What’s my life purpose?
With all the “busy-ness” of life and the work I do online I keep putting aside the one thing I believe I am here to work on when I ask myself the question What’s my life purpose?
For years I have written in the personal development field never really with an outcome to make money – just because I love sharing what I have learnt over the last 18 years. Over the last few weeks I have been helping to guide a fairly new blogger towards discovering what they want to blog about and in the process it reminded me of my purpose too.
It is that old struggle of money versus passion/purpose and trusting that when you follow passion your life will end up the way you want it to be. The problem is if we start off concerned about money all we do is put our concern about having no money into our future which then brings us what we are thinking about – no money.
I experienced that during the recession. In 2008 I lost 3 big contracts and was left with very little work – my concern (and I really should know better) focused on having no contracts and no money coming in – it was only when I realized what I was doing that I stopped and reversed the trend. It took a little while but now in my future is only more work and an abundantly rich life (that is spirtually as well as financially rich).
What’s my life purpose? To share inspirational guidance with the world. To raise self confidence in women and to help them experience the altogether fabulous people that they really are leaving them free to embrace happiness and peace.
What’s your life purpose, are you living it? And if you are not, why not?
Do you want to know the secret to becoming unstoppable? - it's all about building selfKnow why you want to live your dream
Have you ever longed for something and then when you get it, it is nothing like you expected? Dorothy longed to be over the rainbow and of course when she made the trip she decided “there was no place like home”
So many of us long for a dream to come true and when it does we still continue to wish that life was different. If you want to live your dream AND love your life then you need to know why you want to live your dream.
It is easy to think that you really want something
“I want to be rich”
“I want to be married”
“I want to start my own business”
“I want to learn French”
“I want to lose weight”
We dream of what life will be like when we achieve it but most people don’t consider why they want something.
We spend time working towards something believing the fulfillment of it will be enough but what we are truly searching for is something far deeper and if we stop and think about what that is we can enjoy our achievement once it happens or realise that it isn’t something we truly want after all.
Being rich means you never have to worry about paying the bills and can be at peace and happy. Or so you think. But more money usually brings other challenges and more often than not more problems. Ask anyone that won the lottery and suddenly found themselves with millions!
What you think will be the end of your problems can sometimes just be the beginning of them.
Also if thinking that money will bring peace and happiness why not enjoy those right now in this present moment before earning loads of money.
I spent years working towards completing an MBA that I thought I wanted. When I looked at why I wanted it I realized it was to prove to people (and myself) I was intelligent – it had nothing to do with really wanting to live a dream but more to do with proving something. Achieving the qualification will never have made me happy because what I really needed to work on was understanding that I am okay as I am.
In an effort to live your dream and love your life it is really important that you know why you want to live your dream so you don’t spend years working towards something you don’t really want or you don’t end up achieving it only to find you are not satisfied. Spend time writing in your “All Fab Journal” about why you want what you want and what you believe it will give you. You might surprise yourself.
