A regular dose of Timeless Wisdom, Instant Inspiration and Personal Development - It's like having your own Personal Life Coach

So many "Personal Development Gurus" have latched onto this notion that there is a specific purpose for your life. Worse than them latching onto the notion, they try to sell it to you and convince you that until you find it, and fulfil it, you are going to be unhappy.

You know, life is tough enough as it is without having the burden of feeling that your life has been wasted as you haven't found your purpose, and the burden of having to search for it.

There is of course some method behind this madness. If you feel bad enough about not having found and/or fulfilled your purpose then it will be easier to convince you to part with your cash to go to their seminar where they will give you the "secret" recipe.

Anyone who knows me, knows that I have a large number of books and that I study this issue of personal development constantly. Well, I have to say that with all my studies I have not found the answer to "Why are we here?" I have to say that I truly do not know whether there is a "Purpose" to our lives. What I do know however is that everything that we do has a purpose, a reason, driving the action and that we should do everything that we do on purpose. We should take deliberate action in order to achieve a definite purpose.

When asked "What is the purpose of life?" my answer is "The purpose of life is to live it and you are only truly living when you know what you are doing and, more importantly, why you are doing it."

This is the key to a fulfilled life. "To know what you are doing and why you are doing it." The "why" is especially important as only when you are clear on the "Why" the reason for your actions, can you determine whether or not what you are doing is helping you to achieve it.

So let's unleash the Power of Purpose in your life. To start let's understand that there are three parts to purpose.

The first is the "Intention of the Act" this is the purpose, the why, the reason, the result that you want to achieve. Knowing this allows you to act purposefully.

The second is the "Intention to Act" This is when you set your mind to do a thing. This is when you say "This I will do."

The third is the "Acting with Intention" This is the deliberate performance of the act. This is when you act on purpose, not a random action but a carefully considered act with a definite outcome in mind.

In order to make sure that you are acting "on purpose" you need to know the answer to "Why am I doing this?" To get the answer to this question ask yourself the following questions:-

1. What is my desired outcome? What is the result that I want?

2. What do I want to achieve? What do I want to get from this?

Here you should be honest and dig deep. To each answer ask "And why do I want that?" Do this at least five times and you will discover your "REAL" intention.

This helps to paint the "Big Picture" and gives meaning to the "small" tasks that make up our daily lives as you now realise their value in helping you achieve your desired outcome.

When you have the "Why" you can now effectively evaluate the "What" by asking:-

1. Why am I doing this? Is this the right thing to do?

2. Why am I doing it this way? Is this the right way?

3. Why am I doing it at this time? Is this the right time to do it?

This lets you evaluate if what you are doing, and the way that you are doing it, is helping you to achieve what you want?

Identifying the purpose of your actions and then acting purposely does not make life easy, it makes life worthwhile. It takes away that feeling of wasted time and the feeling of worthlessness for it is purpose that gives direction and meaning to all the activities of your life.

When you take the time to identify the outcome that you want and why you want that outcome and you then evaluate if what you are doing is taking you to where you want to be you can say with pride that you are living your life on purpose.

Here's a thought to carry with you and to ponder over. If you are like most people that I have met you haven't yet "found your purpose" and you don't know what it is. This puts you in a great position. Why? Well if you don't know what your purpose is then how do you know that this that you are doing is not your purpose? You don't know do you? But it might be, so why not do it as if it were your purpose. Do what you do purposefully, live your life on purpose and you will have fulfilled your purpose.

Remember

That it is always too late to go back and make a new start but

it is never too late to make a start toward a new ending.

That you, and you alone, are the ruler of your life. Rule wisely.

It is up to you to choose who you want to be then to behave yourself into that role.

{-------------------------------}

Keep on growing. Be true to the you that you want to be.

Have a great day and make memories you can be proud of.

With love light and blessings
