Life Purpose

It's been a truly amazing week for me this week because for the first time in 45 years I finally worked it out!
Worked what out ?I hear you ask..........My Life Ppurpose

It was one of those surreal moments when it hit me and what amazed me even more was that it was so simple that it was almost ridiculous.  So what is it I'm talking about?  this life purpose.  It can be known as your motto, your guiding principal, your calling, your North Star. Whatever you care to call it, it is what you abide by for the goals. accomplishments and destinations you choose to pursue.

It has nothing to do with money, fame or who has the most toys,  it has everything to do with your inner most desires and a feeling that you are truly pursuing the thing or things that make you happy.  That being said how do you find it?  and why do so many people including me up till now struggle to find what it is?

I believe it has a lot to do with the fact that many of us live in conflict to what we truly desire this can be out of fear, out of obligation or simply because we don't possess the right belief systems to think we could ever live the life we want. I think for me it was a combination off all of the above.

You may find that your life purpose like mine is made up of a combination of things that I previously believed were quite separate and in conflict with each other I really thought I had to choose one or the other I perceived them as being at complete different ends of the spectrum, I was so wrong.

If you have no idea what your purpose is that's OK because your not alone, most people sadly will never realise it or if they do they will be too fearful or even embarrassed to tell anyone. They'll tell themselves it's just a silly pipe dream to be realistic after all I've got commitments or I'm too old to go off chasing dreams, people will think I'm crazy or I'm just an ordinary person how could I evre make a difference.

Don't be one of those people you owe it to yourself to live a full and happy life.
I'd like to share some advise on how to find yours and hopefully the insight I have gained by finding mine will maybe short track the process for you. I sincerely hope so.

Identify what you love, not what you like but what you really love what you are really passionate about. Not what will make you the most money or buy you the biggest house but what you would do for free just out of love.  I'll give you an example from my life.
I am a very passionate conservationist I love nature and I love wildlife as a result for many years now I have been a wildlife rescuer and rehabilitator now I don't get paid to do this work, I volunteer in fact it actually costs me quite a bit of money for food, medication, equipment and fuel going out to do these rescues, sick and orphaned animals also take a lot of my time. My other passion is personal development now I always seen this as a way to grow with the sole purpose of building my career, climbing the corporate ladder and when you have the high flying career then you don't have time to be rescuing baby birds, possums and snakes. hence my conflict.

What I failed to see that the two did not need to be separate.....So what is my life purpose?

"To contribute to make the world a better place
not just for humanity but for all of nature."

That's it!    yes it"s that simple and how does that fit in with my passions of conservation and personal development? and how did I stop the conflict between the two?

Well because I have made personal development my business I get to not only grow myself I get to help other people in the process achieve their dreams and the fact that I can run my business from home I have more time to dedicate to my wildlife work and as I fulfill my financial goals through my work It gets me closer to my dream of buying land to use as a sanctuary to rehabilitate the animals to be re released to the wild but also as a safe place for the ones unable to go back to live out their days. so you see I get to contribute to make the world a better place not just for humanity but for all of nature.

Take some time out to think about what it is you are truly passionate about don't worry about whether or not you think you can do it, just identify it we'll talk about overcoming your limiting beliefs another time because discovering your life purpose and living it are two different things but I can assure you once you discover it you'll be so excited nothing will stop you from pursuing it.

Have an exceptional week
