Follow Your Bliss for More Purpose in Life!

"Don't ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive." -Howard Thurman

Searching for Purpose

Are you searching for a purpose to your life? Well, let me ask you a question: "Do you know what makes you tick?"



Do you know what you want?



It seems an easy question, is not it? But many of us, we are already so out of our hearts, and identities that we do not even know what makes us more excited. Since children are born with a congenital and an immediate sense of what we want - food! And Mom! And sleep! As we grow, we know what we want to play with toys, the food we eat and we did not! But then we encounter the world, "public opinion" and tell us what "should and should not" want. How much of what we are today is stronger than a cast of all individuals (parents, teachers, coaches, employers, even pastors), they told us they think we are and what they think we should look like?



Your internal GPS

This can have a very damaging effect on our sense of purpose - because our internal GPS is our personal joy. The thing that gives us a buzz, that makes us feel alive - this is what we should be doing. For some, that might be an activity (sports, writing, teaching) or for others a way of interacting with others (making people laugh, listening to hurt people, inspiring others to be their best selves).

Living the dream

We have to shrug off the 'shoulds' and silence the 'never coulds' and think about the 'what ifs' of life. The dream is to be able to make a living at something you love. Being paid to do something that you would do anyway - that's the way to make life work for you and to feel purposeful. So get out a pen and paper and start to write down the times when you've felt most alive. Then go back and look at them again - what do they have in common? What are the themes? Can you get your internal GPS back on track by tuning into the things that deliver a great big dose of energy straight into your heart?

That's why I'm a Life Coach

For me, I'm an encourager. That's my purpose - I love to connect with people and give them a great big dose of positivity so that they can see their own potential and change their lives to experience an abundance of joy and life. That's why I'm a Life Coach. I can pour my workday energy directly into my purpose in life. Not only does it pay the bills, but it fills up my energy tank and keeps me buzzing. I love it.

And I believe there are ways for you to get back to the essence of who you are made to be - not what other people think of you, but who you truly know you are. So start making your Joy List - and give me a call!

Live with Passion and Have Abundance in Life!
