When I took on my dream job 18 years ago, I thought it was my space for achievement, validation, and retirement. I was wrong. It was a space of wanting to be more, do more, and never being fulfilled. It was not a space where I was free to be me. The dread of my career turned into a life of existing. I’m grateful for my17 years of career experience, but I had to choose my purpose.
Have you chosen your purpose?
One of the greatest assets inside of you is the ability to choose what you want for your life. Every day we choose how we want our day to start and end. The power of our personal preference is available to us daily. One of the ultimate choices we have is to choose to live our purpose. What path have you chosen to take in life? Is it a path to live your purpose or a path to hope that one day an opportunity will come your way?
Everyday your desire to be more and do more is waiting on you to choose the life you were created for. Just like you were born with a heart to live, you were born with a purpose to live. I had the opportunity to hear gospel jazz artist Ben Tankard tell his story of being self- taught, he learned to play the piano on his own. He is a platinum recording artist, with notable awards, and written over 200 songs. His success started with the choice to use the talent he was born with. To get started with identifying your purpose, answer the following questions:
What talents and skills do you possess?
What is your passion?
How does your talent and skills support your passion?
How can you seize opportunities with your passion, talents, and skills?
When you don’t make the choice to live your purpose, you make the choice to live a life of existing which leads to being unfulfilled. This is the power of choice. A choice will be made for you when you do not make a decision to live a life of purpose.
Your desire of feeling fulfilled begins when you choose your purpose. The following are keys to include in your choice to live the life you were created for:
Commitment: Starting a new journey include unexpected changes, adapting to new habits, changing environments, trusting your decision, etc. The process of change will guarantee results when you are committed to your decision to live a life of purpose.
Positive attitude: Your attitude provides the energy needed to put into action your choice to live your purpose. Some days you may experience failure, fears, and uncertainty. A positive attitude will help you continue to move forward when you may not see progress.
Expectation: Your faith helps you trust the process and belief that you will live your purpose when outside circumstances do not support your expectation.
Begin 2017 with the choice to live your purpose.
You are valuable! Live your worth with purpose!
