Just Know Your Own Life Path And Get On With Creating It
I can not speak strongly enough about the personal development process of knowing your life path; knowing what you want and how you will get it. Well knowing anything really since that is one of the absolute basics. Just know for yourself, be well learned, well read and open to new and exciting information and then make up your own mind about what you believe in and which to make a part of your life. The process of life is all about this; deciding on your beliefs and not just taking on beliefs because they are available.
To give you an example, for years I have held on to the belief that my life is somewhat mapped out, a course over which I have some but not all control and that there is an inevitability to life. Over the later years of my life I have read enough, watched enough and heard enough to form the new belief that I am the master of my destiny. I now decide what I will and will not do and how I will create my life to my personal desires and within my own integrity. Well, that is what the life path is all about – deciding how you will live your life, what fits with what you want and knowing the action you will take to get what you desire. Action is everything – see my blog of simple tips for more on taking action.
Sounds easy when I say it like that and I know from personal experience that getting in touch with your own beliefs, personal integrity and passions can take some time and can need some help. You can get started on your own goal setting using my following tips:-
- Reflect on your childhood dreams (hopefully they are not that long ago that you can not remember), recall what you always thought as a child that you would be, do, have.
- Reflect over all of your previous work, jobs, businesses. Which did you enjoy the most and what was it that you enjoyed?
- Ask your family and friends what they see as your special talents and write your own list of things that you like about yourself and what you do.
- Read the business opportunities and jobs section of your newspaper – watch yourself carefully to see if there is any positive emotion attached to anything that you read. That might give you a hint about what you would like to try.
- Talk with lots of people about what they are doing and see if anything appeals to you.
- Think about all areas of your life; employment, family, living, travel, loving, money, happiness, prosperity and ask yourself what you would like to have in each of those areas.
- Explore yourself as a person. Are you the kind of person you can like, be friends with, trust. Is there some area that you would like to improve.
Use these ideas to guide you to a place where you start to just know yourself and your desires a little better and then start a list of what life success you want to achieve in this lifetime. And be prepared to change those goals because the more that you think about it the more you will get clear. The more you have what you desire on your mind, the more opportunities you will see as they present themselves. The more things that you try out, the clearer that you will be about what you do want and what you do not.
It is really helpful to be clear on what you do not want because the opposite to that is likely to be what you want. Start to focus on what you do want now that you have an idea. And wait to see the passion. Oh, and visit my Hot Tips For Success page to see the advice of other smart, sassy Australian women. And if you like, talk to me about how you are going.
