Are you doing what you love? Do you look forward to going to work every day? Do you feel you are making a difference? Do you feel appreciated?
I would love to hear from anyone who has found their life’s purpose along with the challenges and determination it took to get to where you wanted to be.
Recently a friend of mine completed her University Degree and whilst this was extremely hard and challenging for her, as a bystander, 4 years seemed to fly by. I am astonished at how she put her mind to it and just did it and the short time it took in comparison to the rest of her life. She has now secured her first job and I know she is looking forward now to the rest of her life with achievement and purpose with her every step of the way. I not only envy her, but I am inspired by the trials and extreme challenges she had to go through to get where she wanted to be.
I find personally there is always an excuse that I find to prevent me from following what I believe to be my life’s purpose. Mother to two children, a mortgage and bills keep me tied to a job that on a weekly basis provides me with enough just to get by. I do love my current job but there is always that fight within me that wants to do more and a knowing that this is not what I was put here to do.
I think the fear of failure, lack of financial security and the fact that I am not only just looking after myself and I have two other people to consider in the decisions I make, makes me less inclined to step out of what I refer to as the Safety Box.
Do you struggle through knowing that you could be doing something totally different if only finances and circumstances would let you? Or have you been strong enough and thrown caution to the wind and jumped straight in without any knowledge of how it was going to happen and only the trust that you know it will come to fruition.
We all have dreams and of course I have learnt, that it is only us that can make our dreams a reality, so why do we put our life on hold until….. Before you know it, 10 or 20 years have flown by and there is still that until….
Each and every one of us is given a special gift, something we enjoy or something we are just extremely good at, but how many of us actually use the gift we’ve been given. If you have delved into yourself your life’s purpose usually can be found around the things you love to do or things that interest you. I think that’s just a hint to let you know the direction to follow but getting to the actual destination is sometimes not so easy.
I am constantly inspired by people’s determination to make their dreams come true. Many may be knocked down 3-4 times before they get it right but instead of stopping the first of second time it didn’t work, they just persisted and kept going.
