Tell yourself i can figure this out, that is the only way you can overcome the fear of achieving your purpose in life. Be optimistic.
Explore – This is more like getting to know your passion. We were all born with different dreams and life purpose, it’s not something you create on your own, it’s in you. First of all believe you have a passion then try to uncover it. You can do this by watching yourself closely, what do you find fascinating and easy?.
When you know this, go out there and talk to people in that field, let them share their experiences and knowledge of how that field is like, with you. Research on it, practice, explore, to know if this is really for you. In doing this, you are defining your dream career.
What are your personal values? – These are characters and behaviors that motivate you, so you need to live by them. Ensure you focus on these personal values, what you value differs from what other people value. Knowing what makes you feel good is also a good start off if you want to find your life’s purpose and achieve your dreams.
If you’re finding this difficult, a coach can help you out, because in finding your life’s purpose you need to define your personal values.
Follow your instinct – At this stage, you’re fully aware of yourself, it’s obvious because you can now make decisions of your own. Learn to follow your instinct/heart. It’s absolutely normal to make mistakes and redirect your steps, it’s not going to seem ok when you let those mistakes define you.
If you don’t feel confident about the previous dream career you’ve discovered, it’s normal to switch to another, so far you believe in it. The main point is to set yourself on the path of achieving success in your life’s purpose.
Align your goals with your purpose in life – Avoid distractions, don’t engage in anything that won’t help in building those dreams of yours. What ever goal you set should be in line with your purpose in life. For example if your goal is to be a professional hairstylist go ahead and learn that, if it’s in line with your life’s purpose.
Be flexible, do what you want, build yourself physically, emotionally and otherwise, because you’re on a mission.
You can choose to be whatever you want, the ball is in your court now, you need to get out of your comfort zone, and make something meaningful out of your existence.
