What’s my life purpose?
With all the “busy-ness” of life and the work I do online I keep putting aside the one thing I believe I am here to work on when I ask myself the question What’s my life purpose?
For years I have written in the personal development field never really with an outcome to make money – just because I love sharing what I have learnt over the last 18 years. Over the last few weeks I have been helping to guide a fairly new blogger towards discovering what they want to blog about and in the process it reminded me of my purpose too.
It is that old struggle of money versus passion/purpose and trusting that when you follow passion your life will end up the way you want it to be. The problem is if we start off concerned about money all we do is put our concern about having no money into our future which then brings us what we are thinking about – no money.
I experienced that during the recession. In 2008 I lost 3 big contracts and was left with very little work – my concern (and I really should know better) focused on having no contracts and no money coming in – it was only when I realized what I was doing that I stopped and reversed the trend. It took a little while but now in my future is only more work and an abundantly rich life (that is spirtually as well as financially rich).
What’s my life purpose? To share inspirational guidance with the world. To raise self confidence in women and to help them experience the altogether fabulous people that they really are leaving them free to embrace happiness and peace.
What’s your life purpose, are you living it? And if you are not, why not?
Altogether Fabulous isn’t something you work towards it is something you are
Being altogether fabulous is something you are right now. Only we don’t always recognise how fabulous we are – choosing instead to recognize what is wrong with us and our life. So I want you to know that you are already altogether fabulous and now all we have to do is remove all the fears, obstacles, guilt, doubts and other limits in your way so that the altogether fabulous you shines through.
When will you know you are there? When you decide you are. When you decide that you are living a life you love and you are happy with who you are. That doesn’t mean problems don’t ever come your way or things won’t go wrong – the truth is on the altogether fabulous journey of life things “go wrong” more than normal because we are always being given an opportunity to be the best that we can be.
Being altogether fabulous isn’t something you work towards it is something you are. Problems become a blessing because they teach you something about yourself that you can transform so that it is no longer an issue for you. Embracing problems on your altogether fabulous journey is something I recommend you learn how to do – it may not happen overnight (and then again it just might) and you will need to work towards looking at life in a totally different way.
Love yourself and you won’t be selfish
We have this so wrong. So many times we believe that if you love yourself you are being selfish but in fact that is wrong. when you don’t love yourself you are being selfish because you are not taking the time to make yourself happy, to do what brings you joy. Instead you are unhappy which you take out on those close to you and the people you love the most.
The most unselfish thing you can do is to learn how to love yourself so that you feel good about yourself because when you do you are so much happier than you can ever imagine.
