"Until one is committed there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too.
All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issue from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no many could have dreamt would come his way." W.H. Murray
Introduction
When self-employed, you quickly learn that your actions shape your life. Whether you thrive is up to you, and your lifestyle is the result of the money you generate.
You have the right, the power, and the resources to create what you want. Begin by being clear and releasing fear, self-limiting attitudes and patterns. Allow yourself to visualize your dream, uncensored by the restrictions and conditioning from your past. Clarify your purpose, function, and vision, strategize the right plan, offer your service to those who are ready to buy, and you will succeed. Now you will begin with your Life Purpose Vision. If needed, ask your friend to help draw out your vision by asking additional probing questions based on your responses.
Complete this activity any time you want to:
- Focus your goals over a long period of time
- Clarify your purpose, function, or vision
- Review your long-term goals.
1. Purpose. What do you think is the fundamental purpose of your life? If you are not sure, what is your best guess? Your purpose should reflect why you believe you are alive for your own development, rather than for others.
2. Function. Based on your purpose, what do you think is your function in society?
3. Peak of Success Vision. In the same reflective mood, consider the point in your life at which you could be at the peak of your success. How old will you be? If you don't know, be playful and guess.
Now, consider the quality of life you want for yourself at that time. Answer in complete sentences. Visualize how you want to be living and experience how you want to feel. Describe:
- Where you live
- Your home environment and the people with whom you live
- Service, career and business
- Financial matters
- Professional support network
- Family, friendships and other relationships
- Your spare time and private time
- Your personal needs, health and well-being
- Spirituality
- Your modes of creative self-expression
- How you are empowered
- Above everything else, what do you want from your life?
When you have finished your vision, using a planning chart, write the titles of each category above in the spaces provided. Identify key elements of your vision, then write them in abbreviated terms in the appropriate category.
4. Support. How do you believe you are supported to fulfill your purpose, function, and vision? When you want support, from where do you seek it? When you don't feel supported, what do you do? Determine the effectiveness of this strategy. How do you want to feel supported? What will you do to experience the support you want?
5. Limitations. List and describe the self-limiting beliefs, fears, and patterns, by which you currently feel inhibited. (Example: I fear rejection, so I don't reach out. and stay stuck.) How does this affect your ability to succeed? Identify what you are ready to change and explain how you will accomplish it. With what will you replace these limitations?
6. Shadow. What need, desire or aspect of personality, do you most suppress or fear? For example, do you fear your anger? Or do you suppress positive attributes, such as sensitivity or love. (If you are not sure, ask someone close to you for help.) Why do you suppress or fear this? Explain how suppressing this affects you. Determine how you will stop suppressing it, and how to allow greater freedom of expression, and describe how you will feel. Describe how your life purpose, function, and vision will be enhanced.
7. Resources. List your internal strengths and resources and explain how they empower you. Review this list. Determine if anything is missing, and how you will acquire it. List your external resources and, next to each, explain how it is supportive. Review your list and determine needed resources, and explain how you will utilize them. Include costs and dates when appropriate.
8. Conclusion. How do you feel now? Why? Describe what you have gained from this visioning. Write a commitment statement to yourself and to your purpose, function, and vision. Read it daily. Share it with your mentors and the people closest to you, so that they are better able to support you.
Life With A Purpose
By knowing what it is you're here for, or at least, being able to read the messages that the universe sends you about finding life purpose in your life is a major breakthrough.
Have you ever been working at something, or talking to someone about a certain subject or doing a certain enjoyable activity and you've found that time stands still because you enjoy it so much?
Well that's commonly known as the zone in sports, and in life it's living with passion or findng life purpose. Once you have this beautiful area of almost meditative bliss in your life, where you go down through the quite and inside yourself to that special place, where doing what it is you love to do is literally making you better and better, rather than what most people experience with thier jobs, life and relationships, which tends to make them sicker and sicker of life.
I mean who literally looks forward to Monday mornings, awake bright eye'd and bushy tailed, ready to take on the day with passion and flair?... Not many right?
And you can only guess how many would not be looking forward to getting up and going to a job, school or a role they dismally dislike.
Once you begin finding life purpose you will never feel bad about what it is you do again. I'm not saying there won't be any trials or stumbling blocks in your life, as there most certainly will be, but instead of not looking forward to them, you'll be welcoming them into your life with passion and enthusiasm.
Now finding life purpose for some is quite difficult and it doesn't need to be, some of you might be thinking well it's ok for you, because you're already making good money online full time and that's what you love to do, and yes it is, even more so I love to help people like yourselves find the resources and take action on implementing them into your lives, so you can be as enriched as I truly feel.
It's not hard to find your lifes purpose, lets get down to some practical steps to really finding life purpose as it stands for you:
1. List on a sheet of paper what things you love to do in your spare time, without being paid to do them.
2. What do you do well, above anything else (there should be one outstanding thing).
3. What type of people do you mix with and or attract into your life on a consistent basis?
4. What patterns in your life do you find happen to you again and again?
5. How do you feel when your under pressure doing the things you love doing?
I ask questions like this, so you can begin to understand what makes you tick, what you would attempt if you knew you couldn't fail and had unlimited money and resources, the personality of your dreams to get that particular thing done that you'd love to do.
If finding life purpose this way is still difficult for you, then you need to go a step further and go deep inside yourself.
I would recommend some meditation music such as Holysinc or Harmonic Ascension audios from their respective websites to take you deep down and put you in a creative state, the harmonic ascension audios are excellent for this purpose.
Once you hit this peaceful place after about 10 minutes just take you mind off the main focus and explore the realms of wherever your mind takes you... Relax...
This may take you hours, days, months or in my case years to find the one fun life purpose track that you desire, but once you find your life purpose and begin living it, putting action towards making it a reality, you will become addicted to how good it makes you feel.
It took me 4 years in finding life purpose for myself, but now that I have it, it becomes clearer and clearer and more fun each day.
Firstly I thought that I wanted to be an IT consultant and help people with their computers, then it was helping beginners on their new computers and I made many friends that way.
But over time a recurring pattern keet happening to me, and I was always drawn towards coaching people in a sales environment, and I enjoyed that even more, until I manifested a business doing sales coaching for people all around the world.
Then it went even deeper, I always found myself looking into peoples Psychology and what makes them tick, as well as the metaphysical and spiritual reasoning behind it... Until I finally arrived at my current position of life / business coach utilizing the 12 laws of the universe (not just that of law of attraction) and teaching this to people who are open to it, along with the 21 sub-laws.
This is a topic that I feel so happy in delving into, I can spend days writing on it and researching it, literally without eating much or doing anything other, it's like I go into a world or universe of my own, it's magic and bliss for me. And on top of this bliss I get rewarded with income from doing what I'm passionately in love with.
Now that's finding life purpose to the enth degree and being completely and utterly fullfilled by it. And I know you can do the same, and it's a journey that you need to be patient with, surrender to and "allow" it gently to happen, and it will.
