This week's episode covers the topic of finding your purpose and also what to do if the idea of having a purpose makes you cringe.
I worked as a waitress for a loooooong time, from a Saturday job in a hotel at 14 to my final days of taking obscure and increasingly frankly provocative coffee orders (triple decaf soy macchiato. Really. ) in Melbourne at 27 when I became an English Teacher full time.
The skills I took from all that waitressing?
Firstly people skills, prewaitressing I was a shy bundle of avoiding eye contact, post waitressing I could probably have a satisfying conversation with the wax works in Madame Tussauds and secondly the ability to carry a tray of precarious and highly smashable cocktail glasses, at speed, whilst charming multiple customers and sweet talking/intimidating the barmen into getting my drinks ready faster.
The trick is to always look at the horizon, you put your drinks on the tray, plonk said tray on your hand and do not glance at it once you set off, focus on the horizon and you'll stay balanced.
Your purpose is the horizon, it pulls you forward and keeps the drinks tray of milestones and achievements steady and secure as you drop them off where they need to go along the way.
I hope this episode is useful for you and I invite you to join me in The Society which is the digital inception of my very own big purpose, part of which is helping you, my beautiful glass of champagne/elderflower mocktail on the way to your own destination!
