Do you have the big picture in your life?
Is your life’s work moving you towards some meaningful contribution? Or do you move from day to day having mini-goals (or no goals) that end up reducing your overall energy and motivation?
Are you living someone else’s dream?
If you take the time to discover what drives you, you will find that life takes on a different flavour.
Once identified, you can move each day, closer and closer to achieving
your life’s purpose.
Fifteen to twenty minutes invested on making things happen, getting closer to your BIG dream, shows big rewards after even a few months.
After a few years you will be amazed at the progress that you
will have made. Compare this focus to undirected activities working on
“floating goals” and you will be happy you chose to follow your dream and
create action – every single day – towards your powerful purpose.
Your powerful dream will keep you motivated when things don’t go your way.
To get you a little closer to understanding your own values and how they
contribute to finding your big powerful dream, do the following exercise:
Interview Yourself At Your Peak!
Fast-forward to the peak of your life - you are feeling accomplished. You
have arrived where you want to be! A journalist for Time magazine (or a
business success magzine or Woman’s Weekly, or whatever you like) is
interviewing you in 30 minutes time.
Picture yourself at the very peak of your life. Imagine, if you have achieved
who you want to be – what you will look like, who you are, what is important
to you?
Picture what you are doing from when you wake up in the morning to when you go to bed. Think yourself through a whole week of your life at your peak - every detail - how you feel, what your walk-in cupboard looks like, who your friends are, the expressions on everyone’s faces.
Remember that you can be who you really want to be – not constrained by anything that constrains you now. Be very imaginative and live to the height of your fantasy. What are your achievements (remember you can dream these up) –
Don’t worry about being realistic. What are people around you saying? How
do they describe you and your contribution to society?
Now write this down.
After you have written this down look for clues as to what you should be
focussing on now to be where you want to be in your wildest fantasies.
Start today to create daily action in getting closer to your "fantasy you"!
Based on this you could write your own personal mission statement, just like the Fortune 500 companies do This way you would be able to evaluate your behaviour according to your own standards and not other people’s (your boss, colleagues etc).
If you live according to your defined purpose, you will feel that you are
building on something every single day – motivating yourself to achieve daily tasks and activities necessary for achieving your bigger goals.
