Each personality has its goal and therefore also your personality has a goal that is its driving force. This is not something specific, such as becoming a famous singer and living in a huge villa near Los Angeles, or becoming a wife of a Russian oligarch.
In this article:
- You will learn what the purpose of personality is.
- You will identify the purpose of your personality: growth, acceptation, domination, retardation, rejection, relaxation, and submission.
This goal also has nothing to do with your personal dreams. It doesn’t appear on any of your to-dos before the 40ty bucket lists and it does not have any checkbox. You will not be able to account for it when analyzing your life achievements after forty. This goal, however, affects what you put on your personal list of life goals. Of course, only if you provided that ones which are really your goals, not the goals you’ve got in your head by social expectations.
The goal is not a specific, described thing, but rather a direction in which each of us wants their life to follow.
For some, it can be, for example, building positive relationships with others. For example, they want to love and be loved. Such people have the purpose of acceptance. Others, however, want to use all of their potential in their lives. They want to be the best version of themselves that they can be and strive for continuous growth. The goal of these people is therefore growth.
The goal is like your inner compass, which gives direction to all your choices, even the trivial one. It guides you through life directly or indirectly influencing your choices. That is why in all personal development guidebooks or coaching sessions they always tell you to listen to yourself. Even seemingly insignificant decisions taken every day can have a big impact on the course of your life.
Of course, not only the goal influences your life.
Especially at the beginning of life, when you make a lot of decisions under the influence of parents’ expectations, peer pressure or fashion. The choices you make always depend on the options available. Sometimes you even feel that you are doing something against yourself and therefore something inconsistent with your life goal. It usually ends with dissatisfaction and frustration. To avoid this, you should be more sensitive to your intuition. Let it come to the force. It also makes no sense to fight with your goal. You rather should understand and surrender it with full awareness, also remembering its negative aspects.
The midlife crisis that you are experiencing is really the work of your inner compass, which tries to bring you to the right path of life. It makes no sense to fight it, because it will only aggravate your frustration. Try to recognize and accept it. The highest time to do it. Set aside all false beliefs and follow your true purpose.
There are 7 types of goals that, like soul types, have their specialties:
The Goal of Retardation.
This is the most introverted of goals. Sometimes it is also called a re-evaluation. It means slowing down or holding back. It drives the personality to withdraw from the wider world and focus inward. Being alone with your thoughts and feelings. In a positive sense, it is atavism, simplicity, evaluation and negative withdrawal or getting stuck.
It consists of slowing down the pace and intensity of life experiences in order to reach the next level of development by staying in oneself, focusing on oneself, introspection and contemplation. A good example of a man with such a goal is Stephen Hawking, who thanks to it could focus on his theoretical considerations. Most monks have similar goals.
People with such a goal often do not feel well in modern societies or too loud or highly interactive circumstances. They can not work in places where too much is going on or if they have a lot of deadlines to meet. They can concentrate only on one task. The people always set a list of priorities and deal with only the most important matters. They have very small requirements, they are very economical, they are rather home-lovers. This is a rare goal, found only in 1% of the population.
The Goal of Rejection.

Throughout your life, You consciously or not try to enter this direction to fulfill your goal.
