What is my purpose? What is the reason I exist? What am I meant to do?

The ultimate question of life, why?

I don’t pretend to have all the answers nor do I agree that my view on this question will be relevant or consistent in time. I do believe this though, as I search for deeper meaning and I ask myself this question, why am I here, I am because I am.

It may be easy to brush of the reality of this question but we all attempt to at some level claim reason for our life whether that be through the things that we own, the way we behave or what we pursue. We all are searching for our why.

Positively Resilient: 5 1/2 Secrets to Beat Stress, Overcome Obstacles, and Defeat Anxiety by Doug Hensch

Resilient; a person able to withstand or recover quickly from difficult conditions.

What an interesting read and I believe very relative to all of us. Think about it. When was the last time you faced a difficult situation and despite all the happenings you were able to spring back?

Think of a sponge placed in a pool of water overcome by the heaviness of the water it soaks up and suddenly is unable to soak up any more. Like life at times, pressured and saturated by conflict we can become so weighed down that it feels almost impossible that we will dry out and get back on track. I am sure this is the reality for many souls. What if you could learn the secrets of not only being resilient to absorbing the weight of the world but also the skills and ability to squeeze it out.

Don’t Let Your Failures Stop You. Let Your Wins Drive You

It is all too easy in life to allow your failures to put a halt on living your dreams. Sometimes we are our own worse critics. Sometimes we put too much pressure on ourselves to be perfect and when we don’t get the result we set out to achieve, we give up, even though we are greater than we were before starting out.

It is our human nature to be to hard on ourselves especially in defeat. When we set goals and challenge our potential we start out with great ambition and determination. As time progresses and we delve deeper into our challenge so do the obstacles that we may face continue. (more…)

How To Create Continuous Self-Motivation In Achieving The Life You Desire

Please enjoy this thought on self-motivation.

Do you ever wonder how some people seem to, almost with ease, keep pushing forward despite what obstacles they might face? You may wonder how they do it, right? The key is to create and be self-motivated.

Anyone can motivate you do something with the right amount of force or reason. If death or injury is the result of not taking action, whether to you or someone you love, you are likely to take action. The level of motivation you have to take action will be equal to the consequence that occurs if you don’t take action. It will also depend highly on the importance the particular action has to you.

The reason why we take action is a hint as to how we can create and remain self-motivated. You must reflect on the reason why in certain situations you take action and why sometimes you lack the motivation to do so. This will provide you with some answers in relation to you personally. We are all motivated differently.

Humans are driven towards pleasure and away from pain. The higher and more immediate the pleasure that comes from taking action the greater your motivation will be. Likewise the quicker and better an action removes you from pain the more likely it is that you will act.

If you want to be highly self motivated connect with the deeper reason as to why taking action is it important to you. If you cannot connect deeply with a why your ability to take action will be inhibited.

The second point to consider is how passionate about the action are you. The higher your passion the greater your motivation. For example, some of us are more likely to wake up at the crack of dawn to go on a fishing trip yet less inclined to do so to go to a job we dislike. The more passion you can insert into your life the higher your motivation will be.

There are many things to consider when it comes to raising your level of self-motivation however these two are very important. A final point also to consider is that we must remove our goggles that are typically short sighted so we can focus on the bigger picture of life. Don’t fall in the trap of taking action only to do what brings immediate reward or to avoid punishment. Connect with the rewards that are less visible of known and allow them to drive you also.

Self-motivation is very much and individual thing. The greater the importance it has to you the more likely is is you will act and allow nothing to get in your way or slow you down. What is important to you in living the life you’ve been given?

Successful Time Management (Creating Success) by Patrick Forsyth

If you always feel like you are chasing your tail or that there is not enough time in the day than you need to make it a priority to learn the techniques on mastering time. There are so many great books, online courses and coaches that can assist you in this domain including myself.

Here is a podcast I did from some Q&A with Patrick.

We cannot manage time but we certainly have control over how we use the time we have. The thing is that we all have exactly the same amount of hours in the day. With 168 hours a week why is it that some people seem to be able to achieve a great deal more than others. Simply, they have become more effective with their time.

Welcome to my Thursday Thought!

Are you a dreamer? Do you have a vision of your future? How does it look and feel? How do you want to be in life?

If you don’t you might just find yourself constantly being pulled in different directions. One day you are heading in this direction and the next only to be heading somewhere else. This is not only a inefficient use of our energy but also very ineffective way to take you where you want to be in life.

I struggle with this but am improving as my dreams and visions become clearer. Many people I am sure struggle with this and in that struggle they loose sight of their ideal future, they become worn out, and give-up in the progression forward.

Enjoy this thought and please leave me your comments and thoughts below. Peace, passion & purpose.
