The first step in knowing your life's purpose is to pray and ask God because He is the One Who made you to fulfill that purpose for He says, "Before I formed you in the belly I knew you. Before you came out of the womb I sanctified you and I ordained you". (Jeremiah 1:5)

It is also written that, "Your eyes saw my substance even when I was unformed and in Your book were written all the days fashioned for me before they begun". (Psalm 139:16)

Therefore pray and ask God to reveal for you what He wrote in your book before you were born. After praying, ask yourself the following life purpose questions to help you gain some clarity:

What are my significant life experiences?

God can use your educational and life experiences to prepare you to fulfill your life's purpose like He did for Moses.

Moses' Life's Purpose was to go to Pharaoh, the leader of Egypt and ask him to release the Israelite slaves and then lead the Israelites in the wilderness on the way to their Promised Land. (Exodus 3:10)

To enable Moses fulfill his Lie's Purpose, God orchestrated the following factors into his life:
1. Being born into an Israelite slave family.
2. Being raised as an Egyptian prince because his birth mother hid him in the river and Pharaoh's daughter found him and raised him as her son. (Exodus 2:10) 
3. Becoming learned in all Egyptian wisdom (Acts 7:22) as a result of the education he received as the son of Pharaoh's daughter.
