What is your life purpose and how do you Find Your Passion?  These type of questions are constantly being asked over and over again.   The answer is right there and resonates from your heart.  The first thing you need to do is ask yourself what is the one thing I absolutely LOVE to do and I do better than anyone else. 

Please don’t make your answer “I just want to help people.”  That is a wonderful gesture and I think it is quite noble of you, however, I want you to probe a little deeper.

Okay, you know you want to help people.  The next question to contemplate is what capacity do you see yourself helping people.  Do you want to help clothe people, feed people, inspire people, coach people?  You see how broad this topic appears.

To determine your life purpose / passion, you need to determine the one thing you do better than anyone else.  Not only are you the master of this craft but you can get paid doing it. If you are not sure where to start, I can always assist you through a life coaching session.

I believe people, society and culture have placed certain standards and expectations on us which cause us to question are abilities. Most of these judgments are untrue and can lead is on a path far from our true calling. This ultimately causes unrest in our life and can lead to disappointment and sadness.

Understanding your hidden talents and believing anything is possible can empower you to reach new heights.   Your passion is the one thing you were meant to do to fulfill your life’s purpose and when you are doing your passion it does not feel like work.

You wake up each morning with a smile on your face and eager to begin the day. The excitement is palpable, it radiates from your soul and others want to be around you to absorb your energy and power.

Begin by having a brainstorming session with yourself:

1. Write down your talents in your journal and what you excel at.  It doesn’t matter whether it’s large or small. 
2. Now ask yourself; If I could get paid to do this one thing, I think I would be living the dream. Whether it’s a chef, nurse, teacher, etc. Make sure it’s something you are GREAT at and have the passion to pursue.
3. Once you discovered your special talent, it’s time to unlock the door to your dream and begin moving in this direction.  TAKE ACTION!! Do at least one task – everyday – that will move you in a forward direction towards your passion. Yes, I did say everyday!! Even if it is something small – Just do it!
4. Create an outline with a clear direction of where you are heading without trying to determine what it looks like in advance.
5. Once your start down this path make sure you follow your heart and listen to your inner guidance.  It is ALWAYS right!  Sometimes it can be the difficult path but I guarantee it will be worth it in the end!

It will take courage, perseverance and patience.  Your journey will have many twists, roadblocks, hills and valleys but I am confident, if the power within you to succeed is greater than the power to fail, you will cultivate your dream and live a life you have always dreamed.

I believe in YOU and I know you have everything within you to succeed. Stay focused and make sure your gifts and talents are a true expression of love and to be of service to mankind.  Wishing you good health, happiness, and recognizing your passion for LIFE!

If you are having a difficult time meeting people, engaging with others or just making new friends, let me provide you with 5 Tips you can implement today to build your confidence and ultimately, increase your self-esteem.

5 Tips To Build Your Confidence

When you feel good about yourself, you will begin to attract the right people and events, empowering you to achieve success.  So let’s begin:

1.  Body Language

Appear happy and friendly and take notice of your body language.  Your posture should be relaxed and be sure to keep your back straight. This shows people you are comfortable and confident. 

• Make eye contact – It shows you are trustworthy, honest, and sincere.
• Lean in – When you’re conversing, leaning forward indicates your are interested and paying attention.
• Firm Handshake – A weak or limpy handshake indicates low self confidence.  Make a point to shake someone’s hand firmly and with a smile.
  

2.  Give Genuine Compliments

Compliment others and be genuine.  Giving compliments is a true and tried accolade providing a positive boost not only for the recipient but also for you!!

When you take the time to give a thoughtful, genuine praise to another person it strengthens your confidence and boosts your self-esteem.

The act of giving compliments creates a chain reaction where others will perform selfless acts of kindness… words have the power to change the world.

3.  Active Listening

By being an active listener involves more than just hearing someone talk. When you are paying attention and interested in what a person is saying you are practicing active listening.

Which means you are listening will all your senses and giving your undivided attention to the person with whom you are speaking with.

Why Practice Active Listening?

Active listening allows you to earn the trust of others by offering them support and assistance. You are inevitably redirecting your problems by helping others through their circumstances.

By supporting others you open yourself up to a whole new world. You’re solving problems, seeing different points of view and gaining new perspectives. You will develop patience and tolerance by solving and understanding their situations.

