The 4 Practical Steps I Used to Discover My Life Purpose

How to use this secret Japanese tool.

Were you ever given a map or tool to help you decide what you wanted to do after high school? How about University?

In the last year of high school, we took an online test to find out what field of work you were best suited for.

Overall it was pretty engaging, and it produced some nice graphs which I went over with a counselor.

The issue was that it was basically an IQ exam sprinkled with a few questions about preferences based on the current opportunities of 2014.

Now that’s already quite comprehensive, as the system tries to show you where you might be the most valuable; but it doesn’t really take into consideration if you’d enjoy the job/path that the test suggested for you. (Don’t get me wrong, I’m privileged to have been able to take such a test. But I think there’s a better way of helping students find career paths).

In any case, I didn’t follow the test’s advice of studying hospitality management/business; and it was the best decision ever.

After high school I took a gap year, working in jobs that I realized I then didn’t want to pursue long term. So that kind of narrowed down my career choices, and definitely made my decision easier about what I wanted to study.

Fast forward to last year, I finished university and had some vague ideas and goals about what I wanted to do.

Mainly, I was considering starting my own business related to my field of study, psychology, and more specifically in positive psychology where I would be helping people to realize their potential as I had been interested in this topic and wanted to know how I could help others live more fulfilling lives.

This was the general plan. So at least I knew what I was curious about, and that’s important.

However, when I left University in July 2019, I didn’t know what or how I would do this.
