Living Your Life Purpose
Words of Empowerment
As I sit with this topic of Living Your Life Purpose, it occurs to me that there are many of us who don’t necessarily know what that is. Or maybe deep down we do know, but we make excuses or give reasons as to why we aren’t doing it or can’t do it. I was raised with the belief that financial security only came in one way. Get a job, earn a paycheck and fit into a corporate world where the boundaries and expectations are clearly laid out. I mean, some of us learned this early on from going to school. How to fit in, comply and conform. At least, this was how I accepted this ideology. So how do I find my life’s purpose? How does anyone? Is it selfish to want to follow it? And if not, can one be financially supported by following our heart? Because that is what it comes down to. What is your heart telling you?
I, personally, know in my heart of hearts what I want to do. It’s believing and executing it that has held me back up until now. But I’ll get into that more later. If you don’t know what your life’s purpose is, I would suggest you ask yourself theses questions to start.
- If money was no object, what would you want to do? What would you spend your time, energy, and creativity on?
- What did you love to do as a child? When no one was looking, what gave you unbridled, genuine joy?
