“If you can’t figure out your purpose, figure out your passion. For your passion will lead you to your purpose.” T P Jones
I’m finding that more and more of my empath clients are seeking more than just success in terms of financial and material benefits. They are looking to find their purpose, to feel passionate and authentic in their working lives.
If we have to work, wouldn’t it be better to do something we love and not just follow the money?
If you are struggling to find your purpose, here are four tips to help you.
1. Find Your Passion
Your purpose may be linked to your passions, such as your hobbies, beliefs, or creative activities. It is what makes you come alive, what you would do if money were no issue. What would make you bounce out of bed every day, whether you made money or not?
2. Work Your Strengths
Once you are aware of your passions, make a list of your key strengths. Key strengths are areas where you feel confident in your abilities; for example, are you a people person or more skilled in organisation? Do you enjoy public speaking or prefer to work in the background? Your key skills might be transferable to help you work with your passion and develop your purpose.
3. Highlight Work In Progress Areas
Highlight skills you may need to convert your passion to your purpose, either by developing yourself or seeking the help of someone skilled in this area.
4. Experiment
Whether your passions develop into your purpose and become a hobby or a career, experiment with following your passion and purpose. Find like-minded people, join groups and see how other people are developing their passions into their purpose. Volunteer to gain experience if you can, to help you decide on how you will work with your purpose in the future.
