Explore a Purpose Driven Life
If you really want to turn your life in a different direction, you need to assess what is really going on in your career, relationships and family.
The purpose driven life revolves around the powerful process of exploring what¡¯s been left unsaid, undone or incomplete in your life. To be driven, you must remove the challenges that are encumbering your success.
This process is really one of the most awesome things you can do to free yourself and give yourself access to your dreams.
Completing what is undone--whether it concerns family, friends, work, your body, mind or soul--may be the most profound thing you have ever done.
Free Your Life of Clutter
Clutter is like static - a constant noise, an irritant, and often an inducer of stress. If you are disorganized because you don't have time or because you are afraid to take control of the chaos, you are the impediment to achieving your dreams.
Removing the clutter in your life will give you greater clarity and energy for important things. In order to remove the clutter in your life, you need to really evaluate yourself both internally and externally to determine what objects and people you truly need in your life. As you complete and resolve long-standing issues regarding your body, mind, work, family and friends, feelings of pride, accomplishment, and peace of mind can motivate you to take on even the tough things.
Scrutinize Your Life Purpose
Where do I begin?
Take these steps to begin living a purpose driven life.
1. Scrutinize your life and your life purpose.
2. Explore your body, mind, home, work, finance, and people (living and dead).
3. Write down what you feel incomplete about with anyone or anything and what you need to do to complete it.
4. Complete as many items as possible.
5. Write a letter or make a phone call.
6. Forgive someone or just declare "it's over."
You might need to create a project plan. Create measurable goals and try to stick to your plan. You will find yourself feeling better and lighter every day!
Incompleteness Wastes Energy
Why does completion of a goal or a task make us feel so much better?
When you have unresolved problems that you aren't fixing or are trying to avoid, you are still spending energy on them. They are nagging you in the back of your head, and they will not go away.
Nothing is left incomplete or unresolved in a purpose driven life. You know something is incomplete by how you feel about it and you know how much better you feel when that something is resolved.
Ask yourself the following about the issues that are outstanding in your life:
*Do you waste energy worrying about it?
*How is it impacting other areas of your life--your happiness?
If you really want to make a difference in your life and achieve your dreams, then clean out the cobwebs and take control of your life. Resolve the little issues that are stressing you out and put that wasted energy towards your success.
Integrity Is Most Important
One of the most critical attribute necessary for realizing our dreams is integrity. By living a life of integrity, you can be proud of whom you are and of your accomplishments because you will know that you are doing the right thing.
In a conversation about achieving your dreams, integrity is essential and can be summarized this way: Say what you mean and mean what you say. Why is this so critical? How can you truly focus your energy if you are being held down by guilt or self doubt?
Live a purpose driven life by honoring your agreements and living by your word. You will be living with integrity, where dreams really do come true.
