Whats Your Life Purpose

Many of us find ourselves meandering through life, taking each day as it comes, without specific purpose or direction and then wander why life is so monotonous and dull. If you can relate to this then why not from today take control and start to build the foundations of a challenging, exciting and rewarding life. A life that you deserve…….

Life Foundations: What are your true life values?

* Make a list of all the things you value in your life. These can include Family, Financial Security, Health, Creativity, Nice Home, Friends, Travel and Honesty.
* Prioritise your values starting with the most important to you as number 1.

This will then assist you to make the right choices and decisions in life and ensure that whatever direction your life may take you; you are comfortable and satisfied because they are in line with your current values.

Identify your priorities: What is most worthwhile or desirable to you?

· Find a spare 10 minutes, when you can relax and you won’t get interrupted.

· Sit or lie in a comfortable position, close your eyes and take a few deep breaths.

· Imagine yourself in a favourite place where you can take a few minutes to think. The time is many years from now. You have lived a long and full life. Reflect upon your life from this mature vantage point. What did you most enjoy experiencing and doing? What did you most appreciate accomplishing or having?

· Write your answers on a piece of paper.

You have begun the process of reshaping your life; these exercises should have bought some clarity on the direction you wish your life to go in. Congratulate yourself you have laid the foundations to the life you deserve.

Re: Charge what you're worth - [quote="Tami Szabo":292ze3jd]People will pay you what you ask. Very few will ever up the price. You are the one who decided what you are worth. The key is that we believe our services are worth the price we are asking.[/quote:292ze3jd] Hi Tami, You're absolutely right. In "Think and Grow Rich", Jessie B. Rittenhouse says "For Life is a just employer, He gives you what you ask, But once you have set the wages, Why, you must bear the task. I worked for a menial's hire Only to learn, dismayed , That any wage I had asked of Life, Life would have willingly paid" (Napoleon Hill 35). I think the same can be said when setting prices on eBay or Craigslist, especially when people are trying to haggle you.