By actively listening your confidence and self-esteem will definitely grow to new levels!

4.  Stay Positive

Staying positive while your confidence is low can be a very daunting task.  However, there are still many things you can focus on to improve the quality of life enabling you to increase your confidence and self-esteem.   

Remove the Negative Self-Talk.

Start with articulating and acknowledging the thoughts which are weighing you down. The ones that don’t serve any useful purpose beyond keeping you stuck. Release those statements, such as, “I forgive myself for procrastinating” or “It’s okay for me to be angry”.

If you spend less being stressed out for procrastinating, you can redirect the energy into breaking down a project or task into manageable tasks and actually tackling your to-do list.

5.  Stop Comparing

Stop comparing yourself to other people. Low self-esteem stems from feeling inferior.  Your personal mission is to be better today than you were yesterday.   Part of what makes life awesome and interesting is learning from the talents of others.

Instead of trying to be as good or better than others, focus your energy on being the very best version of yourself.  Remember comparing will always steal your joy and happiness.

But even more than that, it prevents us from fully living our lives. It calls us to envy someone else’s life and seek theirs rather than ours. It robs us of our most precious possession; life itself.

Final Thoughts

Accept where you are – right now!! This may be uncomfortable but do it anyways.  Ask your higher self to guide you and let go of the sadness.  Be BRAVE!  Look around and notice what you have created from low self-confidence…  hard as it may be, it’s necessary in order to move forward.

You can conquer your fears, however, the first step is always the most difficult. Life has a unique way of throwing curve balls when we least suspect.  We go through the motions of going to work, buying our first house, being a parent, paying bills, vacations and then one day we wake up and wonder where the years have gone.

Our life review may involve looking at our career, our age, home environment, the choices are children have made and those pesky pounds that just seem to stick like super glue.  I’m sure you have asked yourself; is this the best it gets? 

You see my goal was to become a super star in my field but I was always getting passed by for the promotion.  I was tired all the time and not motivated like I used to be.  Whatever happened to my dreams and goals?  Does any of this resonate with you?

Did life’s routine seem to shatter your dreams or make them just a distant memory.  Isn’t it time to stop thinking about it and do something to change your situation. You have ALL the power within you to make the change.

Think about it – we make 1000’s of choices every day.  From brushing our teeth, to taking shower and deciding what to make for breakfast.  What makes changing a job, losing weight or changing your home environment any different?  Yes, the changes may seem larger but again it’s about choices.

Be Fearless

1.  Create Your “To Do” List

It’s not about taking giant steps it’s the little steps you take each day to reach your goal.  I find the best way to keep myself accountable is by writing my “To Do” list every morning.  There is something motivating about writing down those items you need to complete in black and white.  When you begin to cross out the completed items it absolutely gives you a sense of freedom and satisfaction.  Just begin this simple task and I know you will be surprised with your results.

2.  Avoid Distractions

Avoiding distractions is all about staying focused on your task and not putting it off until later. Staying focused means not letting others interrupt you or allowing the noise in your work or home environment to distract you.  It also means not thinking about other tasks which are less urgent, more enjoyable or easier to complete.    

Remember… A distraction is anything that grabs your attention and prevents you from putting your mind to your task and completing it in the time allotment. 

Questions to think about: 

• What are the worst distractions for you? 
• What, if anything, can you do to avoid them?

3.  Embrace Imperfection

Perfectionism is an all-or-nothing mentality: Something is either perfect, or it is a failure. People with these type of tendencies  wait until things are perfect in order to proceed.  If it’s not perfect, it cannot be finished or if it is not the perfect time, then it’s not even worth starting.  This all-or-nothing mentality can hold you back from starting or completing your tasks.

Instead, focus on being less than perfect. This means you still strive for excellence, but at the same time, you focus on getting the job done.   Getting something done is better than doing nothing.

Final Thoughts

Be fearless and begin by make the right choices which will lead you to your destiny.  Always thinking about your dream will not make it a reality until you start putting action behind those thoughts.  Thoughts without action will keep you in the same world of uncertainty.

I want you to Dream Big and I want you to Dream Large.  You have all the power to be anything and everything!
