Where are you going?


Have you ever stopped for second and the question hit you, "where am I going in life?" If it hasn't it most certainly will at some point. We are made for a purpose and one of the most frustrating puzzles we'll ever solve is discovering where we were meant to go in life.

Making that discovery has become the great mystery of life for many people. Opportunities abound. Career fields are being created daily. There are more college programs, institutes, universities, certification, and... well you get the idea. You get it because you are living it. So where does one start... or should I say... "restart discovering my destination?"

It's Easy, It's Fun, It's Important

How one will discover their purpose will vary from person to person. Yet, it's never going to happen if you don't spend time thinking about it. Worrying about it doesn't count! Design a few peaceful moments throughout the week and guard that time. Allow no exceptions.

What is effective is quieting your mind on a regular basis and sitting down with the question. "Where am I going?"

Brainstorm. Write down your thoughts. Throw those ideas up on a dry erase board and box them up and move them around to piece that puzzle together. Talk to a trusted friend. Preferably the most creative people you know. Start the conversation today and let it unfold.

In addition to those steps, when you are serious about discovering your destination, hire a Life Coach. Coaches have designed our lives and expertise for this purpose... and we're good at it! Think of a Coach as putting a turbo on discovering your destination, overcoming the inevitable obstacles and helping you clarify the path you are seeking.

Vocabulary | A Reflection of Who We Are

Image
What do I say and how should I say it? Vocabulary is a reflection of who we are, but not necessarily who we want to be. It informs our vision of life and oppresses it or sets it free. Addressing our vocabulary isn't necessarily a moral work. It's a creative work! With a quick Google search you can find articles telling us, that it's the really smart people who use curse words in their daily conversation but I don't think that's true. It's more likely a lack of creativity. The smartest person in the room is not the guy/gal spewing profanities. It's the person with a "higher" word stock that breathes creativity and inspiring thoughts that builds themselves and others up. Bad verbiage is rarely inspirational. It may be functional, but don't we have a vision of our life that is more than functional? You bet, we do!

Laugh A Little

What is your humor quotient? I'm sure you have heard it said that laughter is the best medicine. If that is true then, maybe we can self prescribe a few big laughs. Bad thinking, that can lead to depression, confusion, self pity, frustration, etc. is all antithetical to moving forward. Humor is the skill. Laughter is the healing. There are dozens of phrases that express the vitality of laughter. Here are a few for fun: There is little success where there is little laughter. - Andrew Carnegie 1   Laughter and joy are part of the beauty of life.  - Diogo Morgado 1   Comedy is defiance. It's a snort of contempt in the face of fear and anxiety. And it's the laughter that allows hope to creep back on the inhale.   - Will Durst 1   As soap is to the body, so laughter is to the soul.   - A Jewish Proverb 2   Against the assault of laughter, nothing can stand.   - Mark Twain 2   He that is of a merry heart has a continual feast.   - Prover

A Quick Diagnostic | What Have I Overlooked?

Image
Sometimes we get super busy and put far more things on the back burner than we wish we had. Some of those things can get forgotten in the rush. The disquieting part is, some of those things impact our ability to hold up our values. What have I been putting on the back burner? Is there something there that should have never been diminished? How does that thing reflect on who I am and the values I want to hold up? Values/Behaviors/Habits If we can find that thing that has been crowded out of our life and work it back into our daily walk, we may find our fulfillment is enhanced. It's a good, quick maintenance check-in to keep the main things, the main things! What does this value/behavior/habit look like now? What makes this so important? How can I make this a natural part of my day? What are the obstacles for doing it well? How do I minimize distraction and maximize integration of this value/behavior/habit?
