Are you living your purpose? Kind of a daunting question.
I have been blessed to live my purpose for a good portionof my life. I knew at a young age, running around the neighborhood kids with sticks, shooting at one another, that I wanted to be in the military.
I was drawn to it. Luckily for me I was able to serve.
I am entering a crossroads where I must decide to continue to serve or find another purpose and I don't quite know what that is yet.
I am sure I am not the only one so I hope this is helpful to you.
From the book "Killing Sacred Cows"
Our Soul Purpose is the reason that we were born.
Purpose The ultimate end of every one of our decisions—financial and otherwise—should be to get us closer to finding and living our Soul Purpose.
It is the thing that brings us the most joy and creates the most value for others. It is the development of our full potential.
It is what causes us to reach far beyond the mediocrity of social agreements. It is what gets us beyond a "normal" life to live extraordinarily.
When you live you Soul Purpose you produce and add value at your highest level.
You can't produce at your highest levels until you know what your highest potential is.
And you can never learn what your highest potential is if you allow other people and institutions with vested interests to tell you what your ideal should be.
You are the only one qualified to determine if a proposal aligns with your best interest and your highest capability to produce and create value.
Knowing what is in your best interest is a monumental step toward overcoming destructive myths and performing at your highest level.
Here are some questions to ask yourself that will aid in the discovery of your Soul Purpose:
If money were of no concern, what would you spend your time doing?
What would be so exciting that you would want to jump out of bed early each morning to get to it?
What strengths, abilities, skills, or advantages do you feel you bring to the table that could be utilized to create maximum value in the marketplace?
In what areas do you have superior skill and extreme passion? What things could you do all day long, without thought of fatigue, or what could you do that would create energy?
What do you do that brings compliments?
What do you believe in and consistently talk about? What causes are worthy of your life?
What activities offer you the most fulfillment?
If you were doing exactly what you wanted, what would that be?
What are your priorities?
What are your values?
What opportunities or circumstances do you currently have that may be helpful in creating value for others?
What people do you know who have tremendous success, knowledge, and ability?
What do they do?
How do they think?
What can you learn from from them?
