We\u2019re having a passionate discussion about discovering passion and purpose. Excited and animated, she talks about what she’s always wanted to do and who she’s always wanted to be. The thoughts and ideas are free flowing. The wheels are turning. The fire is lit.<\/p>\n
Talk turns to steps for getting into action.<\/p>\n
THEN the word comes up.<\/p>\n
How will I know it\u2019s the right time? How will I know it\u2019s the right place?<\/em><\/p>\n So many of us get stuck here and never take another excited, passionate step forward. Looking for that elusive \u2018rightness\u2019. That guarantee that everything is going to turn out perfectly before starting.<\/p>\n Here’s the thing, you will never know if its ‘right’ before<\/em> you get into action.<\/p>\n Give up the idea that you have to know the right time and place. Give up the idea that clarity is something that happens at the beginning of the journey. Give up the idea that you have to have a perfect plan.<\/p>\n Instead just start and the \u2018right\u2019 path will reveal itself.<\/p>\n Think back to other times in your life. Did you start in the \u2018right\u2019 place or did you simply start and then made course corrections as you went along? Of course, you did. Sometimes we forget the journey, focusing only on outcomes. That\u2019s a shame because the journey is where the gold is.<\/p>\n If you struggle with finding passion and purpose, wondering if it\u2019s the right<\/em> one. Think of your passion and purpose as your contribution to solving problems in the world.<\/p>\n A funny thing happens, when you take the focus off of yourself and instead focus on solving problems of the world… you tend to not only survive… but thrive.<\/p>\n And… even better than that… when you focus on solving problems that you love to solve… that’s how your purpose and your passion reveals itself.<\/p>\n Here’s something that not everyone will tell you: we are all just guessing.<\/p>\n Everything we do is an educated experiment.<\/p>\n If we viewed life as an experiment in solving problems that we love to solve instead of some pressure cooker of perfection and clarity and needing answers before we start…. we would be so much happier, peaceful and fulfilled.<\/p>\n Trade perfection for experimentation. This makes everything so much more fun. Trust me I was a world class perfectionist always wanting to do things perfectly and \u2026 (you guessed it) \u2026 right.<\/p>\n Trade finding your purpose and passion for solving problems. Enlarging the focus gives you so many more options. Your heart is open and suddenly the world is to.<\/p>\nLet it Go<\/h2>\n
