Do you want to know your life’s purpose? I know many people do want this for their life. Some people, though, are afraid. They are afraid they will discover that their purpose is something they don’t want it to be.
I insist that this will not be the case. It’s not like you will look under a rock, find your purpose, and be upset. You won’t be thinking “Darn! That’s not what I want! I don’t like it!”
On the contrary, it will be perfect… for you.
In all our work at Simply Great Lives, we have found that your purpose is a beautiful blend of both discovery and choice. Trust me, you won’t end up with a purpose you hate or even that’s a bad fit for you.
Purpose is part discovery. As you explore your passions and get to know yourself better, you will find there are many things you’re passionate about. That means there are many, many options for you for your purpose.
Even when people come to us who feel they are clear on what they want to do, we always encourage them to thoroughly explore their passions first. This process opens up options and will keep you from getting stuck when one course of action is not working out. Really knowing your passions can only help you in getting clear on your purpose.
Purpose is also part choice. After the discovery that comes from self-exploration, you get to choose. You get to choose what exactly you want to make different in the lives of other people. It’ll be a difference you’re really passionate about. You also get to choose how you want to go about creating that change. In this part of the process, you can make sure it is a great fit for who you are.
First discovery, then choice. It’s a beautiful dance between the two. This blend makes your purpose just right for you.
I want you to be encouraged. You can make a difference you’re really passionate about in a way that’s a great fit for you. It is your purpose, you’re calling. It’s what you’ll be remembered for when you’re gone. It’ll be your life’s legacy. When you are living your purpose, you wil experience meaning, significance and satisfaction. You deserve those things for yourself.
Start the dance now. Dance with discovering who you are and choosing what you are a stand for. There are many people who need your unique, positive impact in their life sooner rather than later.
