Articles: Self - Live a
Prosperous Life
By Jo

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?
