A few of the TED talks I've been listening to to talk about finding your purpose. One of them in fact, is by a Hollywood film director who went to Yale. Yale! Who says filmmakers are not smart? Anyone, he's figured out how to find your life's purpose and express it in 5 minutes. So I listened to him. The nuts and bolts of it are, ask yourself:
- Who are you?
- What do you do? or What do you LOVE doing?
- Who do you do it for?
- What do THOSE peole want and need that they come to you for?
- How do THEY change as a result of what you give them?
So it's harder to figure out that for other people. So I have to break it down using other tools to get to what I love doing.
I have to know myself first and after listening to another TED talk I have to answer the following questions:
What pisses me off? < = > What do I love?
What do I like? < = > What do I hate?
What do I want?
This then leads to another set of questions:
- How am I smart?
What are my values? - What is my personal velocity?
- What is my background imprint?
- What is my behavioural style?
- What are the patterns in my codices?
Once I can establish that, I can nurture myself.
So I am in the middle of that journey now.
