KNOW YOUR PURPOSE.

“Learn to get in touch with the silence within yourself and know that everything in life has a purpose”. ELISABETH KUBLER-ROSS.

One thing is certain and every one of us was born with a purpose; identifying, acknowledging, and honouring this purpose perhaps the most important action successful people take. They take time to understand what they were to do and then they pursue it with passion and enthusiasm.

Without a purpose I life, it is easy to get sidetracked on your life’s journey. It is easy to wander & drift, accomplishing little. But with a purpose everything in life seems to fall into place. What does it mean to be on purpose? 

·         Doing what you love doing

·         Doing what you are good at it

·         Accomplishing what is important to you.

Now let me ask you a question. What you are doing presently, your job, relationship, business, what is the main purpose? What do you aim to achieve? Why are you doing it? What drives you?  When you truly are on purpose, the people, resources & opportunities you need naturally gravitate towards you.

WHAT IS YOUR PERSONAL LIFE PURPOSE?

My personal purpose is to help people discover who they are and inspire them to live up to their potentials. “What is your own? Decide what your major definite purpose in life & then organize all your activities around it”. Brian Tracy.

WHAT IS THE “WHY”BEHIND EVERYTHING YOU DO ?

Without purpose as your compass to guide you, your goals & your action plan may not fulfill you. You do not want to get to the top of the ladder and find out you had it leaning up against the wrong wall.

LET YOUR INNER GUIDANCE GUIDE YOU.

It is the soul’s duty to be loyal to its own desires. It must abandon itself to its master passion. DAME REBECCA WEST

You are born with an inner guidance system that tells you when you are on or off purpose by the amount of joy you are experiencing. The things that bring you the greater joy are in alignment with your purpose. Let’s do something together, make a list of times you have felt most joyful & alive. What are the common elements in these Experiences? Can you figure out a way to make a living doing these things?

Complete the following exercise.

i.                    List two of your unique personal qualities, such as enthusiasm & creativity,

ii.                  List one or two ways you enjoy expressing those qualities when interacting with others, such as to support  and to inspire

iii.                Assume the world is perfect right now. What does this world look like? How is everyone interacting with everyone else? What does it feel like?  Write your answers in a statement in the present tense, describing the ultimate condition, the perfect world as you see it and feel it. Remember, a perfect world is a fun place to be.

Example; Every is living up to their potentials.

Combine all together and form your personal life statement.

Once you have determined & written down your life purpose, read it every day preferably in the morning. You can represent it with a picture or an artwork and hang it on your door, refrigerator, you desk, near your bed, where you will see it every day so it can keep you focused. Also set time aside for inner reflection or meditation, where you can ask yourself questions like, WHO am I? What is my purpose in life? Discovering it early is better but you are not yet late to discover yours.
