Can it Really Wait?

How fulfilled are you at this very moment?

I know you’re thinking: “Oh heck, here we go with the hokey Spiritual stuff again!”, just hear me out, it may change everything.

Most people follow the path of the least resistance: get a job, make money and if something better comes up they take it, never realizing they are not being intentional with what really moves them.

Believe me, I did it too, years and years of sitting in planes and sleeping in hotels made me feel like I was doing something meaningful, I felt I had “a purpose” and in the end, tangibly speaking, I did.

The purpose was to generate more revenue for the employer or client for the same amount of pay, more work, more revenue but the same amount of pay. I can live with that but what I could not live with was not being with my family, not being able to come and go as I pleased.

What does purpose mean anyway?

Purpose defines who you are, it is your foundation. It is the reflection of your personal passions and values. It provides ultra-clarity when you set your goals. Your purpose steers how you want your life story to go.

Reading that just now may have taken you a bit outside your comfort zone. When I look back and ask myself “was working for these corporations actually reflect my personal passions? I could lie and say “well yes, I love meeting people and I felt fulfilled”.

Fulfilment can come from the outside but it is then only temporary, true fulfilment (and purpose) comes from the inside, regardless of what society says, I am sticking to my guns here.

What about my foundation? Was the “job” I had a true foundation? Not at all, I was at their whim, did what I was asked to do, or told, and made the best out of it.

Let’s switch gears for a moment and ask “what would I be doing if I did not need to earn money”. Is it what you are doing now? If not then we are on to something, aren’t we?

So now what? How do you align your purpose as a foundation in your life and use it to dictate the life story you truly wish?

Great question and there are many answers but as a logical guy I will put it like this: Do what you love to do and make no apologies. What’s that you say? “You are fearful of not making enough, flopping or not finding what it is? No worries, you already know, you are simply ignoring it. Your intuition is screaming at you about it and has been for years.

There is no easy answer that’s for sure but there is a solution and that is enough to start working towards uncovering and embracing your true purpose. Imagine your life two years down the road after you got through the growing pains of being your own person doing what you love to do and at the time you want to do it. How does that feel?

I hear you “I just need to reach XYZ first, and then I can do it”. A little tip: Tomorrow never comes, there is only now. Now in your relationships, now in your business, and now in your health. Can it really wait?

I wish to urge you to take a few moments today and look at how wonderful life can really be if you uncover and embrace your purpose, what would you do with the free time, how much better would your relationships be, how fulfilled would you be?
