How To Find Your Life's Task

In my book "Mastery," I discuss the idea of finding your "life's task," which I see as the most important pursuit in your life. Here are some helpful ways you can discover your purpose in life.

Let me know what your life's task is in the comments below ⬇️

Robert Greene is the author of the New York Times bestsellers The 48 Laws of Power, The Art of Seduction, The 33 Strategies of War, The 50th Law, Mastery, The Laws of Human Nature, and most recently, The Daily Laws.

1. Know who you are
2. Discover yourself
3. Stop faking your way through life
4. Find your interest (take your time, as long as you are trying and exploring it will come, don’t follow what other people are doing)
5. Enjoy the process of your work
6. Acquire skills (your 20s are the best time)
7. Listen to your impulse voices
8. Follow your natural inclinations
9. What makes you unique? (that thing that really nobody else can do, indications in your childhood, or when you were 16-17, adjust your life’s path match it with who you are)
10. What is your form of intelligence? (frames of mind by howard gardner)
11. Find your life’s task (return to those inclinations and to that uniqueness, you must reflect back upon those earliest inclinations, you must look at those subjects in the present that continue to spark that childlike intense curiosity in you)

My grandfather (who is no longer alive) left me a few quotes that I have stuck to. 1) "The world will never stop being the world." 2) "Life is beautiful. You just have to know how to live it." and 3) "Don't be lazy. Work hard." They are simple yet profound. He raised 10 kids, worked in a factory, immigrated his children legally from a small village in Mexico into the US during the 1960s. He owned a car, 3 properties, and had the love and adoration of his children and grandchildren. I still sing about him to this day. As the Holy Bible says "Your reputation is more precious than jewels and rubies." And "Wisdom is nourishing to the soul like a good meal."

You can tell Robert is self actualized. He has a calm, relaxed, demeanor and tone and speaks confidently... not loudly with a need to be right. He simply shares his insights unapologetically and leaves it out there for you to take it or leave it, whichever you may choose.

The truth is Robert, a lot of people are deeply wounded and side tracked by their family experience. Those early cuts are incredibly hard to overcome and that I’m afraid is most people don’t reach their personal summits.

I'm 31, and I discovered Robert at 28 years old, in the middle of the pandemic. I found him while I was running and listening to a podcast he did with Lewis Howes. Robert is one of those people where, like David Goggins, once you listen to him speak, you know that there are truths being spoken. He was so authentic and articulate in his podcast interview that it prompted me to learn more about him. I've been a Greene fan since. While I do not agree with everything outlined in his books, I can wholeheartedly say that his book Art of Seduction has taught me much...about life, about power, about persuasion and influence...about MYSTERY. As Michael Jackson once said in regards to Britney Spears "I don't think she understands the true power of mystery."

Robert Greene, in my mind, is truly a life changing mentor. He certainly is for me. But, a person has to be willing to learn and receptive to his, thoughts ideas & suggestions.
There is an adage that says "When the student is ready, the teacher will appear".

Robert is like the life changing mentor... Everyone wanted in their lives❤

I bet this man will be remembered for the next 500 years

After so much struggles I now own a new house and my family is happy once again everything is finally falling into place!!

Robert your insight as you have journeyed through life has been a tremendous help to me.
I live a 12 step prescribed way of life after losing everything including freedom for over a decade, over and over but because of a higher power arresting my impulses long enough to do the hard work you describe in your books, I am now a highly successful, creative software engineer at top fortune companies, a musician, a lover, a friend, brother and son.
Every day I am grateful and show it through action towards those I am grateful for, I make them food, or become vulnerable on a regular basis and tell them plainly that I love and cherish them.
It so warms my heart to learn your latest installment will be touching on these topics.
As someone who has found their purpose (love, creativity and service), I appreciate you very much and wish you all the success with this one.
Much love Robert

Being early to a Robert Greene video feels like being early for class. 😎

I'm a psychology student. since I was in junior highschool i've been interested in introspection. Friends have told me that they like to talk with me because of the same reason. Now im working on my youtube channel where i share some of my thoughts. It is also intended to be a documentation of my thougts and my life. Let's see how far i can get.

I finished reading The 48 Laws of Power last year. One of the greatest books I've ever read!
