HOW TO KNOW WHAT'S RIGHT FOR YOU

How do you know what is the right kind of work for you? How do you know what is your passion?

They say something like 95% of kids believe they can be anything they want yet by the time they reach adulthood that drops to about 5%. We become sensible and defensive and lose our sense of imagination. We leave our dreams and trade it all in for the safety of a wage and security losing our sense of adventure and excitement in the process.

Imagination or the lack of it is the root of our problem. The future is not there waiting yet it is a seed that is deep in our hearts waiting to burst out and grow and become the dream you visioned.

We usually base our decisions on the past with what we hold in the memory banks. You know the things that did not work out or went wrong because of this or that and how bad, stupid or silly did it make us feel? We retreat to safety saying never again thinking we have learned a lesson and lick out wounds.

However, if we let that or other people determine what our life should be about out futures become what they think or the other situation dictates and goes from our grasp. We need to get back to the child in us to that magical imagination where all invention and dreams evolve into a wonderland of possibility.

The abundance of the imagination is unlimited in ideas and possibility. Lose the old programs and old patterns. Imagination comes from your soul and should be cherished. It is not mere fantasy as that is just another way of hiding from your soul purpose. Just think of the likes of Nelson Mandela or Martin Luther King. They both had a dream inspiring others to create a future better for all.

You have a choice! Have you ever felt your soul is dying inside? You could be 40 now and you are dead but you might not be buried until you are 90. What a thought eh?

You can earn money for your passion. You just need to realise what that is. Eleanor Roosevelt said if you do things with passion the money will follow or words to that effect.

At some stage a calling inside us tells us we are heading in the wrong direction. We need to find that true direction, our soul purpose. Creativity is what it's all about. Being creative means you are growing and when you are growing you always feel afraid. That's a fact, it does not go away.

I've just been reading a book 'Feel the fear and do it anyway'. This has really shown me that the fear is always there but it is how we deal with it that matters. Either from a position of power or a position of fear depending on how we view the world. So start being positive with your outlook instead of giving your internal power away to somebody or some situation.

What excites you and gives you passion? Your talents are bursting to get out but have been hidden to you for so long. If you do not recognise them you will feel frustration and resentment at life and perhaps even depression.

Let them out and discover what it is you need to do in life to feel fulfilled. Let the creative juices flow and get back to the child in you and let that imagination show the possibility out there.

Then like NIKE says 'Just do it'

You have to believe you have gifts and if you have a feeling you cannot ignore them any longer. Let your soul open wide and share with the world in love and spirit.

Find your Life Purpose and Passion

 

 

 

I believe that everyone is born with a unique set of skills and a unique purpose and you can live a truly fulfilled life, only once you make the decision to live according to your purpose and passion and do things around your unique skills and things that you love doing.

Everyone was born with a unique purpose of how they will serve the planet through their lifetime.

Yet many people go through life without a purpose, doing something that they don’t love, living a life designed by others, almost on autopilot. They feel unfulfilled and they don’t know how to change it.

What is your true purpose?

Our true purpose is essentially to be happy and to do things that make us happy. An individual, who is happy, is one living on purpose. And an individual living on purpose, cannot be anything else than happy. So the first thing you can start doing to discover your purpose is to think what makes you happy and choose to do only things that make you happy. The happy state of being is a very important place to be in, to manifest whatever you want into your life.

Why you should find your Purpose and Passion

People who are most successful and productive are the ones who have recognized their purpose and live their life according to their purpose, following their true calling and passion. Read the autobiography of any successful person you admire and you will find out that there was an underlying life purpose to everything they did. Mahatma Gandi inspired so many people because he was following his purpose, his calling of advocating nonviolence and truth and being the change that he wanted to see in the world.

Knowing your Purpose, will enable you to design your life around your true passion and unique abilities and live your full potential. All of your talents and unique abilities are based on what your purpose is.

When you live on purpose, people respond to you differently because they see a person with passion for what they do. You feel that you are not wasting any moment of your life because you are living life doing things that feel right for you. And you become more successful and productive because you focus on your unique skills, what you do best and you don’t waste your time on activities that don’t represent you.

And actually in an ideal world, everyone would be living their purpose. Businesses would be more successful because they wouldn’t be employing people to work in positions that didn’t inspire them. Business owners would be more successful because they would realize that there is no point in trying to do things they are not inspired by or something that they don’t possess a unique skill around. And people would be more successful and happy because they would focus on doing only things they are good at and they love doing.

How do you find your Purpose and Passion?

Deep within you, in your subconscious mind, or even consciously, you know what your purpose is as it’s something you have been doing naturally all your life, it’s something you are drawn to. All you need to do is ask yourself a few questions and give honest answers, to help bring it out and uncover it.

Write down the answers to the following questions and look for a common theme, so that you can form a sentence, a statement that represents your life purpose, what you represent and how you serve the world.
