Feel Good: Discover Your Purpose
Deep within your soul you have a purpose that is eager to escape and wreak havoc through every bone in your body. It’s time for you to expand your innate talents. Starting now…develop and nurture your purpose. Now, don’t sit here and think you don’t have something to give the world. Everyone, including you has a purpose…a talent…a calling.
Let’s do a quick painless exercise. Get a pen and paper, laptop or your journal and write at the top of the page or screen, “(your name)’s Purpose.” Begin to write down the things you love to do so much you would do them for free or something you do so great everyone raves about it all the time. Perhaps it’s writing poetry…we all know where that got Jill Scott. Are you great with kids, love numbers, cook or bake well, a great organizer and planner…we all know where that got President Barack Obama. Are you computer savvy, a good listener, a people’s person…we all know where that got Oprah. Whatever comes to your mind, let the thoughts flow from your mind through your fingers and onto the paper or screen. This list of randomly thought items will become your purpose. And you said you couldn’t think of anything…gotcha!
Now it’s time to plan your work and work your plan. Each day do something that enhances your purpose. Don’t let others tell you its too hard. Keep the negativity at bay. Get rid of all the limiting feelings and believe you are limitless. Cultivate and align your purpose and let it shine. Pray on it and live it every day. Your purpose gives you meaning…explore it.

This is so true. You have to recognize your purpose and the steps you need to take to achieve your goals. Once you have done this, you are half-way there to achieving your goals!
I am a devotee of lists and mindmaps as tools to organize my thoughts and my life. I always find that there’s more chance of achieving something if I’ve written it down and voiced it. I have encountered negativity to some of my ideas, and it’s hard not to let this get you down. However, I think you sometimes have to recognize this negativity as a reflection of the person voicing it, rather than your own capabilities.
