How to find your Purpose in Life
With all of the uncertainty that life can deliver it’s essential to know your Purpose…how else will you know where to focus your energy? Spend your time or make a contribution to this life? And yet….so many of us drift along feeling lost and never looking for the answer. We know we have a purpose for being here…..how do we find it though??
Simple. We just need to ask better questions, give ourselves a little “me” time to answer those questions and be honest with ourselves in the answers we get.
A client of mine recent asked “ Hey in looking for inspiration, would you like to help?” I love to help inspire so of course I said yes!
He said “Thanks, I’m trying to really connect to my purpose but I’m having a spot of difficulty could you recommend any resources which might guide me ?”
“What have you tried already?”
“Just introspection to be fair, I’ve always struggled with finding my major purpose in life”
That’s a conversation I’ve had many times with clients, they’re struggling to find their purpose and yet have never seriously looked further than a little internal dialogue. Here’s what I asked him to do and I invite you to do too……
ok - write down all of the things that really get you excited in life. Forget the shoulds, other peoples expectations....your own self inflicted limits.....and explore the realms of possibility
What if....
There were no limits...
Everything paid the same.....
You knew you couldn't fail....
What would you spend your time doing...who with or who for.....
Where.....
And...How would it make you FEEL????
Dream big...then expand on it a little each day for the next 10 days - elaborate a little more each day....FEEL the vision you create and record it to be inspired by on an on-going basis.
Then - of course - you can determine who you need to become and what you need to do to fulfil that purpose.
No obligation to share it....I'd love to hear the outcome thought :-)
