Life Purpose
One question which I often hear from my clients is ‘What is my life purpose’. For most people, this is a very difficult question to answer:
· Your purpose is your heart and souls guiding direction for life
· You were born with a unique talent and a distinctive way of expressing it
· Your life purpose is often hidden by day to day living. The problem is that your life got a little complicated and you forgot what you intended to do. Look at what you enjoyed doing as a child.
· Your life purpose may not be career specific.
· Your life purpose will benefit others and in time, the greater good
· Your goals are necessary stepping stones to help you fulfil your true purpose
· When you concentrate on your life purpose, you develop a clear vision for success
· A definite purpose is one of the clearest and brightest roads to health.
In order to assist you in finding your life purpose, I have put together some simple suggestions from people who have now found their purpose in life and are now living the life of their dreams. Be inspired to follow your heart and discover what you have been put on this world to do!
1) Listen to your inner voice and intuition. Practice listening to your heart and what makes your heart sing. This can take practice and your passion will often come as an event which reminds you of what is important and what makes you happy.
2) Recognise if you feel stuck or on ground hog day. Does your job make you happy or does it feel like a grind? Are you spending your free time on something which makes your heart sing? Take some time to look at your happiness. If you are feeling unfulfilled do more things which make your flame roar and your heart sing. Write a list of 50 things which make you happy and try to do at least one every day.
3) Keep an open mind and be open to possibilities. Create happiness instead of chasing it. Explore your life and try new things. Unearth all of the things which bring you joy.
4) ‘Act independently of the good opinion of other people’ (Wayne Dyer). Sometimes following your heart and life purpose means tuning out the voices of the world and other people in your life and going against the opinion of other people. Take a leap and trust in yourself and your dreams. Trust that all will be ok!
5) Make a choice in what sort of person you wish to be. Rather than concentrating on what you want to do, focus on who you want to be. How do you want to feel? What sort of person do you want to be? Let these choices be your guide and make decisions based on what sort of person you want to be.
6) Trust in change. Difficult times and change are a natural part of life. Try not to resist change. Be open to new experiences and let go of the old.
7) Release old regrets. It is easy to regret the time that you have spent being unhappy. Realise that everything happens for a reason and during this time you would have learned some valuable lessons and skills you needed to know to move on. It is just as important to know what you don’t want as it is to know what you do want.
8) Take baby steps. Take action to move out of your comfort zone. Be prepared to make some changes. Don’t just think about it – do it!
9) Find patience. Finding your life purpose may not happen overnight. Take small steps to allow your purpose to grow.
