Finding Your Purpose
Finding Your PurposeDo you know your purpose in life? What a great feeling! But what if you know your purpose but can't get yourself to take action toward your goal? No, you're not procrastinating. It could be that you're just busy with minute-by-minute life. If you want to change, try this:1) Slow down and get real. Running faster will only distract you from your purpose even further. Be brave and accept what you want. 2) Forget any limitations floating around in your mind. After all, they'll probably not be good ones anyway. Toss out fear of consequences for your actions too.3) Accept where you are in your life today. Start there and move forward. Put one foot in front of the other, pointing toward your dreams. Stand up, take a step, and repeat! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
