A challenge in life is finding a purpose or a greater goal to achieve. We think purpose will come in the future, but we can really start any day. Not all of us know exactly how or when we're going to find that purpose, and that's perfectly fine. And while finding any purpose is ok, it is way more beneficial to find your purpose, something that you want to accomplish. Youth and young adults can start discovering their purpose by finding values that are important to them.
There are resources like the Purpose Challenge Channel on YouTube. The Purpose Challenge is a suggested video to watch an overview on finding a purpose that can lead to healthier lifestyles, success at work, and motivation. Finding a purpose also helps greatly in finding a career that's just right for you. The link for the video can be found below, under the Resources tab.
We all have values or ideas that we really care about. To make things easy, we tend to sum up our values into simple, one-worded ideas, like Honor, Family, Peace, etc. Below you'll find a list of many values that many people can relate to and find important. In the SPAN youth chat, youth shared values such as having a big family or leaving behind a legacy. Let us know in the comments if you have any personal values you want to share.
