Defining Your Purpose In Life To Then Help Others
How do you actually find your purpose in life? Do you know your purpose? Follow these three simple steps to defining your purpose in life.
Hi Trish Davies, here from BuildYourAU.com and TrishDaviesInternational.com. Today I wan to focus on your purpose to life and that of helping other people. Build Your AU is designed to help you create a personal brand and an online training package.
That training package will be created on your life’s foundations. What you are good at, the obstacles you have overcome and your “why” in life. That “why” is your purpose which can run to many levels deep in your mind and heart.
Build Your AU has a unique process in defining your purpose in life which can then be correlated into an online business. What you must remember is that your working life lasts for decades so isn’t it better working at something that is aligned with your purpose?
Life is too short to be spending the majority of your doing something that doesn’t bring you joy and fulfilment. You may have visions of your dream job or career, something that resonated with you from an early age. Unfortunately, there are many people who are struggling to figure out their purpose and then take that purpose into their preferred profession.
You may have heard the expression “turn passion into profit”. That is bandied about a lot and sounds somewhat gimmicky but if you transpose “passion” for “purpose” it holds more credence.
So, what is the process to defining your purpose in life? Well, I cover that within my Build Your AU training programs but here are three questions you can ask yourself to get the ball rolling!
Questions To Ask When Defining Your Purpose In Life
If you are struggling to find you true career path then the following questions will give you clarity on your purpose. You will have interests and you will have had lots of experiences in life.
What I want to do is bring those interests and experiences together so to speak. To form a connection which will bring your purpose to the fore and then show you how that purpose can impact people’s lives. Ask yourself the following.
What Are My Strengths?
I want you to talk some time for self-analysis. To analyse just what your strengths are, what are your unique positive attributes, what makes you fulfilled and rewarded?
Over the course of your life until now you will have been acknowledged by other people. What compliments have you received at work, when you were a child, throughout your academic career?
Have there been circumstances where you have stood up, been counted, and taken on a leadership role. What have been the times when people have approached you for advice that is based upon your expertise?
Once you have considered all that I have mentioned take a few minutes to read my previous post. It will help you identify your natural talents and gifts to give you a total picture on what you are good, and excel, at.
What Interests Do I Want To Pursue?
You will have developed interests throughout your life, but some may have gone by the wayside. Now that can happen for many reasons such as change of lifestyle, family commitments, career commitments and financial.
Again, take some time to think about interests you have neglected over the years. What activities have brought you joy, a smile to your face, made you experience utter fulfilment?
Also consider skills that you have always wanted to learn. There would have been times when you thought “one day I will try that”, what are they and how can you now pursue them.
To help you pursue these look online for resources such as courses, webinars, and live workshops. Seek out professional people such as coaches and mentors to give you clear assistance and direction. Time management is key though as I am sure you lead a very busy life, but you must dedicate time to pursue what is important to you.
How Can I Make An Impact On People?
Once you get to this stage you will have a clearer indication on what your purpose in life is. Now you must think how your purpose can make an impact on people’s lives. Maybe that will be to join organisations that are aligned with your purpose at a local, national, or international level.
Alternatively, you could look at merging your purpose with your talents and skills to then teach. There is an expression of learn, do, and teach. Most of the learning and doing has been doe throughout your life, therefore your purpose now could be to teach.
The Build Your AU process helps you teach people through creating training packages that are aligned with your purpose. Over the last 18 months I have helped many people find their purpose and then create online training businesses.
My own purpose was the reason I created Build Your AU in the first place. This is my “WHY” –
“To loyally inspire others to confidently recognise their gifts and talents.
So that they are determined to move forward and create a life that matters.”
Let my purpose help you with defining your purpose in life and then make an impact on other people. I will be shortly opening up my Build Your AU 9-week program that shows you the steps to find your authenticity, authority and then attract your audience for you to make an impact on.
