HOW TO FIND YOUR PASSION & PURPOSE
Do you ever have times in life when you feel like there's 'something missing', or that you aren't completely passionate about the things which you invest the best of your time into?
Perhaps you feel like you'd like to make a far greater in the world than what you currently are doing, but you just don't know where to begin?
Many people journey their way through life, feeling desperate for a deeper sense of purpose and connection, but aren’t sure how to get them. So if any of these statements resonate with you, please rest assured that you aren't alone!
It has been said that the two most important days we have in life are the day we are born and the day we discover why we were born.
Get More Action
You can’t think your way into finding your life purpose; you have to do your way into it. Take a mental note from Nike and Just Do It. The more we act, the more we get clear on things. So instead of over thinking it —
Will this work out?
Should I try that?
What if I don’t like it?
What if I don’t make money at it?
Start taking steps toward your goals and start trying new things. This will help you get out of your own way. I struggled for years trying to find out what my purpose was. This cycle only created a deeper lack of clarity. It wasn’t until I started doing that things changed for me
The experience is the reward; clarity comes through the process of exploring. Action is where you get results.
Drop From Your Head to Your Heart
Your heart is your best tool to access your true purpose and passion.
Ask yourself what you love? Start taking steps to do what you love.
When you are inspired and connected to your happy self, inspiration floods your heart and soul.
When you lead from your heart, you are naturally more joyful and motivated to explore.
By doing what you love, you will be inspired and gain insights into what brings you the most joy.
Passion + Daily Action = Purposeful Life
Consider that the real purpose of anyone’s life is to be fully involved in living. Try to be present for the journey and fully embrace it. Soon you will be oozing with passion, and you will feel so purposeful and fulfilled you will wonder how you lived life without it. Enjoy the journey into your own awesome life.
While some people will disagree with this statement (for various religious reasons), most people will agree that when we're unsure about what our purpose is in life, it can become increasingly more difficult to 'keep on going', the further that we progress throughout life.
Personally, I can relate to this all too well. Up until the age of 30, I lived a highly irresponsible lifestyle, living for the moment, pleasure seeking and only committing to relationships with those who I believed I could benefit from in some way. I used to struggle with immense emotional chaos (stress and anxiety) while on the road to discovering my passion and purpose in life. I spent years, travelling the world.
If you think about it, money comes, and money goes. Possessions come, and possessions go. Fashions change, trends change, the weather changes and our priorities change, but the things that always remain a constant are the fundamental needs of human beings.
Your heart is the best compass (or GPS) to access your true purpose and passion in life.
Because when you are inspired by what you do, motivated by making a difference in others and are connected in a with other people in a meaningful way, fulfillment, contentment and inner peace become your prize - which are far greater than any financial or materialistic reward.
By doing what you love in life, you will begin to realize how much more energy and passion you have for investing into the things that you do. Also, you'll start to recognize how much value other people find in you, and how much they also benefit from receiving some of your time.
Time is the most valuable commodity that we each possess, so be sure to treat the time you have with caution - because one our time is spent, it's spent! You can spend your time making more money, but you cannot spend your time making more time.
So, to find your passion in life, you've got to get familiar with yourself.
You need to know what drives you, what you're naturally good at,
what you genuinely enjoy,
what inspires you,
what excites you,
what scares you,
what you pretend to like but don’t,
and what lies you're telling yourself about your skills,
natural talents, abilities and gifts.
As you become more familiar with yourself, you’ll be able to determine what’s most important in the limited time you have in a day, a year, and even throughout your lifetime.
In doing this, you can maximize your time doing more of what you love and less of what you don’t love.
If you are looking for your purpose and passion, stop looking and start doing.
