The number one way to discover your thing is to first and foremost explore the things you love to Do and what comes easy to you. Note that that which is easy to you is difficult to some others.
We
are all born with a deep and meaningful purpose that we have to discover. Your
purpose is not something you need to make up; it’s already there. You have to
uncover it in order to create the life you want. You may ask yourself, “What is
my purpose in life?” You can begin to discover your passion or your purpose by
exploring two things:
1. What do you love to do?
2. What comes easily to you?
Of
course, it takes work to develop your talents- even the most gifted musician
still has to practice-but it should feel natural, like rowing downstream rather
than upstream. I love to teach, to write, to coach, to facilitate, to train,
and to develop transformation seminars, workshops, and courses. I love to
bring other leaders together for conferences and to co-create new approaches to
our work.
These
things come easy for me. Although I invested many years in learning how to
master these skills, I loved every minute of it. In other words, work is
required, but suffering is not. If you are struggling and suffering, you are
probably not living on purpose.
