Introduction
Since the beginning of humankind, after man’s search for food, lodging
and procreation he/she started wondering – What am I doing here? What
is the purpose of my existence? Should I being doing something in
particular with my life? These questions and many more have been
concerning man for eons, so why should today, in this time and this
place be any different?
Your journey, should you decide to accept it, is to find your
life purpose. It may be challenging at times, in so many different
ways, to discover your life purpose however it is within you
nonetheless. And it is truly a process of discover. It is a process of
discovering your real self, your true self, the self that is you in this
time and in this place. The process will challenge you in ways known
and unknown to you but I will guarantee you, once you have found your
life’s purpose, your life’s mission, you will never be the same again!
Your life will be elevated to a whole new level – one of joy, peace and
prosperity!
A Little Bit of Spiritual Stuff to Help You On Your Journey
Spirituality offers many benefits to our lives. Developing your
spiritual life can give you a sense of purpose and guidance. People who
have taken time to develop their spiritual life are also likely to
better understand their personal needs.
It’s
unfortunate that there is so much misconception about spirituality.
Spirituality is not religion. One may be spiritual and not religious.
Is it not the purpose of this article to discuss the merits of religion
as the work discussed here is meant to be “in addition to and not
instead of” your current religious and/or spiritual practices.
Here are two exercises that will help you connect with your
spirituality. The two exercises are Prayer and Mediation. It is said
that if you want to speak to God (or your Higher Power, the Universe,
Nature, or what ever you believe in) you pray and if you want to hear
the answer to those prayers you meditate.
Your Job and Your Work – What’s the Difference?
There is a clear distinction between ones “job” and “work”. A
job is a task that provides you with some type of remuneration,
like a pay check or other type of compensation. Your true work
is what your real purpose is in life, your calling, it brings you
complete satisfaction. The ultimate scenario is to have your job and
your work be one. If you love what you do you never feeling like it is
a grind to get up in the morning and you’ll welcome each new day with
joy, pleasant expectations and happiness.
What’s Your Passion?
What is your passion? What do you really love to do? If
someone were to say to you I will pay you a very good salary/fee for
your services, what would that service be? This is a very good time to
start “brainstorming” with yourself and others about what you are really
passionate about. Money is no object! What makes you happy!
J Give this some time and sit with this.
Why is this important you may ask? Sometimes we have a habit
to only think in a certain way and we need to stir things up a bit. If
you are a conventional thinking person be unconventional here! If are a
unconventional thinking person try some conventional thinking for a
change. If you are an analytical thinking person get creative and
conversely if you are a creative person think analytical. Use both
sides of your brain. Think out of the box, think out of your
box. You will be pleasantly surprised!
Your True Job – Learn How to Find It!
To
find your true job there are three very important subjects that must be
mastered; personal networking, the proper way to write a resume and
cover letters. With market conditions being highly competitive for the
foreseeable future I find most people take these three topics very
lightly conversely successful people take these topics extremely
seriously. The truth is we live in a very competitive world with those
knowing what to do and doing it right get where they want to go and
achieve all that they want to achieve. Learn and master these three
areas and you will be on your way to finding your ideal job and a job
you really enjoy doing.
Should I be an Entrepreneur?
Running your own business can be the most rewarding experience of
your life, the freedom to do whatever you want and whenever you want to
do it. It can also be the worse experience of your life, consuming
every aspect of your life and all your finances. Being an
entrepreneur is not for everyone and not for people that are not willing
to do whatever it takes. To do things they never have done before
or perform uncomfortable tasks that need to be done in order to run a
successful business. It can also be the most rewarding thing you have
ever done, taking a concept from thought to creation and delivering your
product and/or service and having a positive impact on other people’s
lives and making money doing so, will make you feel like you have made a
real difference in this world.
Your Life Purpose Statement – Let the World Know Who You Really Are!
Your Life Purpose Statement is similar to a company’s Mission
Statement in that you are telling others what is your purpose and how
they can benefit by knowing and working with you. This is done for a
number of reasons, one of which is to inform people what you do and how
it can help them. We also live in a time that we need to
let people know in the short amount of time what we do.
Conclusion
This is not the end but the
beginning, a new beginning in your life! Remember that you are not
alone and that your life is getting better and better. You have
wonderful unique gifts, skills and knowledge that will help you make a
difference in the lives of so many people. The world is waiting for
you, so don’t keep them waiting any longer. Go out there and live your
life purpose and have a happy, prosperous and fulfilled life!
