Discover your "Why" by completing these 7 statements

Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you didn’t know what to do next? 

  • Maybe you were presented with an opportunity – but didn’t know if it was right for you.

  • Maybe you lost something valuable and didn’t know how (or if it were possible) to get it back.

  • Perhaps you feel stuck in a neverending cycle of frustration or defeat.

The feelings of confusion or frustration generated by these situations can be paralyzing – and they can get you stuck.  

And stuck stinks. 

However, getting stuck is not the end of the story.

What do you want?

What do you want?

What do you really want?

When you’re unclear on what you want, you lose focus — chasing diversions from your true purpose and potential. And, when ego steps into that picture, it’s a disaster.

Holiday asserts, “All of us waste precious life doing things we don’t like, to prove ourselves to people we don’t respect, and to get things we don’t want.”

How passionate are you about what you do for a living? Are you struggling with your current role or position within your organization?

If you’ve ever struggled with figuring out your personal vision, listen to this story

If you’ve ever struggled with figuring out your personal vision, listen to this story

For most people I work with, the process of figuring out a vision for their future can be challenging. My guess is, you may have struggled with this as well.


And while it may be challenging (anything worthwhile is...ANYTHING), taking the time to get clear on a vision for any area of your life that is really important to you is...really important! Why? Well, because a powerful and clear vision provides you with both the direction you need and the emotional fuel or "pull power" you need to pursue and ultimately realize it.


Without a compelling vision, well, it's like the adage says, "If you don't know where you are going, any road will take you there." I know many people who fill their lives with an astonishing amount of activity but are devoid of purpose and direction. They are kind of adrift at sea.

Why it's time to put yourself higher on your "to-do" list

Why it's time to put yourself higher on your "to-do" list

Dr. Richard Swenson famously described margin as, "the space between our loads and our limits." In margin, you find time to do what feeds your soul, take care of yourself, and breathe from the stress and demands of life.

Do you have margin in your life?

When you fail to create margin, you become overwhelmed and stressed out. And stress has some severe consequences on your health and functioning.

Legacy Quotes | Steve Jobs -- and how to tell if you're in the right career...

We're all daytraders, not just the experts who ply their trade in the stock market. Think about it. What is your life? Your life is your time. And if your life is your time, then what are you trading your time for each day? The truth is every day, you and I exchange our time for a whole host of pursuits from eating, to surfing the internet, to volunteering, to watching TV, to hobbies, to exercise, and yes, to our jobs.

And how do you determine whether or not you are getting a good return on investment for those activities? I measure my return rate based on the level of fulfillment, purpose, and joy I receive. I know I'm getting a good return on investment if by doing these activities, that I am more...ALIVE to life itself.

Living for a Purpose Beyond Yourself

Living for a Purpose Beyond Yourself

According to the most updated version of “Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs,” one of your fundamental needs is for transcendence. Did you know this?

You have the inherent need to live for a purpose beyond yourself.

Not only is it A NEED, but it is also your HIGHEST NEED!

What will you do with your one and only life?

What will you do with your one and only life?

If I asked you to define your purpose, could you do it?

Let me say this clearly: Your life (and my life) has deep meaning and significance. You have a purpose.

However, many people lack the clarity they need to move toward their purpose, causing missteps, misdirection, confusion, frustration, and a lack of feeling fulfilled in life.

Have you ever felt a lack of fulfillment?

Do you know your "why" well enough to give an elevator pitch for it?

Let me start by saying that I love the concept of an "elevator pitch."

Wikipedia defines "elevator pitch" as "a short description of an idea, product or company that explains the concept in a way such that any listener can understand it in a short period of time."
