The Method: Finding Your Purpose
By Guest Blogger Michael LaPenna
1. First, sit down and visualize your ideal life or job.
What are you doing?
How is it making you feel?
2. Now combine that feeling with what you do with the most ease and with the greatest level of expertise. (You will likely have to know what you don't do well just as much as what you do amazingly, so it's recommended that you come to terms with both the good and bad realistically).
3. Next, ask yourself: What would you do for a job or daily routine if you had all the wealth you could want? What would you STILL work hard at even if you didn't have to work for a living?
What are you doing right now that never feels like effort or work? What makes you cry with joy when you think of doing it?
Go with the first things that come to mind with each question until you name all of the same or close to the same answers for each question. Take approximately one hour to really think about it. If your answer is still the same after one hour, that answer is your purpose more than likely. People tend to let the prospect of this being difficult let it stop them from dreaming, growing, moving out of comfort and into calculated risk, adventure and new, excited and excellerated moments of utter joy! Don't let fear stop you from trying at all. DO and be willing to fail and then nothing but ideas will fill your heart and you will find new creativity that is not only present in spades, but creativity that is boundless, emboldened and burning with motivation to conquer any obsticle!
Love and light from Mike and Happy Holidays!
