5
WAYS TO EMBRACE
YOUR LIFE
PURPOSE
BY JAN BOWEN
Take action now. Do you spend time thinking about how much effort you put into your day or life, and stressing about the potential impact your effort did or didn’t have? Do the topics of life purpose and passion simultaneously inspire and terrify you? Stop stressing! The irony of life purpose is that everyone is living a life of purpose. By the nature of putting an effort into taking action to step out of bed in the morning, you’ve already made a difference. The distinction of the grand words “living your purpose” and just living life is about the deliberation and intention of your actions.
This is where you ask yourself — are the actions you’re taking leading you toward the life you want to live? You create your life automatically through your behaviors. When you operate on autopilot, you subconsciously and unconsciously design your life. The key to empowering yourself and feeling like you’re making a difference comes when you can clearly communicate what you stand for and what you live for — and then put some muscle into taking the necessary actions to manifest that. Pay attention to your current actions and look for clues that they are intentional and on target. If not, it’s time to focus on clearly articulating your goals. Once you do, the newfound command you’ll have over your days will empower and lead to more confidence and energy!
