“Life really begins when you have discovered that you can do anything you want.” We hope you enjoyed the “10 steps to find your Purpose..” that we sent out 5 days ago. (if not yet, check it out) We’ve received a lot of wonderful reactions – and, to be completely honest, also quite a few concerns about the viability of such a journey: “..can this be a real basis for finding my purpose?” and “..it is now so easy as you make it sound?..” Well, no. It’s not easy; otherwise everybody would just do it, isn’t it? And yes, it can be a wonderful basis, if you commit to finding more. You know, not everybody is searching deep for their purpose.. We’ve learned a lot of things along the way: some things are still helpful, some are less helpful and some are down right harmful to the people we are right now. Most of the things we “learned” became patterns along which we act and/or react and, to be again completely honest, most of us are scared (to death!) to look at our patterns of behavior. “Confidence, like art, never comes from having all the answers; it comes from being open to all the questions.” Earl Gray Stevens We bet you have lots of questions. We all do! Anyone looking to design the life they want does. And if you are like us, you want your answers fast.. It is not that your answers won’t eventually show up, just be patient . . . In the meantime, you will fearlessly continue on your journey to discover what you want in your life. More importantly, you must take the steps necessary to make that happen. Trust us, it can happen if you commit. You will need to be daring, to feel resilience, confidence and courage. There will probably be failures and mistakes along the way, but none that you cannot learn from. Ioana, The TED video you sent me is awesome! It is a source of great inspiration. I agree that we should share the video with our community. Like you, I feel that Shine Business has a mission to support women to be seen, heard and truly themselves. Too many women have spent their lives being good “slaves.” Instead of following our dreams, we have been doing what others expected of us. Through support and encouragement of others, I have found the confidence to pursue my own dreams and want to help other women do the same. |
