5 Steps To Living Your Purpose

October 30, 2023 John Uncategorized No comments

You’ve nurtured your purpose for a long time. But you’re not sure if you’re really living it.

Let GenuLines help you take the guesswork out of this puzzle.

5 Steps To Living Your Purpose

You’re working hard to achieve your dream life. It could be that you’re aiming for a promotion at work.

Or you’re trying to get your business off the ground. If you’re finding success a bit of a struggle you may need to find your life’s purpose.

Finding your purpose is like finding a magic key. The key helps you align everything you do and focus on getting to your best life now.

Here are five steps to help set you in the right direction.

Look Within

Too many people look to others for the answers. Too many people follow a path that’s not theirs.

Only you can know what your dream life looks like. The answer to your life’s purpose lies deep within you.

You have to tune into it.

Journaling can be a helpful tool to allow your subconscious to speak your truth. Or meditation, or brainstorming.

The important thing is that you look into your own heart.

Trust Your Intuition

Learning to trust that inner voice that tells you that the conventional way of doing things isn’t right for you.

Whether it’s a college degree or a selling technique:

If it doesn’t feel right, you don’t have to do it!

Find your own way of living your life, and you’ll be much more likely to feel content and to be successful.

Get Friendly With Fear

Many people choose to live safe, conventional lives. They’re too afraid to do things in a different way or to take a chance.

Fear of the unknown is understandable. But you can choose to face your fears and to meet challenges head-on.

Deciding to live your own life according to your values and your passion means many things. One of them is being able to look fear in the face and step out of your comfort zone.

Don’t Be Bound by Your To-do List

It’s easy to become a slave to the never-ending checklist of things you need to do before you can live your purpose. You only get one shot at life.

Have a look at your current list of tasks. How many of them will move you closer to living your best life?

How many can you delete or delegate to someone else?

Know That You Already Have What You Need

One of the most important things to know is that you don’t need expensive courses or workshops, or the right suit or car.

You already have everything you need to start living your life’s purpose.

It’s all within you. What matters is what you do with it.

And today is the best time to start!

Does Your To-Do List Work For You?

November 19, 2019 John Uncategorized No comments

A to-do list can help keep order in your life. But does your list make the grade?

This GenuLines overview will help you get up to speed.

Does Your To-Do List Work For You?

The to-do list is a helpful tool. Something is satisfying about checking off an item when completed.

It can also be a reference when a boss wants to know employees’ progress. But, are you doing the right tasks to meet your longer-term goals?

That can leave you feeling as though you aren’t progressing.

Worse, you’ll be going through the motions of “doing something.” This will make the process of not getting anywhere that much more frustrating.

To-do lists are a good idea. But, you need to make sure they’re in-line with your goals.

You should consider taking a top-down approach to your tasks rather than bottom-up.

Start with your long-term goals

Where do you see yourself in a few years from now? If you can’t answer that question, you need to do some soul-searching.

Find what you want to accomplish at a high-level. Then, you can use that to break it down into granular tasks.

Finally, you use the mid-level tasks to help define the to-do list that you use daily. People put off setting long-term goals because the time frame seems so far in the future.

How can you be expected to know what’s going to happen five to ten years from now? It’s much easier to choose the shorter-term time frames.

You can measure what happens two weeks from now as it’s going to happen soon.

Commitment

Some people believe that declaring a long term goal and chiseling it in stone commits them to it. Remember that circumstances can change, and goal adjusting may be called for.

Don’t be afraid to commit to your goals. You may want to create a few long-term goals.

As you’re working on what it will take to reach those goals, you can decide which path makes the most sense. You can take into account both feasibility and costs.

Some goals become unattainable for one reason or another, so prepare to change course. In fact, if you can project these possibilities, you can put them on your list of goals.

Set your goals and break them down into sub-tasks. Creating your to-do lists will become easier.

And, they’ll get you closer to accomplishing your goals.
