Knowing your purpose will help you to be true to yourself, remain focused on what is real, encourages you to be
creative, resilient and most importantly to live your best life NOW. A purpose-led life is an abundant filled life.
The world you live in will never be the same and the opportunities life throws at you will be abundant, that is if, you discover the purpose of your life. Until then, you stand to live a life of mediocrity.
I want to encourage you to rise and be great, do the great things you were meant to do. Look deep inside you, realizing what your life’s purpose is and embrace it. You will find, with knowing your purpose comes a greater meaning in life. You will discover yourself to be a greater person than you ever dreamed yourself to be.
Your purpose is your calling, your underlying reason for being that adds clarity to your life. Purpose is defined as the object toward which one strives or for which something exists; an aim or a goal.
Three reasons why you should find your life purpose:
-
Your life purpose makes everything you do meaningful.
-
You could be successful outside, but if you don’t find meaning you will feel empty inside.
-
It gives meaning to everything you do.
-
Gives you clear direction of where to go in life.
-
It helps you make big decisions in life.
-
It directs and guides you.
-
In life there are always difficult times to go through.
-
You may experience failures or rejections.
-
It motivates you.
In such situations, your life’s purpose can give you the motivation you need to keep going, by helping you to see beyond the horizon. What you face in front of you, may seem difficult but your life’s purpose helps you see beyond it.
Explore yourself, discover your purpose in life and live your passion.

Robert Fulghum says it best, “Live a balanced life – learn some and think some and draw and paint and sing and dance and play and work every day SOME.
When we take the time to break from one aspect of living to equally engage in others (Physical, Emotional, Career, Spiritual, Intellectual, Social), we then begin to tap into balanced living. Although living in balance is not always easy to achieve much less maintain, it can be very rewarding.
A balanced life is living a life of harmony where all things in life work together to complete the whole you. When your life is in balance, you will be more healthy, more energetic, happier, motivated, and satisfied.
Physical
A perfect example and probably one of the most popular in which we lack motivation, is that of the physical aspect of balanced living. Statistics shows that regular exercise or physical activity helps the body to function better. However, only 30 percent of Americans get leisure-time physical activity.
Spirituality
One Hundred and sixty people were surveyed from different faiths (Protestants, Catholics, Jews, Muslims and Buddhists). The results show that religious experiences such as prayer, meditation, yoga, etc. was significantly linked to better mental health and helped people to better cope with everyday stress.
Intellectual
When it comes to intellect, it is sad to say that for some of us, once we graduate from high school or college our pursuit of/for new knowledge deteriorates. Yes, we may be masters at what we do, but we are not learning anything new. Research clearly shows that education and learning produce favorable changes in the brain.
Social
Socializing, considered a form of mental exercise, provides stimulation for the brain, keeps one sharp, have been associated with lower blood pressure and contributes to longer life expectancies.
Career
When achieving work life balance neglecting your mental well-being, relationships, and health can affect your productivity. Instead plan ahead, give yourself ample time to complete projects, set a work start and cut off time and define clear expectations with others.
Emotional
Improving your emotional health can too, be a rewarding experience. People who are emotionally healthy tend to be in control of their emotions and their behavior. Able to handle life’s challenges, build strong relationships, and recover from setbacks.
Tap into the Whole YOU!
A few tips; Remember to Set Priorities. List all your tasks if not daily then on a weekly basis, organize them according to priorities. When prioritizing, be sure to consider each area (Physical, Emotional, Career, Spiritual, Intellectual, and Social) pertinent to living a balanced life. Be Flexible. It is pertinent to take a break from routine. Be flexible and adjust your schedules and priorities accordingly. Mind Your Mind. Subconscious beliefs are known to be self-limiting and self-sabotaging. Purposefully embrace the process of positive thinking, especially in the areas of behavioral/habit change, wellness and stress reduction. Establish Accountability. Enlist the help of an accountability partner to encourage you along the way.
My hope in 2014 is that YOU Tap into the Whole YOU!
