Hello Reader,
Happy, healthy, and blessed holidays to you. This time of year is significant for me in the way of reflection. As the years pass, I am anchoring everything I do that leads to my legacy. A big part of this is to know and be in my why.
The older I get the more crystalized my 'why' becomes and allowing it to evolve is essential. This may be the case for you too.
Going within and asking myself if I am on track and seeking out ways to operate from my why and living out my passion and purpose are important to me.
I believe anchoring my why and creating a personal roadmap leads to sustainable joy, health, and well-being as this sustainable approach feeds my soul.
2023 is upon us. How amazing will the next year be if we operate from our why?
Today, I invite you to join me in a self-care event today at 10am Eastern time: Resilience for the Holidays. I will be there and I hope you will join me. Details below.
Enjoy the below, originally published on The Wellness Universe blog.
Have a day to treasure,
Anna Pereira, CEO The Wellness Universe
As you have noticed, the title of today's newsletter is 'A Gift to Give Yourself'. I believe living out our purpose and passion is one of the greatest gifts we can give ourselves! Happy holidays and I hope this article inspires you.
Published to The Wellness Universe as: How to Find your Purpose and Passion in Life
How many times have you been told to find your passion? How long have you struggled to explore your purpose in life? How do you find your?why?
Understanding your?why?is crucial, as it is the spark, the guiding light, the compass pointing you in the right direction. However, discovering this is not something that can be done in a few days, weeks, or months. It is usually a lifelong journey, and it can only be done one step at a time. Here are three important tips on how to discover and develop your passion, so you can live a fulfilling life that you’ll love.
1. Reading?
When you are confused about your future and don’t know the direction of your life, try reading!
Reading helps us extract wisdom that cannot be obtained from formal education.
After all, we can’t walk through every path in the world. But reading can give us an opportunity to get to know how others have overcome their challenges and achieved their goals. For us who live in limited time and space, reading is like magic, allowing us to travel between different worlds and experience everything in diverse universes. How incredible is this is?!
2. Surround Yourself with Positive People
One takes the behavior of one’s company. Who we choose to be with is who we end up being. If we want to bring a positive impact to the world, it is important to learn from those who are full of positive energy. However, this does not mean we should only spend time with people we deem perfect. We simply need to be surrounded by passionate individuals who will motivate us to better ourselves and believe in the importance of positivity.
Lao Tzu, an ancient Chinese philosopher, has said:
Watch your thoughts, they become your words; watch your words, they become your actions; watch your actions, they become your habits; watch your habits, they become your character; watch your character, it becomes your destiny.
It is obvious that if we are surrounded by contagiously joyful and enthusiastic people who are making positive changes in the world, we might draw from their inspiration. And when we adopt a more positive attitude, it becomes much easier to stay focused on our end goals.
3. Ignore Dissenting Voices
When we indulge in the things we love, we may encounter some who will oppose or laugh at our decisions. For example, if a person likes painting, friends or family might question whether he can make a living as a painter. It seems that our thinking is framed by the idea that everything must have what others consider good results otherwise it will be considered a failure, a waste of time, or unsuccessful.
Each person is unique. Therefore, what we should do is listen to our hearts and firmly believe we can do it. If we have confidence and are proud of ourselves, the day will come when the people around us will understand why we chose the road we did. We simply need to focus on our own lives and make sure we approve of ourselves and our own choice.
Last but not least, it is also important to realize that your “why” can change over time, the same as your values and goals. This is totally fine, as change is a beautiful process and is the only constant in life. Therefore, while looking for your “why,” be brave enough to embrace the fact that you are changing constantly.

I help leaders embody a "both/and" or paradoxical mindset instead of the 'either/or' mindset so they can return to their center no matter what is happening outside or inside.
1 年Anna, It's taken a few decades to clarify my 'why' for what I do in this life. Although I've been serving others through my coaching practice and trainings around the globe, the strongest motivation has really been discovering who I am beyond my mind, emotions, and body. Everyone calls that spiritual, and that is fine. But for me it became very personal and beyond words. And now everything I do is carrying me forward on this journey of discovering who I am at my highest self. It makes everything I do here so beautiful and fulfilling. And although I do not live the answer I'm receiving YET, I have faith that day will come. Meanwhile, I thoroughly enjoy sharing what I've learned with anyone interested in more conscious living and conscious leadership. Life is more of a joy than I ever thought it could be. Much love, Ragini

1 年Thanks for sharing these practical and relevant tips Anna Pereira Chairwoman Soul Ventures! They are great ways to refocus us back to "why" we do what we do in the first place. I'm not sure I agree with the idea that our "why" changes much. I'm starting to see that what and how I do what I do seems to evolve and grow over time, however the underlying reason (or why) I do it, really hasn't changed. My why seems to always come back to that little girl in me that didn't feel safe being me - not fully me. I was often rewarded and ostracized (at the same time) for being good at things, and told I was "too much". Trying to find approval by succeeding, and shrink down so I wasn't "too shiny", is a confusing and unproductive way to live. I believe that the world would be a better place if each and every one of us were free to shine in our true brilliance, and could share that with the world generously and unapologetically. So, I'm called to support others in remembering and discovering their own brilliance, so they too can be free to express it.
