In today’s day and age, we come across so many people who feel lost. They are not happy with their career nor happy in their relationships. In short, they are not happy in general. The main reason for this is that they do not have clarity of their purpose. Majority of the people have a herd mentality. They never reach their fullest potential because of this herd mentality. Living paycheck to paycheck just because everyone else is doing the same.

The main reason for this herd mentality is the lack of definiteness of purpose. Most of the people live a life of quiet desperation and just because everyone else is also living a similar life, they feel it is normal. We human beings are gifted individuals who are supposed to strive for achieving greatness in our life but instead we, in general, are burnt out and stressed. Just because of our herd mentality or people-pleasing attitude.

Here are a few steps on how to have definiteness of purpose so that you can carve out your path and inspire others to do the same.

1)     Identify your vision and passion. Identify how you would like to live your life. Identify what makes you tick.

2)     Write down 5 things you would do differently if you were not limited by time and money.

3)     Write down what you will need in terms of money and time to achieve those 5 things.

4)     This is the beginning of your purpose. It will evolve over a period of time. Your dreams and goals will always evolve. Have a clear definite purpose, read it again and again, Create a dream board and goal cards. Keep them in front of you and read out your goals until it becomes your burning desire.

5)     Have definite goals in all areas of your life like finances, health ( physical as well as emotional), relationships, charity, and spirituality.

6)     Write a clear precise plan on how you would achieve your goals.

7)     Be open to receiving mentorship from someone who has fruit on their tree.

8)     Learn to quiet your mind by meditation so that you can get intuitive guidance and ideas.

9)     Write down your strengths and weaknesses. Capitalize on your strengths while you strive to improve on your weaknesses. Don’t strive for perfection because no one is perfect. Instead, strive for excellence.

10)  You can’t gain anything without giving something in return so decide what you want and what are you willing to give up to get it. ( Eg. If you want to build a business on a spare-time basis, you will need to give up Netflix time or Party time to build your business)

11)  Discipline yourself and form consistent and persistent work habits.

12)  Learn to bounce back quickly from rejections and failures.

13)  Stay away from negativity and from people who put you down. Stay away from gossips. If people are gossiping about someone behind their back, they will gossip about you behind your back. Don't take part in this drama. Refrain from criticism, complains and condemn.

14)  Learn to say no to anything which is taking you away from your goals.

SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE have achieved high levels of success because of their focus, work habits, and discipline. Their mind is constantly obsessed with thoughts of success. Their mind has no time or space to think thoughts of failure.

It is a well-known fact that you are the product of your thoughts. Change your circumstances by changing your thoughts and attitude.

You, my friend, are meant for greatness and you too can inspire others to achieve the same. Write your own story.
