How Do You Find Your Purpose by Coach Jamie

Why and What is Your Purpose

Have you ever thought your life was a day to day grind? Every Monday you start counting the days until Friday. Perhaps you are not living your life on Purpose. Research shows that only 1 in 4 people have a clear sense of purpose and what makes their lives have meaning. It is almost impossible to lead a rewarding life unless you have some sense of why you are on this earth. I believe in every human there is a passion inside of you.

Which comes first the What or the Why

I believe the why comes before the what. If you would like to start a new business, but the only reason you want to start the business is to make a lot of money; that one why won’t carry you through the tough times. Your bank account will get low, and you will quit, and the business will be something you tried but it didn’t work. Take that same scenario of starting a new business, and you have 25 or a 100 reasons why you want to start the business, when things get tough you will keep going. For instance, one of the reasons you want to start a business is to have more freedom to spend time with your family. You could hire people who have the skills the business needs, but can’t find a job because of their past. The business solves a problem that people need to have peace of mind. The more reasons why you want to do something, the better chance you have of succeeding. If you notice the reasons all involved helping other people, not just yourself

How do I find my What

I believe every person has a desire inside of them to do something that is greater than themselves, and creates value in other people’s lives. It is the reason God put you here. You have to take   time, and ask yourself some questions. For example: what makes me feel alive, what are you really good at doing, if money was not an issue, what would you do. If you take the time to answer these kinds of questions, you will be on your way to finding your purpose.
