For many, the New Year comes with feelings of rejuvenation. Some people resolve to keep up good practices, change undesirable habits or accomplish a personal goal, while others pick up a new hobby – all in an effort to improve their lives. This customary tradition is practiced all over the world! It is known as making “New Year’s Resolutions”. What better time to make up your mind to live on-purpose than the beginning of a new year? For this reason, January is National Be On-Purpose Month.

This holiday came about through various studies by Edwin A. Locke and his colleagues. They concluded that specific and ambitious goals, when written down, create more success.

This year our first step to living life “on-purpose” is to establish your passion and purpose. In this way, you stick to your objective while doing what you love. It is quite ebay to get overwhelmed by life or caught in the monotony of a sedentary lifestyle. Living by your values, passions, and living in the moment are a few ways to make sure you’re living each day with purpose.

Even as a senior, it is never too late to discover your passion and purpose. You can start by reevaluating your interests, hobbies, talents and motivations. The activities that you love the most can help you determine your goals. If you are not sure what you are passionate about, explore a ton of activities fit for seniors on our website!

You can discover new hobbies such as playing chess, learning an instrument or baking, just to list a few. These are all activities that stimulate the mind and are passion-driven!

In addition, knowing the reasons for pursuing your passion and purpose are essential. Do you want to improve your quality of life, expand your skills or simply avoid living a sedentary lifestyle? For seniors, these are excellent payoffs and ensure you get the best out of life!
