What is your why? Why are you here?
Are you doing what you love to do? if not, why?
If you are not doing what you love to do, don't worry.
You can turn things around. But to do that,
you must believe in yourself. You must know what you want.
Your why.
If you can find your why, you can find a way to make it happen.
To make your purpose a reality, do the following things:
'Pay attention to the ideas that draw your interest, especially the ones you can't
stop thinking about.''- Chris Guillebeau
Remember, according to Chris, 'If you find yourself feeling discontented,
pay attention to the reasons why.'''Add action to discontent: Find a way to do something about the uncertainty you feel.''Ask yourself some tough questions. Questions are revealing. They have the power to bring out
what you do not know about yourself. According to Chris, 'Asking yourself a series of questions
('What do I want?'') 'How are am I feeling? and so forth) can help you find your next steps.''
And also don't forget to pay attention to what you are doing. Or what you do. How does it make you feel? If it makes you miserable, then it is not a bad idea to consider something else. Do not be afraid to try new things.
Chris writes, 'Be attentive to what happens when you lose yourself in the moment.''
Again, do not forget that your poupose is yours only. If you want it to happen, you must believe in yourself. Chris says, 'You have to believe in your quest even if others don't.'' When you believe in your dreams, that is good enough.
Plan for your purpose, but do not plan forever. According to Chris, 'Planning is good ... but if you spend all your time planning without making progress, try doing something instead.'
And finally, even if you have the option of quitting, do not do it. Why is that? Because if you quit, you will never achieve your dreams. And Chris was right when he said, 'When you have the option between backtracking and making progress, choose progress.' Choose progress, no matter what. And you can do it.
''Never go back to what hasn't worked.' If you go back to what hasn't worked, you are not getting yourself closer to your dreams. Instead, you are going backward.
''Never go back to doing something that requires you to be somebody else.' It is easier to be yourself than it is to be somebody else. The best person you can be is YOU. So do not even try to be who you are not. It won't work.
''Never go back to thinking you can change someone.'No, you can't. Do not waste your time. The only person you can change is you. What makes you think you can change someone else?
''Never go back to trying to please other people.' Do you think you have what it takes to please other people? No, you don't. Why is that? Because human beings are difficult. Our wants and needs are different. Instead of trying to please other people, why not please yourself?
''Never go back to avoiding short-term pain when it leads to long-term benefits.'' Do whatever you can to make your life better than it was yesterday. Do not avoid anything. Because it better to suffer now than to suffer later.
'''Never go back to being taken in by someone or something that looks perfect.'' Before you accept anything from anyone, ask yourself, 'Is this good for me?' If you do not feel good about it, then don't do it. Why? Because we live in an imperfect world. No one is perfect. So learn how to live with yourself.
''Never go back to losing the big picture.'' Do not forget where you are going. And do not let whatever is happening in your life right now take your attention away from your dreams.
''Never go back to taking the easy path and failing to do due dilligence.'' If you want to be successful, there is no easy way to get there. You have got to take the hard road, the road that no one wants to take. If you take it, and you stick to it, success will come to you.
''Never go back to ignoring the part you play in being where you are.'' We all make mistakes. We all have done something that we are not proud of. Forgive yourself. And move on. You still have a chance to rewrite your story.
''Never go back to forgetting that life is lived inside out.'' Success comes from your inner life. Happiness comes from your inner life. If you want to be successful, if you want to be happier, NEVER forget to nurture your inner life.
