As Millennial's deal with adulting, they ask themselves, What is my purpose? What is the reason for my existence?

Today on the "Transform your Mind with Coach Myrna Podcast", I interview the Author of "The Millenial's Playbook to Adulting", Arika L. Pierce

The first step is to find your passion. This is where you find that

you can be in it all day long and you don't feel tired and you don't feel

bored and you're just illuminated and just joyful and and it's a great way

to live your life. You know when you live

a passionless life just because you're making money does not mean that you are living with passion.

Let me share a personal story. My daughter always felt that she was supposed to be a

Psychologist, getting her degree and everything. Along that journey

she read Nelson's Mandela's book "A long walk to freedom" and decided that

she needed to become a political advocate and she just switched right

away. She applied and got into American University,

the top political science university with no background in politics.

Today she's working for a company right next door

to the White House, and doing some great great work at Common Cause.

I didn't even think about that until right now and that's what I like about

the Holy Spirit or of my Higher Self

things pop into my head. It is also an example of leaning your ladder up against the wrong

building! My next question is a follow-up to the first and it is do you agree that

we're all meant to do a certain thing on this earth? And what is your advice

to Millennial's to find out their purpose? How Can Millennial's Find Their Purpose?

Let's say using my daughter story that she didn't know what

her purpose was. She went to school and maybe felt

psychology is a job that can make her money that's where a lot of Millennial's

Park right, so what advice do you give them?

To answer your first question in terms of do I think we're

all here to do something, yes I definitely believe that we individually

are all here to bring some value or offer something back to the

world. I believe some of us it takes longer than others

but; I do believe we are all here to accomplish something and I think we

probably give different weight to what we accomplish. Just because what you believe it is something small it can be

transformational to somebody else. In terms of what I believe Millennial's can

do in terms of finding their purpose, I actually think it starts with a very

simple concept and that is honestly taking time to think and to plan and I

think when we sit back and you when you look at your life if you plan it with

the level of detail that you plan for example a vacation you'd be surprised

about you know how much how differently you might view things.

I recommend taking one hour a week to evaluate where you are and where you want to go.

The timeline might be where I want to go this week, it might be where I want to go

in the next year, in the next two years or five years from now. Whatever time

period I feel I need to think about it and plan for at that time for example if you're thinking

I hate my job, it's not fulfilling this is

not my purpose. Then you know think about what would make you feel more

purposeful? What are the types of positions or jobs that you would like to

be in?
