How to create a thriving prosperous life...
by Jo Ball
You only have to look around you at your friends,
family and colleagues to see that there is an abundance of people
who have talents, yet many are held back by a mortgage, a family,
lack of confidence or some other reason.
Deep inside us we all have a dream of living a thriving, prosperous
life, but often we‘re unsure of how to navigate our way through the
issues that come our way, and too many people, too often, give up
and start making excuses to themselves about success being for
others.
What I think is vitally important, and something that is often
completely ignored these days is this: no-one else is quite like
you. That’s right, you are unique - as unique as a sacred place,
rare bird or a beautiful flower.
This uniqueness seeps out of you each and every day. It can’t help
it. It’s because it is who you really are. When this uniqueness is
suppress, negative feelings like frustration, anger or
disillusionment rise.
You only have to look at the statistics that employers publish about
lost days through stress or other related sicknesses to know
something is not right in the employment market. This is nothing
more than individuals forgetting about their unique gifts and trying
force themselves into a role they have no energy for.
What I work with is Life Purpose. Life Purpose is all about starting
with the unique gift you were born with and using that as the
central driving force for your whole life. Working like this clears
away the clutter of reasons and excuses. It re-ignites the fire of
life.
You only need remember a time when you totally loved what you were
doing. If you remember a time like this, you'll know you were in
timeless awareness - where the hours slipped by without you
realising.
I'm one of the fortunate ones, I'm absorbed by work I love. It took
some initial searching to find my purpose, but I'm now totally
absorbed by what I do and earn my living from doing what I love.
If you've been signed off work recently with stress, feel lethargic,
overweight, depressed, lost and often unsure then I strongly suggest
reviewing your life purpose. If you don't you're going to drift
through life like a boat drifts across the sea when it has no
rudder.
Suggestion – Take time to consider all your talents and gifts. What
have you been doing when you have been completely absorbed and lost
all track of time? What areas do you feel you haven’t explored that
you would have like to have done? Ask
other people what they see as being your strengths, talents and
gifts. What do they think is unique about you?
