The Power of Imagination
The power of imagination has no bounds.
Realizing your dreams, regardless of the obstacles in front of you is not only possible.
It is a driving force that leads to complete happiness.
Think of the good things you have going for you and your goals suddenly become quite reachable.
When you doubt yourself, reaffirm your self-worth and confidence by frequently helping others who have not had the advantages you were blessed with.
Have your goals always in front of you and the tasks suddenly become easier to perform.
Dreaming can bring you pleasure. However, to make dreams realities, you must have the drive, passion, and determination to carry you through the tough spots. Develop your stubborn, single-mindedness. Set your plan in action and work towards your dreams until you reach them.
Finding Your True Purpose In Life
Finding Your True Purpose In Life
The only way of finding your true purpose in life is by living a life that isn’t centered on getting approval from other people.
You have to explore your interests and passions. When you come to discover what you are meant to be, you must be prepared to silence the voices and listen to one voice only.
That voice that lives inside of you. It is your True North. And will tell you to keep trying, keep moving, believe in yourself, and to stay true to your purpose.
Unfortunately, not many people have found their true purpose in life.
They are either living a life that they are told they are supposed to live or they have accepted the misguided notion that finding your true purpose in life takes years and years.
Which may not always be the case.
Here are the top 5 things that are hindering you from finding your true purpose in life:
-
You don’t know where to begin.
One thing stopping or delaying you from living your purpose is that you have no idea where to begin finding what your life purpose is in the first place.
The only way of discovering what your calling is in life is by knowing where to begin searching and the best place to start is inside you.
What are you passionate about? Is there something you can do exceptionally well that has people coming to you for assistance or advice? That could be your true purpose.
-
You rely on other people to dictate what your life purpose is.
You are failing to realize your calling because you have become accustomed to people telling you how you ought to live and what to do. Sometimes your closest friends or family may have the right intentions.
When it comes to advising you or telling you what you should. Hence, good intentions may not be right. They may have an idea of who and what they want you to become. That doesn’t necessarily mean that’s what you were created to be.
-
You are engrossed in comparing your life to that of others.
Additionally, comparing your life, abilities, or achievements to that of other people can stop you from knowing your destiny. You spend most of your time focusing on “If only I was that smart” or “I wish I could do that” and fail to appreciate what you are already great at. If you are truly set on finding out your true purpose you have to stop comparing yourself to other people, get rid of negative thoughts, and replace them with “I was born to have an impact and I will find out what that is.”
-
You already have a “picture” of what your purpose is.
We all have an “idea” of what we are meant to do, particularly during our adolescent years.
-
You are not seeking guidance from the right people.
While discovering your true purpose on your own is the way to go, seeking guidance from the right people won’t hurt.
It will accelerate the process of finding out what your calling is in life. Additionally, it will give you ample time to seek efficient ways of staying true to your purpose.
Finally, it will help you become who you are meant to be.
Finding your true purpose in life is the first step in overcoming those barriers. Contact Us to find out how we can help you.

Identifying Your Gifts – It Will Make You Stronger
Identifying Your Gifts
Christopher is a dental assistant at his father’s clinic in a small town. He wanted to be an author when he was younger but there was never enough time. As evidenced by two unfinished manuscripts at the base of his sock drawer.
When he is not working, Christopher spends his time online, reading the work of his favorite authors.
Lately, he has been feeling the urge to do something more with his life.
Driven by this urge, Christopher rediscovers his passion to write. He also discovers that the subject of most of his written work revolves around motivation and getting people to believe in their abilities.
Christopher is among the few people in the world who have been fortunate to identify their gift.
Finding your purpose in life.
Finding your life’s purpose is not simple. It takes a lot of work to discover what you are passionate about and to use it to make a difference in other people’s lives. The journey of finding your purpose is personal, but what you do after that is never really about you. It is about what you can do for others with your hidden talents.
We often desire to reach a state of glory. There are influencers in all spheres and we want what they have without realizing the limitations they had to encounter and boundaries that they had to break to get to where they are. We see people we can easily relate to because they have similar backgrounds to ours. Most of them were ordinary, some of them as awkward as us. That they are being paid to talk or sing or bake makes it all seem easy until we read their biographies. It took a lot of self-discovery for them to find their passion. It will take a lot more to identify your own gifts and talents.
How to identify your gifts.
‘A gift is the thing you do best with the least amount of effort.’ Steve Harvey.
The first step in identifying your gifting is finding time to reflect on your abilities. There are certain things that you know you are good at or that you love doing that are not necessarily things that they have taught you. It is important to dig deep within yourself to find what you are passionate about.
Listing down what you are passionate about, your capabilities or talents will help you narrow down things you can focus on in pursuing purpose. Alternatively, you can list down things you are interested in, or that you would like to do, given the time, opportunity, or resources to do them.
Limitations to this discovery process often come because of a lack of exposure. You may not even know what you like or have an interest in because your current environment does not allow you to go beyond the familiar.
