The power of purpose in shaping our lives

Posted on July 16, 2013 by Sridhar Laxman, One of Thousands of Life Coaches on Noomii.

What is purpose to you, does it matter, have you identified yours?
How different would your life be if you were to live on purpose?

‘Realize what you want. It stops you from chasing butterflies and puts you to work digging gold.’ ~ William Moulton Marsden

What is purpose to you, does it matter, have you identified yours?
How different would your life be if you were to live on purpose?
Ever paused to think about these?

Life is full of things to do, people to meet, impress, fight with
Full of promises to keep, money to make, egos to satisfy
Days turn to weeks which turn to months and before we know it
those months too turn into years.

Time flies on a skateboard made of lightning, blink and its gone
We wear blinders called ‘busy’ to escape the harsh reality
To ignore that voice in our heads, that feeling in our hearts
A knowing that we are living life on auto mode
An anesthesia called ‘routine’ makes it easy to continue down this path

Why give up the familiar for the unknown, why stretch when you can curl in?
Why question when you can live without knowing the answer?
Why risk getting hurt in the quest for excellence when average is acceptable?
Why awaken when slumber is less scary?
Why take responsibility when someone else is willing to get it done?

Sadly, while this way of living is comforting in the short term, it robs us of our greatness and makes us one more sheep to the already burgeoning herd.

It does not have to be this way

Start today, stop, pause, think, reflect

1. What makes you special, what are your talents?
2. What is your purpose in life?
3. How can you use that to serve others and have fun?
4. What do you want to be remembered for in life?

You live once, make it memorable !
