What am I excited about (what am I looking forward to)?
What am I grateful for?
What is my purpose?
I like to live in the “now” but I find that looking forward to a task or event helps me focus on what needs to be done today and during the week. I always want something to look forward to. I need that.
Showing gratitude (even when no one is looking) is not only important but it helps me focus on my purpose. I try to express gratitude to the people who are important to me (my mentors, friends, associates and family). These are the people who help me with my purpose – the really important people in my life. I always want to make sure they know how much I appreciate them.
And that leaves purpose. A great and worthy purpose is not easy to find (although sometimes purpose finds you!). I hope you have one (or two) in your life. So every day I consider the following: what is my purpose, what am I doing to achieve that purpose and why is my purpose important to me?
Why is the most important question because your “why” should lead you to your passion and your purpose. For nearly twenty years my passion has been to help others into a new career in video. For the nearly twenty years before that my passion was (and remains) video, film, story telling and media creation in general.
I have been lucky in that I have been able to merge both of my passions into a life I love and one that I feel is worthy. I thank God and the Universe daily for this. I am grateful.
If you are lucky enough to find a life purpose that is also your passion make sure to express your gratitude. You are one lucky individual!
May the Force Be With You
