Get ready to go on life long journey

When will you get there?



Your purpose is likely to change and evolve as you do. And
once you begin to grasp the sense of fun and excitement that
occurs when you begin to explore your purpose you want to
change and evolve with you. Get ready to go on a life long
journey of discovering your purpose. To begin with your goals
may be small. We can actually only conceive in our heads that
which we truly believe we can possibly achieve. If you’ve ever
had a big dream thought, and really focused on it, you’ll find
your mind can often place up blocks or reasons why that dream
won’t be happening for you. The key is to constantly try to
stretch the dream we have for our purpose.

That means we may need to rework our purpose every five to
ten years. What motivates you in your twenties may not give
you the same rush in your thirties or your forties. Keep a check
on yourself and what you want to be living in the now- not what
you wanted five years ago.



If you are reading this as a teen or young person, use your youth
to your best advantage. The times we have as a single person
with no huge amounts of responsibility including paying all
those boring bills and having a partner are the very best times to


use our time well and experience as much of life as we can.
Spend this time not only studying but learning skills in
leadership, organization, and people skills through voluntary
work, hobbies and generally living your life.



No matter your age, become someone who says yes to life, as
then you open yourself up to opportunity. As you begin to say
yes, you begin to see new ways to achieve your purpose that you
may have thought were unlikely before. Never say you are to
busy to get there. As the saying goes, “If you want something
done, give it to a busy person.” A person who is busy on life, not
just busy on trying to wearily make it to the next bedtime
actually has the time to do the things they really want to do.

We all have choices on how we spend our time. Use it well, and
carefully.



How did I get here?



Being thankful every day for where you are now, and where you
are going keeps your thoughts on track. If you can’t be thankful
for any aspect of your life, then it is likely that you are living a
life that is not consistent with the purpose you were designed
for. And if you have lost that ability to be thankful, you need to
start to create it to give yourself the strength to move out of that
negative situation.

Start the day with thankfulness. Before you get up in the
morning say some thank yous. If you have a faith, this is like
praying. However the concept works regardless- it’s just
acknowledging the things in your life you love or care about. It
may be people, situations or possessions.



At the end of the day, just before bed, repeat the exercise. Then
you start and end the day on a positive note. It doesn’t take a lot
of time and it’s a good way to create a circle of thankfulness to
set up and end your day on.
