Do you find that some days you wish you lived a different life? Perhaps you find yourself wishing that you were Richard Branson, Donald Trump or Brad Pitt.
It isn’t unusual to wish you lived a different life or were someone else. If you find that you have days where you feel unsatisfied or discontented, then it may be time to think about what you can do turn your life around.
What’s different about your life and that of those you admire and who inspire you? At first glance it may be that you think it’s money or fame. Often you will look at possessions.
Instead look deeper and list those qualities that you admire. It may be that you are inspired by their skills, knowledge, generosity or temperament.
What do they have that you don’t? They have passion and a purpose. They have something that they care about and are filled with a desire to make a difference; not just for themselves but for others.
Your life can be fulfilling. Living a life with passion and purpose is possible for everyone. You do not need to be rich, famous or highly educated.
To find your passion and purpose you need to discover what you really want. Don’t just consider material objects, look deeper at lifestyle, relationships, your health and emotions.
For a positive difference to take place you don’t need to give up your job and follow your calling 100% of the time. You can start small and paint your masterpiece or write your novel in your spare time.
This will allow you to begin to feel the benefits of doing what you love and feeling the positive effects and changes while still working and earning an income.
Not everyone wants to change the world. It may be that you want to make a difference by volunteering at the local homeless shelter. Your desire to bring about positive change in the lives of others, less well off than yourself, will bring about an enormous change in your life.
You will experience the joy of giving and in return feel a sense of satisfaction. In addition, you’ll probably pick up new skills, make new friends and connections and discover other changes you want to make in your own life.
Everyone deserves to live their best life. All you need to do is find what you really want to do that can make you feel excited, joyful, engaged and fulfilled. That way you can begin to live your best life instead of settling for a humdrum existence.
Four Secrets To Achieving Success
Everyone wants to be successful. Focus generally tends to be towards career success.
However, personal or life success, is also important. Success is about achieving goals.
After all if you haven’t got a goal then how can you be successful? So what are the four secrets that can help you be successful?
Set Goals
It is vital that you set yourself goals for your personal and professional lives. These will provide a target to aim for.
Once you’ve listed your goals then write down the steps you are going to take to achieve them. Add who or what can help you to your list.
Find an accountability partner, mentor or coach who can help and support you.
And when you are setting goals, don’t always be totally focused on the end point but try to enjoy the journey along the way. Life is about enjoyment, not just achieving something.
If you want to discover how you can embrace your passion and enjoy the journey, then check out this excellent training here.
Remember That Your Personal and Professional Lives Are Inter-dependent
You may think that your career goals are totally separate from your personal goals.
However, they are inter-dependent. Your career relies on your well-being, impacts on your family and relationships, your health and happiness.
Your happiness, relationships and health are affected by your career.
If you’re not happy at work or doing a job you love then it will have an impact on your emotional and physical well-being, as well as affecting other areas of your personal life.
To be successful in one area you need to create success in the other.
Find Your Passion And Purpose
If your personal and professional lives are inter-dependent, then to be successful in them you will need to discover your passion and purpose.
By discovering these you will create determination to succeed, enhance your creativity, spark inspiration and be able to harness the power of flow in your activities.
Ask yourself what you really want to do with your life. What do you want your legacy to be?
Don’t Focus On The Money
While many people consider amassing wealth to be a sign of success, that should not be your end goal or sole success indicator.
Instead focus on your emotions, lifestyle and well-being. What will your life look and feel like when you have successfully achieved your goals? How will your family and friends feel? Why not create a vision board with words, quotes and pictures showing your life as a success?
When thinking about your professional success consider how you will know you’ve succeeded. What will your position be? How will you be making an impact in your company and in the wider community? What will your working day look like?
Think about work/life balance and the effect on your family and relationships with friends. How will your new role or business affect your life, health and happiness?
While success can mean different things to different people, one thing all definitions have in common is that success is measured by achieving goals that make you feel positive emotions, for example, happiness and achievement.
You will find the greatest success comes when you use your passions to create your goals in life and work.