It may not allow you to think outside of your normal routine or beyond your usual cycle. This then requires you to use your imagination. Think about what you would do outside of your normal lifestyle if someone was to approach you with a monetary offer to do what you loved. If you were to provide a service to people based on your passion, what would that service look like?
Identifying your gifts in other people
Another approach to use in identifying your gifts is finding influential people who have similar interests to yours. Hence, shadowing such people and observing their journey could help put into perspective what you can reproduce from what they have accomplished. Seeing what they have had to do to get to where they are might help you decide whether the path they chose can be yours too. Following them could give you insight into what it might require making it in the same field they are in should you choose that path. If your intense research can still pique your interest, then it is likely that you have found your purpose. Continuing to shadow such people offers you mentorship on how to proceed until you can share your gifts with the world.
The journey of discovering your purpose does not end with you identifying your gifts. Rather, it starts where you know what you are good at.
There is a lot of investment that goes into perfecting the gifts you discover. The greatest resource investment you will need to make is time.
You will need to spend a lot of time doing market researches to find where your gift fits in. Additionally, you must rehearse your delivery so that the world buys into what you are selling.
Investigate and make a plan.
Take the time to learn the ins and outs of whatever industry you go into. For example, if your gift is in the art industry, invest time in learning how to penetrate it. If your gift is writing you will need to read other authors and improve your own writing skills.
Invest time in finding out about publishing, marketing, and sales.
There are many other investments you will need to make. Some investments will be monetary. Others will include finding people who will help you nurture, package, and deliver your gift in the most effective way possible. Be it equipment, such as phones, cameras, or laptops or tools for your trade. The bottom line is you will need to invest to pursue your purpose.
Finally, identifying your gifts will take a lot of effort on your part. Do not let that intimidate you. Instead, let it motivate you as a result of satisfaction that you have lived a meaningful life.

Knowing Your Purpose – Why is it Important
Knowing Your Purpose will bring clarity to your life.
A story is told of a young man who had a series of misfortunes in life. No matter where he was or what he tried to do bad luck was always on his side. Nonetheless, he kept going. Every time he fell, he got back up and gave it yet another shot. Family and friends advised him to give up and try something new. “You may excel at what you haven’t tried yet”, they said.
Without giving in, he kept working on becoming the health practitioner he was set out to be.
Whenever disheartening words came from all sides, family, his response was:
“I know what I am meant to be” “I know who I am and I will stay true to my purpose.”
The most important thing about knowing your purpose is that it gives you strength to persevere. Keep on trying, and get back up each time you fall. Knowing who you are and the impact you have in the world will keep you moving forward. Knowing your purpose will give you peace in life. Peace with yourself, peace with your purpose, peace with your methods, and peace in everything you do.
Staying the course.
Years passed and the young man still hadn’t achieved his goal but still, he kept giving it yet another shot. Just when he was on the brink of giving in, he found yet another reason to go on.
He remembered the first thing that made him realize what his purpose in life was. Losing his loved ones to illnesses that had no cure left a deep scar. Failing to raise enough money for their treatment, additionally, lacking the knowledge of how to protect them left a void in his life.
He knew then what is calling in life was. It gave him strength to continue.
A few years later, he graduated and became a doctor .
Looking back at his life, he was grateful for everything he had experienced including the lessons learned along the way.
Most importantly he was grateful to himself for remaining true to his purpose.
5 reasons why knowing your purpose is important in life.
-
It keeps you focused on what you are meant to accomplish.
Knowing your purpose is the best way of retaining your focus and eliminating distractions that you encounter along the way. Hence, when you know who you are and you concentrate on finding better ways of becoming who you are destined to be.
-
It gives meaning to your life.
There is nothing more depressing and time-wasting than living a meaningless life. Not knowing what important role you are meant to play in the world will have you assuming that anything that comes your way is worth your time and effort. On the other hand, knowing what you are destined to be gives meaning to your life and gives you the guidance you need to go from where you are to where you were meant to be.
-
It enables you to manage your time wisely.
Ever reflected on your day a few minutes before bed only to be disappointed by all the unchecked tasks on your daily schedule? Many people go through that. Failing to accomplish your daily tasks springs from failing to manage your time wisely and getting diverted from your main goals. Knowing what you are meant to accomplish in the long run will help you avoid creating room for time-wasting activities that are in no way linked to your goal and keep you producing at an elite level.
-
It gives you a sense of belonging.
Life can be lonely when you feel you don’t belong anywhere but discovering your purpose in life will guide you to the right places and help you connect with the right people. Starting relationships, growing good relationships, and getting rid of bad ones becomes easier and it will make your life a whole lot easier.
-
It gives you the confidence you need to go forward.
Last but not least, knowing your purpose in life is important because it gives you confidence in yourself. It serves as a constant assurance that you have what it takes to fulfill your purpose and that you will become who you are meant to be. It gives you the strength to keep going forward, keep climbing, keep aiming higher, and keep believing in yourself.
