3 Ways to Discover Your Purpose and Live With Passion
3 Ways to Discover Your Purpose and Live With Passion
Hey guys! Welcome, it’s Lisa Jimenez! Today we’re going to be talking about passion and making sure that you’re following your purpose.
So, how do you discover your purpose? What are you passionate about that could be aligned with your calling on this planet?
My personal belief is that I think that we have a lot of different purposes, but for this specific edition let’s talk about just discovering specifically your purpose right now.
There’s 3 ways to do it.
First and foremost, I want you to look at what you did when you were a kid. Yeah, your childhood play. Hmm, evaluate your childhood play. What would you do when your mom or dad would call you in for dinner and you’d be like, “Ah, man, I have to eat?!” Because you’re having so much fun and consumed in this… what?
What was your childhood play? That’s very relative to what your purpose is in life.
The second thing to look at is, who do you value? Who do you respect? Because when you look at who you respect and why, you can see what your core values are.
So maybe you really respect an entrepreneur or a spiritual guru or you really respect a comedian and the ability to make people laugh. Maybe it’s beauty. You respect beauty. Somebody who really hones in on their ability to be beautiful. Be healthy, maybe physically fit. So who do you respect on this planet? Just come up with three names right now. And those three names, whether they’re living or not living anymore, they are very reflective to your core purpose.
Who you respect is in alignment to what you value.
So that’s the second thing.
Childhood play, who you respect, and then what brings you joy right now?
If you could just do this specific thing for free—like for me it’s having this kind of intimate amazing conversations with people. And just like when I’m on an airplane I’ll sit next to somebody and I’ll just ask the question, “So, what do you want?”
And they’re like, “you mean like for lunch on the plane?”
“No, what do you want? What do you want out of life?”
And I get into these amazing juicy conversations with strangers and they tell me. And when they just share what they want and I don’t give them a direction of – I don’t tell them in what respect whether it’s the respect of a personal life or their business – just in general what do you want in life?
You would be amazed at how clear people are and what they really want when they have the space to share. So that’s the third step for you.
Give yourself permission to have the space to really think about what brings me joy.
If I could do anything for the rest of my life everyday what would it be? What lights me up?
So, there’s your edition today on how to find your purpose and live passionately.
Three things: Look at your childhood play – very reflective to what your purpose is. The second thing is, who do you respect? Notice the values that that person has or what you’re respecting about them, very relevant to what your core values or what your core purpose is. And then the third thing is what brings you joy? What make you happy? And do you give yourself permission to be happy and experience that joy?
What a beautiful world this would be, you guys, just imagine if every human-being on this planet was following their purpose and living everyday with that kind of passion to share that purpose and that passion just because that’s what brings them joy. Not even to get something or to create a business, but just because that’s what lights them up.
So discover what that is for you and you are living the prescription for success.
Have a great day and we’ll talk again soon!
