Finding Your Sweet Spot or Discovery of Purpose Part 1

Daily Success Motivation and The Purpose Driven Life

Do you know what your sweet spot is? Have you even searched for it? Finding your sweet spot is about finding your center, your joy and releasing your passions. In todays increasing economy of free agency, independent consultancy and information explosion it is critical that you find what you really love to do and what you are really good at.

You have more options than ever before to chart your own course, customize your life and create the lifestyle balance that you really want and succeed and prosper as the same time. You don't have to be tied to an office or desk if you don't want to. You don't have to get a traditional education if you don't want to. You don't have to follow the status quo if you don't want to (and you shouldn't do that anyway!).

You will accelerate your success when you discover what your best at

The information age and information economy along with technology and the Internet are providing whole new opportunities to make our dreams come true and create success. You can reach out the more people, creative more opportunities for self-directed success and wealth and live life on your own terms. So what do you really want to do? What are your really good at? Can you create a new life of happiness and success with your sweet spot?

Finding Your Sweet Spot
Here are a few questions that may help you uncover you sweet spot.

1. What do you feel you are good at right now?
2. What do others say about your abilities? In other words, what do others praise you for being able to do well and that they wish they could do it like you?
3. What is your current expertise or what do you know the most about?
4. What is your passion pattern? In other words, what do you find yourself doing most frequently with the most passion or what are your frequently passionate interest?
5. What types of things are you very intuitive about or what activities demonstrate your natural talents (natural brilliance)?
6. Does your current activity make full use of your natural talents and abilities?
7. Are you happy with your current work and life? If not, why not? What will make you happy?

Life is full of purpose. You have to find yours. That's right...YOU have to do it. Part of our journey of success motivation is discovering what our purpose is. You should not be frustrated by the fact that you may not know what you want to do or what your purpose may be. While in reality, this can indeed be a frustrating aspect of life...embrace the discovery process and enjoy exploring the possibilities for what you want to and what you want to become.

If you want automatic change or instant change you are only adding unnecessary frustration. Change is neither automatic or instant. You can avoid compressed timelines that only create anxiety by realizing that time is on your side if you act now and act conistently. By taking responsibility for your own happiness you place yourself as the real agent of change. Everything else becomes a resource to assist you on your journey and you release yourself from random chance and instead you create your own opportunities and can recognize opportunities that are favorable for helping you achieve your goals.

Starting with Discovery
Starting with discovery establishes focus, productivity and accomplishment. You may not have the specific clarity of goals to achieve something specific just yet however by starting with dscovery you now have a clear action to take. That action is to discover what you want to do. Enjoy that process. That alone can be exhilarating! Introspection and self evaluation can unearth a wealth of dreams and possibilities to unlock your best life now. By giving time back to yourself to attend to what you really want you are doing the best thing for everyone else you care most about. Starting with discovery you also get a sense of direction as well. You begin to feel like you are doing something for you instead of just drifting. Excitement will begin to build in anticipation of what you will discover and of what possibilities the future holds for you. Start with discovery by asking yourself questions. Start with the few I've listed and any other questions that make sense. Ask yourself pointed and powerful questions for powerful answers that will sharpen your awareness of self and get you focused.

As you prepare for the weekend take some time to reflect and think about what you really want to do and become. Your breakthroughs will result from focus and motion. Get clear on what you want and get moving towards what you want in your breakthroughs and miracles will happen. Getting into focus requires reflection. You want to find your sweet spot, your zone, your passion and build your life around what you truly find thrilling and which is consistent with your highest values and beliefs. This creates alignment and congruent action at all levels of your being and with you are aligned within yourself and passionately clear on what you belief and what you will do...that is power that no one can resist and no distraction or life obstacle can stop.

Your Comments

This is such a great entry and totally relevent to me. Just today I was talking with a co-worker and saying that I need to redirect my life, that I wasn't meant to be a banker but to be either an interior designer, a writer or a psychologist.

He tried to convince me that I should continue to tow the corporate line because I may not enjoy the same standard of living in those other professions.

But I believe that happiness and self-fulfillment is it's own reward.

Hi Ana,

Follow your dreams no matter what! Take note of anyone who would persuade you to play it safe and not fulfull your life's dreams and purposes. When you are following your passions and dreams you will be able to create whatever supply you need and your right...happiness and self-fulfillment is it's own reward but it is enough to supply and re-supply you with the "material" substance you need.

There are many people with living safe but suffering in silence. Follow your dreams and pursuing purpose can be a bit scary and intimidating but to not live your best life now is live small and short of what your potential was given to you for.

Go for it! You can do it. Many have and many more will. Be one of them and then come back to your friend and help him understand why playing it safe is only the illusion of safety.

Nothing in life is guaranteed and certainly in this economy no company is guaranteed to take care of you.

Equip yourself for living out your own success and you will never be subject to safety, jobs or economy. Your will have the skills, knowledge and action to create and obtain your own supply.

Best of Success,

TL
