Sometimes we feel we don't know what our purpose is when in fact, it's lingering within us.

In this video, Entrepreneur Network partner Ben Angel discusses how to uncover your purpose.

Finding your purpose, mission or life goal is no easy task. In fact, it can be extremely challenging. To start, try everything. Starting broad and asking yourself, "What is the story I'd like to see unravel in front of me?" and "What do I want to experience on a daily basis?" will help point you in the right direction.

Through "experimentation, self-exploration and never-ending pruning," you'll be able to uncover your purpose in life, Angel explains. Most of us already know what our purpose is, we're just too scared to claim it.

Stop making statements like, "I have no idea what I want to do with my life," and instead ask yourself, "If I do know, what could it be?"
