How to Discover Your Life Purpose

11/4/2015

When I was just launching my coaching practice, I looked at the self-help/business section at Barnes & Noble and noticed book after book on productivity, effectiveness training, time management, planning and goal setting. In my mind, that meant that people were spending money to learn how to master those types of challenges, and so I patterned my marketing around those issues.

Now, after having around the block a couple of times, I realize that for most part those are symptoms and not the real problem. Even though we pour tons of money and time into books, tapes, and seminars on general productivity, I’ve come to believe that the deeper issue is that many of us pour all that time and money into careers that don’t really matter to us.

The results, not surprisingly, are disappointing, because we’re trying infuse our work with energy and effectiveness, and those things don’t come from outside. They can’t be infused if there’s no passion, no purpose.

As I talk with people, it becomes very clear to me that one cannot be truly effective and successful without being passionate about what you’re doing. So how do you discover your passion? Where do you find your deepest, fundamental, core life purpose?

the tremendous power of clarity

Whatever you’re trying to accomplish, clarity is paramount. Being consistent and staying on track is largely a result of being unambiguous about your life and purpose. Fortunately, getting clarity in your life is easy with a little daily effort.

Having clear goals is critical. Your brain is much more capable of finding solutions if the objective is obvious. You’ll also stay on track more easily if the end result is clear to you. If you don’t have a specific endpoint in mind, you could end up anywhere. And even if you do land in the right place by sheer luck, how would you know you were there?

Why You Should Write Down Your Goals for the Future

As December 2014 comes to a close, many of us will decide that we need to make some changes in our lives. Unfortunately, most of us will not take it any farther than that. Only a few of us will take the most important step--the necessity of taking time to write down your thoughts, dreams, visions, and goals. This comes from data gleaned from interviews with successful people in many different fields, who had written down their objectives and spent time on a daily basis renewing their commitment to those goals.

While the classic story of the 1953 Harvard class has been debunked, it is safe to say that the myth teaches a powerful truth. Most people, I would speculate less than 10%, EVER write down goals, and probably less than 5% take the time to regularly review and update their lists.

However, it is also true that among those who become famous or successful, writing and visualizing every day about their goals and ambitions is very common. Dr. Win Wenger believes that the very act of writing about your goals and thoughts will stimulate more development in your brain and will help you achieve your ambitions.

Maybe so. But simply taking out a sheet of paper and scribbling out some general good suggestions for the next couple of years isn’t going to do much. You still have to take decisive action and do things to accomplish your goals. However, taking the time to write them down (by hand, on paper, by the way!) can be an important part of raising your awareness, generating positive energy vibrations, and increasing your self- confidence.

Here is one way you can get started:

A Three Step Process to Achieve Your Big Dream

Let’s face it: very few of us come close to achieving our true potential. Marianne Williamson writes: “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, “Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?” Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of god. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are born to make manifest the glory of god that is within us. It is not just in some of us. It is in everyone. And as we let our light shine, we give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

I agree with Marianne. A major reason that many of us underachieve is because we don’t allow ourselves the luxury of imagining what could be possible in our lives if we simply got out of our own way. And because we won’t allow ourselves to envision it or imagine it, what we want becomes impossible for us to ever create. Every super successful person you’ve ever heard of will tell you that it all starts with dreaming of big, expansive, seemingly impossible dreams and making a commitment to seeing them come into being. It’s scary, it’s uncomfortable, and it’s so very necessary because when you allow yourself to entertain truly big dreams, your self-esteem and self-confidence begin to climb. As you feel better and more confident about your ability to handle whatever life throws at you, you become more flexible and open to innovation. This is really the moment that things begin to change for the better.
