The benefits of living a purpose-driven life are numerous but I will focus on a couple today. When you know your purpose, you give meaning to your life and the reason for being. We are more able to bear almost anything that life throws at us and overcome when we have a purpose in mind. When your life has meaning, you don't feel like a failure nor struggling to become something that you don't even know. For without meaning life has no significance and hopeless, and hope comes from having a purpose.
Secondly, knowing your purpose simplifies your life. It will define what you do and what you don't do, and your purpose becomes your navigator and yardstick for evaluating which activities of life are essential and which are not because you will constantly ask yourself whether this activity will help you in your journey to fulfilling your purpose for life? Your life will become simplified in the sense that you are more focus, with a clear foundation on which to base your every decisions, resources and allocation of time. A life of purpose is a plain and simple life full of life and peace. Your purpose would always produces passion which will drive and motive you continuously. For nothing energizes us like a clear purpose, which gives us a reason for getting up every morning with joy and gratitude.
On the other hand, people without purpose tend to do too many things at a time, making their choices based on situation, pressures and the feelings of the moment that only ends in frustration and the feeling of laboring hard with nothing to show for it.
A life without purpose would often have complains such as "I have spent my strength and time in vain and for nothing", "My years of hard work and efforts leaves me feeling empty", "My life drags day after day without hope", "I have labored to no purpose" and so on.
