As I listened to Life Leadership’s peptalk about what living life on purpose means, what it looks like I closed my eyes and pictured my life’s purpose. Some parts I have figured out, others are yet to come. Most importantly, I continue to set, work towards, and accomplishment goals each and every day. That in itself is living my life on purpose, with a purpose. What are you doing to live rather than just survive?
Here are some notes:
- think about drives you to be who you are, to do what you do — tune in with yourself and move forward with your drive
- don’t leave this life on a pension — to shelter, to feed, to clothe oneself is certainly important — however, to leave on a purpose is to leave a legacy
- don’t become so busy with the little things that the important things are forgotten
- when “my” vision is strong it is likely to become “our” vision — take that how you will and apply it
- ask yourself these three questions: 1.what can you be the best in the world at? 2. what are you most passionate about? 3. what is your economic force (how can you get paid for doing what you love? but don’t get so hungry that you forget your passion
- you have what it takes to achieve your goals within you already; nobody achieves greatness by playing it safe, take a risk — refuse to go down without giving it a shot
- by liberating your own fears and letting your light shine, you allow others to do the same — lead by example
- imagine how it would feel if you woke up every morning knowing that you’re doing what you were called to do; get it!
- if something (or someone) is important, it will contribute to your purpose — respect yourself enough to walk away from anything (or anyone) which prevents you from attaining it
- until you realize what your destiny is, you will never fulfill your potential; keep seeking it, find your passion, use your potential, fulfill your purpose
- and one more question to keep yourself moving: what can you do today that was different from yesterday to be just one step closer to fulfilling your purpose? go get it!
