Hi, Reader,
Welcome to this week’s edition of Prime Time Journey! Let's make the rest of our lives the best of our lives, starting now.
Last week we talked about how living with purpose could change your life. This week we're going to talk about how to find that purpose(s). And also I have a fun suprise at the end.
Some people seem to be born knowing what they want in life (my daughter is one example). They find their passions or their talents early and just know to go after them. My daughter has a passion for people with special needs. But some people just don't know, maybe even after they reach middle age or beyond. Or they may have lost purpose after the kids have grown. That's common for midlife women. If you’re struggling to work out what it is you're really meant to do with your life, don’t give up. I have some ideas for you.
There are some simple questions you can work through to discover a more purposeful life. While it’s important to give each question proper consideration, try not to agonize over your responses. Allow your Inner Child and your intuition to guide your answers. Try to go through these when your mind is calm and relaxed. Find a quiet, inspirational place to think.
Use these questions to dig deep and find out more about yourself so you can work towards your true path.
Question 1: If Money Were No Object, What Would You Do?
If you had a never-ending magic source of money, how would you choose to spend it? Be honest – the answers are to help you, not to impress anyone else!
Question 2 If: You Could Do anything for A Whole Day, How Would You Spend it?
Think of your perfect day. It’s ok if it’s lying on a sun lounger by a pool or skiing in the Alps. Try and describe your ideal day in as much detail as possible.
Question 3: What are Some of Your Passions?
What energizes you? What puts a smile on your face and your imagination firing? It could be creative endeavors (lately, I have been making wax seals. Remember those from our younger days?), connecting with people, working with seniors, hiking or playing sports. Whatever your passions are, write them down!
Question 4: What Do You Really Love Doing?
Do you like nothing more than to bake or learn new gourmet techniques? Maybe you love writing or analyzing or even making spreadsheets. Or being out in nature or helping other people.
Question 5: What Was Your Childhood Passion?
Think back to what you loved to do when you were a kid. What did your parents have to call you away from, to come to the dinner table? What was the thing you would lose hours doing?
Close your eyes and remember back when you were totally absorbed in some kind of activity, maybe drawing, sewing, playing card games, reading or being outdoors.
Once you have a good picture of what lights you up, both now and when you were a kid, you can start to see some themes emerging. Think laterally about how you can begin to focus on some of those things which may have been a big part of your life but have somehow been minimized. A purposeful life starts here
Now here's the fun thing I mentioned in the beginning.
There's a global event coming up called the $1 Pick and Mix Sale where you can buy digital/printable products that usually cost much more for just $1.00 (or £1, €1, or other currencies - depending on where the creator is based). There will be all sorts of fun things offered during the week of April 28th through May 5!
What kind of goodies can you expect?
Whether you’re:
- A business owner looking for tools, templates, trainings and time-savers
- A planner enthusiast on the hunt for your next printable
- A creative soul eager to explore new ideas
- A parent looking for fun resources and tools
- Looking to try something new without a huge investment
- Or someone who just loves discovering digital gems at a great price
...there’s something for you inside.
You’ll find products to help you:
