Purpose, Passion and Other Motivations

What do you want to be when you grow up?

Have you figured out your burning desire?

What's your purpose in life, your passion for living?

The subjects of money, love and fame usually always come to mind as people answer these life changing questions, feeling confused and empty.

 I say ENOUGH!

So what if we all just choose to be happy?

  

Then you would have to figure out what it means for you to be happy. 

Is there an easy way to do that?

How do you start?

What are the steps?

The answer is in feelings. 

How do you want to feel?  

There is a simplicity in figuring out what being happy means to you.  

It circles back around to how you want to feel.  

• Peaceful
• Fit
• Vibrant
• Excited
• Kind
• Content
• Artistic
• Alive
• Meaningful
• Comfortable
• Joyful
• Light

And the beat goes on.....you fill in the blank, brainstorm.

Look up words in a Dictionary or Thesaurus for ideas.

Bounce ideas off of friends, co-workers, family even enemies.

Leave a comment below if you want to know what my 5 feelings are.....

When you know how you want to feel you can figure out what action plan you need to get those feelings.  And when you are living the feelings then you are happy.  Easy, right?  No more stressing about what to be when you grow up, just living the truth of who you are!  But society demands different definitions of success for different stages of life.  So as you grow and change make your feelings fit YOUR world not society.  Only you and your soul know what you need and when or how you will get there.  

Close your eyes.

Visualize your very best life.

See the day to day doings.

Live the feelings.

Create the mental image first.

Then...what do you have to do to make that vision come true?

Maybe the action plan includes a big shuffle in your life, or you are close to where you want to be or maybe you have not even started yet.  Searching.

Don't squander your time on earth searching so hard for a purpose 

that you don't spend your time on earth living and just enjoying being alive. 

~Karen Burch, from WayPoints

Pick one feeling that jumps out at you.

Live with the feeling.

Pay attention.

Make changes.

Enjoy being alive.

That is your purpose.

Before you can do it, you have to believe that you can.

Start there.

Believe. 

“You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. 

You will never truly live if you are forever looking for the meaning of life.”
―Albert Camus
