From Inspiration to Manifestation

So here I am - back to square one. Figuring out what I want to do when I grow up. I know, I'm meant to be all grown up but I'm not. This has led me to watching TED talks and from there to a company called Mindvalley.

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:
  1. Who are you?
  2. What do you do? or What do you LOVE doing?
  3. Who do you do it for? 
  4. What do THOSE peole want and need that they come to you for?
  5. How do THEY change as a result of what you give them?
 My problem is I love doing way too many things and people come to me for many different things.

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.
