purpose helps us creates a life purpose, which will then help us focus our attention into a life goal, then I can’t think of anything more important than this in the world. History has shown us how important it is for men and women to have definite life purposes.
If we have life purposes, these help us to create a mental destiny, and a mental destination. We are going somewhere, or we think and imagine we are going somewhere. With that in mind, we picture that in our heads. Even if those mindsets are barely imaginational, they help our minds focus on those things we want to do.
This kind of thinking might be new to us in Africa and to us in South Sudan simply because people think differently depending on their cultures. In this side of the world, things seem to happen on their own. This doesn’t mean people don’t plan. However, I never heard anyone talking about a life purpose because it seems everyone assume everyone is here for a purpose.
As I mentioned above, it was until 2017 when I settled the question of life purpose. This means I have two purposes: life and profession. My own life purpose is to complete a peaceful life. My main life mission is living a peaceful life. On the other hand, my professional purpose is to see you inspired. And then my professional mission is inspiring you to discover and improve yourself.
You have to think about setting up your own vision. This means your life vision, your life’s definite purpose. This is just a suggestion. This is my recommendation to you. You might still live a peaceful life without a life purpose. This is because people are not the same, and they should not be the same in personality.
Some people will stress out if they don’t achieve either their purpose or mission. Even New Year Resolutions cause trouble to some people, so it’s better if they shouldn’t have them at all. If you are one of these people, I suggest you need to avoid setting up these big goals in your life in order to live in peace, not in pieces.
You now can see that you can have a define life purpose, as well as a professional definite purpose. Maybe you need them. Maybe you don’t need them. It all depends on your personality type. This is why in everything, I suggest you have to discover and then gradually improve both yourself and your career. This is because it will help you live a meaningful life in this world of chaos and conflict. However, to have peace, you must have a new nature. You must be born again from above. You must evolve into the fifth kingdom, and kingdom above human kingdom.
