Live with direction. Choose with intention. Grow with hope.
A project of life is a simple, prayerful vision for how you want to live. It helps you answer a big question in a practical way: What kind of life do I want to live, and how will I live it with God?
Why it matters
A project of life helps you
- live with more clarity
- make choices with direction
- connect faith and daily life
- grow in freedom and responsibility
- stay rooted in what matters most
It gives unity to your life. It helps you avoid drifting.
Where to begin
Start in prayer and ask…
- Who am I becoming?
- What is God asking of me now?
- What matters most?
- What kind of person do I want to be?
- What mission is taking shape in my life?
Key parts of a project of life
1. Identity
My gifts, limits, story, and values.
2. Vocation
The way I feel called to live, love, and serve.
3. Mission
What good I want my life to bring.
4. Relationships
How I want to live family, friendship, community, and love.
5. Prayer and faith
How I want to stay rooted in God.
6. Personal growth
Habits, study, work, emotional maturity, and rest.
7. Service
Where my gifts can meet real needs.
Turn vision into action
A project of life becomes real when it includes concrete habits.
Instead of writing:
I want to grow spiritually Write:
I will spend 15 minutes in prayer each morning
Instead of writing:
I want to serve more Write:
I will volunteer twice a month in one concrete way
A simple structure
You can write your project of life in this order:
- My identity and gifts
- My vocation and calling
- My values
- My mission statement
- My goals
- My concrete actions
- What I want to review in six months
Review and grow
Your project of life is not fixed forever. It grows with you. Review it
- every 6 months
- once a year
- after a retreat
- during accompaniment or spiritual direction
Ask again: What is God asking of me now?
A strong life is built one faithful choice at a time.
