How to Live Out Your Purpose


Listen Later

Impacters are committed to purpose and bettering themselves. If you want to reach total fulfillment through all areas of your life you need to commit to purpose. Let’s roll.

If you aren’t familiar with what I’m talking about, refer to last week’s episode on 5 ways to make a positive impact.

But for those of us ready to get right into it, here it is.

The most important topic that you’ll ever dissect: is purpose. And that doesn't mean doing one thing over and over for the rest of your life. It means being ready to adapt and adapt to the world around you and doin whatever it takes to be impactful. Your purpose can come in different assignments. It’s normal and expected to show up in many different forms. The average graduate today will have 8-14 different careers. CAREERS. Not jobs. careers. That’s because adaptability is so crucial. We don’t know where the world is going to be, so we must learn how to adapt at light speed. 

And besides being adaptable, we have to learn to aim. As in, figure out where you want to go and be laser fixated on reaching that target.

You need to aim with intention. If you don’t aim, you’ll shoot from the hip and whatever your mission is, whatever you're trying to do will fall flat and never land. 

And on top of that, without aiming with intention and strength, your target will move fluidly. How frustrating is that, when you’re aiming at something, and the target keeps moving? Targets move because the intention isn’t set from within. If you don’t set the target, and aim with intention, you will never land any shots. Aim with intention and the stronger that your intention is, the greater the outcome for landing that shot.

And If you’re lost and wondering what your purpose is, or what your intention is, You need to use your inner vision and intuition. Where is the aim coming from? What scope are you using to aim down the barrel of your life? What target are you trying to hit? And if you can’t see it, it’s because you’re lacking that inner vision to see the target through. 

You have to be willing to set, scope, and aim at your intention, and that’s the way that you’ll reach the target of your purpose.

And to cap it off, you have to be willing and decide to pull the trigger. It's not enough to pull from within and aim, you have to be willing to pull the trigger when opportunity strikes.

Alright so building more off of that, and building off of our discussion last week on impact, we can really get to the bottom of what it means to have a purpose.

We spoke last week about how impacters actually believe they have a purpose, whereas loathers, takers, and tolerators, aren’t convinced such a thing exists. Impacters don’t even question this, and to take it a step beyond expectations, they are committed to the pursuit of achieving impact by constantly sharpening their skills, becoming a stronger, better, and sharper person than they were yesterday, and aren’t fulfilled until their clock runs out. 

And to dive even further into the deep end of this crucial quality, I want to discuss a few ways in which impacts hone in on the commitment to purpose and what it takes to actually become impactful.
