4 Steps to Finding and Following Your Purpose

Every single one of us is put on this earth with a three-part being; mind , body and soul.  The mind and body exist only in this physical plane, but the soul is our highest, truest, happiest self.  The soul comes complete with a knowledge of purpose, but throughout our lives, our egoic mind separates us from the soul, and our purpose stuck to it.  With loss of purpose, comes loss of happiness, and the point of this post is to help you find your way back.

1

 Work with the talents that you were born with.  Many natural, God-given abilities aren't just there because of your genetics.  Remember the phrase "Everyone's good at something, but no one's good at everything."  If you can't make it work, stick with what you're good at.  I'm not saying don't learn new things, but just do what you're best at.

Do what you love.  It's far better to be poor and happy than rich and miserable. Recognize that money and success are NOT the same thing.  You'll find often with people who follow the calling of their purpose that passion equals purpose.  Think about it, do you think your soul, the part of you that knows what's best, wants you to do something you hate?  Even if that thing you hate pays well, riches without fullfillment is failure.

When you realize your purpose, write down your goals.  Writing down your goals will allow you to see how easy it is to clarify on what you want.  It also motivates to to fulfill them and when you come back and find them, years later, helps you realize how successful you are.  It seems that what you put focus on, the universe will manifest into your life.  If you think depressed thoughts, depression will come looking for you.  If you think happy thoughts about success and fulfillment, happiness, success, and fulfillment will find you.

Think of ways you will fulfill those goals.  A vision will build a road, but working to manifest that vision will drive you down that road.  I posted a tweet way back in October of 2012 that read "Don't just wish for it, work for it"  Combining both is the formula for success, fulfillment, and finding your purpose.

I am currently in the process of writing a book that goes into further details on how to find your purpose and how to work towards it called "The Path of Purpose; Living the Life You Were Born to Live" which will be released on Kindle within the next few months.

I also put a video up on YouTube yesterday where I discussed these things.
