INTERNAL & EXTERNAL FACTORS THAT CONTRIBUTE TO PURPOSE • Primary factors that aid in developing a sense of purpose - Socioeconomic status - Personal motivation - Family involvement - Belief in one’s own ability - Race • The most significant determinants that contribute to purpose discovery and attainment are: - personal motivation - personal belief that one has control over the factors that lead to fulfilling his/her purpose. - support received from family, mentors, and other loved ones • Young people who are purpose-minded, but who lack the means to achieve purpose, are often met with disillusionment and disappointment that incidentally hinder purpose fulfillment.
• Build resiliency to unfavorable circumstances in life
• Devise a number of creative strategies for overcoming challenges.

• Become increasingly difficult to acquire motivating belief systems later in life. • Endure personal effects that may include: - self-absorption
- depression - addictions - psycho-somatic ailments
