I am on the train today going to New Jersey so I decided to write an article while traveling. I started to ponder on a topic to write about when all of sudden the train started slowing down for its next stop and I heard the conductor say: "Next Stop Delaware." Then it hit me, what if your next stop was your purpose/passion? The door opens, you step off, and there it is the life of your dreams. Wow!
Look around, what would your world look like? Well, this could very well happen to you if you start unleashing the passion for purpose within you. You do not live in this world just to have the testimony that you're here, but we live here to discover, develop, and to determine what we are most passionate about. Once we go through our process of discovering, we must start living on purpose. We are all purposed to be great in some area of our lives. I want to take the time to answer some questions that people most frequently ask me:
Question: What is Purpose/Passion?
Answer: Have you ever said, "I know what I'm supposed to do, but just can't seem to put my finger on it." Well, I think we all have said this at one time or another. Our purpose has to be defined; which means: to state the precise meaning of, or to describe the nature or basic quality of. In other words, what moves you! When I speak of your purpose I'm not talking about something that you have an interest in, but this is something you live for.
Question: How do I discover my Purpose/Passion?
Answer: You have been graced with such awesome gifts and talents that are already planted within. If someone told you that there was a pot of gold within you and all you have to do was search for it, what would you do? Well, yes you would search for it. You hold the key to your success. Your gold mine is nuggets that you have been operating in all along. You have been blessed with capabilities to travel back into the archives of time to search out your treasures. Some of your gifts are laying right on the surface just waiting to be gathered for your use. As I said before, you have been operating in these gifts all along. What are you passionate about? In other words, you would do this even if you were not paid for it. You wake up in the morning eager to do this. Do not rule anything out. What might seem silly to you could be the very thing that will shape your life into what was intended from the beginning
Question:How do I develop my Purpose/Passion?
Answer: Once you determine what it is that you are gifted to do, set some goals and start making something happen in regards to your purpose. Maybe spend some time researching and studying it, or even start something part-time. Remember it's nothing new! Now it's time to get paid for it. Begin to develop great habits on purpose...practice purpose!
Question: How do I get started?
Answer: Take Action: Find out what's going on around town that is related to what you love to do. You can also search the internet for a seminar or conference that relates to your passion/purpose. Get up and Go! Meet some people with like passions and exchange business cards and email addresses. Start building an effective list of potential clients. Start putting into practice some of the nuggets that you have obtained. Get excited in such a way that your purpose/passion is now in the driver's seat of your life. ALWAYS Invest In Your Own Future!
Live Life On Purpose!
