Everywhere you turn, you see people talking about how you ‘should’ know your passion, how you ‘should’ be living your purpose and how you ‘should’ tap into your potential…
I think that message is very elusive.
Because here's the thing... Most people are frustrated, afraid and feel ashamed because they don’t know what they are supposed to be doing.
When I began my journey 14 years ago, I did not know what my passion or purpose was.
I remember feeling lost and confused.
If I don’t know what my purpose is, how am I to live it?
If I haven't overcome my challenges, how am I to help someone else?
If I still feel the fear, how am I to inspire others?
But the answer is right there in that paradox.
Unless you face the rough waters, unless you are OK with inviting challenges, you're doing the same thing, you're going through the motions, you're on auto-pilot and you're going to get the same results.
You have choice in that moment to say, "Enough of what's not working, I am willing to claim a different future!"
I truly believe that we're shaping our next moment right now. You can make decisions to give you the opportunity to become the person you admire in 4 years' time, 5 years' time, 10 years's time.
If you too are just starting to scratch the surface, to exploring the possibilities, to listening to that whisper within. Pathway To Purpose.
Welcome that moment. And ask, "What am I going to do about it?"
It can be frustrating and overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be.
(This is coming from someone who did not have a clue about her purpose, and now living it every day by transforming hundreds of thousands of lives through The Coaching Institute…)
The problem is not that we don’t know our purpose… the problem is we forget to accept ourselves the way we are.
Have you experienced moments when you felt totally connected with a task you were pursuing? Perhaps you were in the “zone” while running a not-for-profit campaign, or helping someone by giving advice on their business.
Being in alignment with your purpose made you feel alive, connected and “in the flow”, which is great for your emotional wellbeing.
By association, your life purpose and passion will go hand in hand – in other words, if you have an awareness around what you’re tremendously passionate about, what lights you up, what drives you, you are close to discovering your life purpose.
