1. DISCOVER WHAT YOU WERE BORN TO DO

First identify your purpose by answering the following questions of purpose for yourself. Then, rank them in order of importance assuming that you only have a year to live. This gives you a clear perspective about what you truly love to do.

What was I born to do?
How can I make a contribution to humanity?
What activities give me the most inner peace?
What would I accomplish if I had only a year to live?
What am I willing to risk my life for?
What do I stand for?

What don't I stand for?
What am I good at?

2. BE TRULY CLEAR ABOUT YOUR PURPOSE.
Create a statement of purpose for yourself by using the information you receive from answering and ranking the preceding questions. Remember that life may take many turns but keep your focus upon your underlying purpose. Find more questions here and find how to create a statement of purpose for yourself.
