DO YOU KNOW YOUR WHY?

It is said...the two most important days of your life are the day you are born and the day you realize why.

Hey Community, this profound quote and timeless wisdom suggests that discovering one’s purpose is essential for a meaningful,?prosperous,?and happy life. It encourages us to seek understanding and direction that transcends mere existence. Whether attributed to Mark Twain or others, this encouragement to find our "why" and live mindfully, intentionally, and purposefully resonated deeply with me. I hope it resonates with you as well.?

DO YOU KNOW YOUR WHY?

First order of business is to let you know this article is NOT written by ChatGPT. I am mindful people are busy and I also know there are some people left on the planet who still like to read. So, for those of you who do, grab some tea or coffee and put your feet up. I've been sitting on this article for months because I am a long-winded writer, and my inner critic would not let me hit the publish button. If I don't send it now, it will never get out. It is my last article for 2023 in preparation for 2024. If you read to the end, God bless you and here we go!

If you are curious or in search of your true authentic calling,?an opportunity is on its way to embark upon a transformational journey of exploration, discovery, and a deep dive into personal and career development best practices for finding passion, purpose, dream jobs and the answer to your why. There is no greater blessing in life than doing what you love,?and a valuable resource to help you figure that out is on its way.?

Your past or present circumstances, mistakes or failures do not?define who you are meant to be.?Leveraging the power of knowing your why with simple daily mindset shifts can change the trajectory of your entire life. Being able to communicate clearly and succinctly what you do best,?how uniquely you do it and what problem it solves is?what will land you your dream job.

Are you experiencing an identity crisis? Not sure about who you truly are? Confused, or uncertain about your career choice or about your future? Unhappy with?wherever?you are in your life journey or with what you are doing? If you answered yes to any of these questions, the power to get unstuck, unblocked, transformed and realize your who, what, when, where, how and why is in your hands. ?

Curiosity, creativity, consistency, discipline, your imagination, a willingness to be open to growing and evolving and a commitment to the process will change your life.?We are all born with a sweet spot and unique hidden zone of genius within us. I am a huge believer, no matter what our age that personality and career assessments combined with a deep dive into our mental and emotional self-awareness as early as 0-5 to 95 can help us successfully discern those hidden treasures, but we must put in the deep work.?

The study of quantum physics, i.e., where your thoughts go, energy flows, highlights the fact that the programming of our basic fundamental behavior and habits engrained in our subconscious minds are acquired during the formative period of our life between gestation and six years of age.

Some of these life shaping subconscious mindset downloads are also passed down through our DNA, along with observing our parents, primary care takers, teachers, siblings and community. Often, much of this programming during this informative period is based on fixed mindset thinking, i.e., stinking thinking that can stay with us and foster limiting, self-sabotaging beliefs as we go through life.?

When we know our why, in response to the Mark Twain quote above, we can reframe our thinking, change fixed mindset behaviors and turn them into positive growth mindset beliefs and actions that allow us to take control of our lives.?

I have been on this journey and the process to unlearn self-limiting beliefs and behaviors turned my personal and professional life around. My mission is to give back and share those tools and golden nuggets of information and knowledge gleaned from life-lived experiences in real time.? A co-creation first edition, holistic, self-help daily devotional and 365-day DIY challenge to find your why is in preparation for 2024, in book form, audio for you auditory learners. The intention is to nurture mental and emotional breakthroughs and to have fun along the way as well.? ?

This book project is a curation of 5-minute mind-set shift lessons, meditative thoughts and affirmations to set the tone for your day, each day.?The goal is to put you on a laser-focused journey to identify your unique gifts, talents, expertise and superpowers, how to use them mindfully, strategically, and intentionally to be in alignment and timing with your life purpose by harnessing the power of knowing your why.

A positive mindset combined with the law of attraction opens amazing doors! This project is intended to help you find clarity around your personal and professional goals, aspirations and dreams that are specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and timely. It is possible to successfully live an abundant life of meaning, prosperity and fulfillment that matches your passion, purpose and personality. Using your natural strengths to give and receive those things that bring you joy while uplifting the lives of others will get you there. When we do what we love we never work a day in our life.

I truly believe success in finding our why lies in the discovery and exploration process of the natural gifts and talents we are born with. This deep work increases our self-awareness and highlights our true authentic interests, passions and capabilities. Having a crystal-clear?vision of the life we desire helps us make career choices and decisions as early as possible with confidence that put us on?amazing career paths and opportunities in alignment with our core values, who we truly are and what we are meant to do to thrive at peak performance in the world in prosperity and fulfillment.

Encouraging others to get lost in the secret sauce by sharing the action steps that helped me design, create and become the architect of my own life is fulfilling and personally rewarding. This book project is written for those who might not otherwise have access to this information due to difficult situations or circumstances caused by underserved, overlooked or economically challenged environments. Celebrating the light bulb and ah-hah moments, transformations, achievements, successes and the rise and shine of others overcoming challenging or hard times brings me endless joy.?

The purpose of humankind is to help make the world a better place no matter what your age or phase of life. I am grateful for the written word as it allows me to be on this believer’s journey with you in spirit each day cheering you on. Remember this one thing – everything you need you already possess. Sometimes we just need a little help, and so it is. I don't have an eta for this project in 2024. I'm just going with the flow and suffice it to say that the bun is in the oven, so stay tuned!

Psssst!!! For those of you who have read this far, check out the Personality Plus assessment resource below I came across by happenstance. Sharing this link below to give you a head start on your search to realize your why and if you like this assessment, I've included other favorites in the book project as well.

A few last tips to consider that helped me find my WHY. I invite you to try the following:

• consider mastering the craft of time management so that you will have more time to do the things that truly bring you joy. The number of results you will?accomplish in a day towards achieving your dreams will become magical.
• declutter, downsize and organize your life from the inside out, physically, mentally and spiritually to make space for the life you envision.
• embrace the 80/20 rule also known as the Pareto Principle by making all your aspirations and dreams S.M.A.R.T goals so that when you wake up in the morning to pursue them you are working smarter and not harder to achieve them.?

Grateful for this community. Wishing you happy holidays filled with richest blessings, peace, love and joy. I know I will be in and out of this article tweaking language and fixing mistakes. In the meantime, let's get this DIY find your why challenge started. I love starting new projects on Sundays! - LET'S GO!!!
