Finding your true purpose in 20mins....
We believe that we were all sent here for a reason and that we all have significance in the world. We genuinely feel that we are all blessed with unique gifts. The expression of our gifts contributes to a cause greater than ourselves...
I’m not talking about your job, your daily responsibilities, or even your long-term goals. I mean the real reason why you’re here at all — the very reason you exist. You have been guided by your inner spirit to this page, whether you choose to believe it or not!
Perhaps you’re someone who doesn’t believe you have a PURPOSE and that life has no meaning. Not believing that you have a purpose won’t prevent you from discovering it, just as a lack of belief in gravity won’t prevent you from falling. All that a lack of belief will do is make it take longer, so if you’re one of those people, just change the number 20 in the title to 40 (or 60 if you’re really stubborn). Most likely though if you don’t believe you have a purpose, then you probably won’t believe what I’m saying anyway, but even so, what’s the risk of investing an hour just in case it might change your LIFE for the better?
Here’s a short story about Bruce Lee which sets the stage for this little exercise. A master martial artist asked Bruce to teach him everything Bruce knew about martial arts. Bruce held up two cups, both filled with water. “The first cup,” said Bruce, “represents all of your knowledge about martial arts. The second cup represents all of my knowledge about martial arts. If you want to fill your cup with my knowledge, you must first empty your cup of your knowledge.”
If you want to discover your true purpose in life, you must first empty your mind of all the false purposes you’ve been taught over the years (including the idea that you may have no purpose at all).
STOP WATCH THIS! If you are in two minds what to do. We would like you to listen to the words in the whole of this video, ignore the title of the video, but it helps if you ever decide to go to a hot climate!
