It’s about believing in your potential, recognizing your uniqueness – your talents, your history, your resources, and the desire that is in your heart that speaks to you and sets you on fire.  For some lucky people, they identify their purpose at a young age, while others take a lifetime to realize their purpose.

Without knowing your purpose, you end up being a jack-of-all-trades, master of none instead of a jack-of-FEW-trades, who focuses on one.

Nobody ever reached their potential by scattering themselves in 20 different directions. Hear that ADDers? Multiple Hat Wearers?

Reaching your potential requires FOCUS. That’s why it’s important to know your purpose. Then you decide what you are willing to do to live it and what you are willing to give up.

IF you want to do great things, you better prepare to sacrifice much.  Success is not a destination, but a journey of continued growth and improvement.

Here’s where this post’s inspiration came from – Road Map For Success.

But being me, I thought, the question, “What is my purpose in life?”  or any of it’s variations are not a very clear or concise way of phrasing the TRUE question our souls are asking. . . Words have power. . . intention. . . focus. . . and all that. . .

I had recently learned from a friend who had a life changing moment when he was talking to Bob Proctor when Bob asked him the question, “what if you could make your yearly income your monthly income?”

The point of that question was it challenged and shook up his entire way of thinking about how life works and how life ‘is’.

You want change or answers?  You need to ask the right questions.

So I spontaneously came up with what I thought was a better  more specific way of asking the universe (or whoever) that question… The wording goes something like this:

How can I best use the talents and gifts I have and want to further develop  so I can be the greatest good to all and have the most personal enjoyment and satisfaction from doing so?

Now the next step is to listen and pay attention to the answer the universe sends you back and you’ll be ready to move forward.
