The Life Purpose Podcast on Life Signatures Radio

I will say it over and over again, that purpose discovery is done while in motion. If you sit back and wait for a burning bush experience, you will be waiting for a pretty long time.

However, when you are in motion, when yo are taking action, you tend to be "led" in the process. Part of the action that you can take is that which dispels your fears. It is that which is rather uncomfortable. I have learnt that doing the uncomfortable and the fearful is one of the most potent ways of purpose discovery. Listen to this.

At the risk of sounding antigovernmental, I want to contest the slogan "Securing Your Future". I am not doing this from the political angle, I am doing this from the philosophical point.

The future is unknown. Heck, even this evening is unknown. To the degree that something is unknown, to that degree will we be afraid. It is not about securing the unknown future, it is about daring to go against our fears.

Your purpose could be an unknown thing chiefly because you are afraid of pulling towards that direction. But when you do activate the fear factor and go there anyway, you will see incredible stuff revealed about your purpose. Listen to this.

There are very many binaries in life. Life or death. Blessing or Curses. Good or evil. Black or white. Male or female (I'm sure this will be flagged on Facebook). However, there is one binary that I want to focus on: Comfort and Discomfort.

It is obvious that if you wanted to know your life purpose, the way of comfort will not work. One will need to select the route of discomfort. The problem is that the discomfort has to contend with fear.

Wherever we are afraid, that is where we need to act. In getting the feedback from our actions, we are able to discover what really matters to us. Listen to this.

After clarifying your vision, one might face some doubts. One might wonder if it is the right vision. One might wonder if they are on the right direction in the first place.

These doubts are real. In fact, it is for the reason of these doubts that many people would rather not follow through with their life vision. People are afraid to fail, to be laughed at and to waste their time.

Thankfully, you can pass your vision through a series of tests that will help you to grow in confidence as you seek to deploy it. Listen to this.

How do you test the validity of your vision? Let's talk about this for a minute. Is getting the best car of your dreams a vision? Is going on vacation a vision? Is it a vision if you can handle it all by yourself?

There are critical characteristics of vision that we need to internalize. If you find yourself in pursuit of whatever "personal vision" it is, then it follows that you need to check the validity and see if it really is a vision.

At times we confuse things that are goals or milestones, wishes and dreams as vision. There is nothing wrong with that. However, vision really is a different ball game altogether. Listen to this.
