“Develop a Messianic Sense of Purpose.”

Mark Zuckerberg was worth some $$ million by the time he was at his early 30’s, and it didn’t matter to him. Understanding this one fact will help you unlock the secret behind Mark’s extraordinary charisma.

Your Sense of Purpose is shaped by things you believe in and value – your own personal code of behaviour.

The sense of Purpose helps you live by those values.

These might include things like:

• being a good friend

• helping others

• keeping healthy

• improving the community

• looking after your family

• experiencing the world by travelling

Big or Small?

Some people know from an early age exactly what they want to be in life. Some don’t know till much later in life, and that’s okay, too. Your Sense of Purpose can change as you grow older, as you learn new things about the world and about yourself, and as you meet new people and experience new things. What is important is being able to identify the things that matter to you

Helpful When Things Go Wrong:

It is important to know that Sense of Purpose not only helps you to find and do things that add meaning to your life, it also helps when things go wrong. Sometimes life presents unforeseen events – like sickness or accidents – and sometimes, despite trying hard, you mightn’t achieve what you strived for. A healthy Sense of Purpose helps you to put those events in perspective, to refocus on the things that are meaningful to you, and to move ahead and enjoy life.

Why is Having a Sense of Purpose So Important?

Sense of Purpose (or meaning) is the motivation that drives you toward a satisfying future. It also helps you to get the most from the things you do and achieve – large and small – right now.

Sense of Purpose helps you:

• priorities your life

• make plans

• get the drive to keep going when things get tough

• identify things that truly count if circumstances change

• become more resilient as you grow

• It helps you focus on short-term goals like

· getting homework done · looking after a brother or sister

· getting into school debate team and long-term goals like

· working as a volunteer

· getting a trade apprenticeship or going to university

· starting a family

Sense of Purpose reflects:

• Things that give you meaning, security and pleasure like:

· comfort

· family

· financial stability

· laughter

· health

• Qualities you respect in yourself and others like

· honesty · generosity · fairness · respect

CULTIVATE SUCCESS IN EVERY ASPECT OF YOUR LIFE

“HERE’S TO THE BETTER YOU” Set boundaries with others. Advocate for your own needs. Be caring towards others, but don't accept abuse from anyone. Remember, being a good person does not mean you have to take violent or disrespectful language or actions from anyone. · Respect the boundaries others set for you, too. Listen to your loved ones when they tell you they need space or want to do something alone. 1. Change your perception. Many people, when faced with a tough scenario like losing a job, look at their life with despair. I lost a job years ago. It was the hardest thing, up till that point in my life, that had ever happened. I was lost. I finally realized my choices were to let the challenges and frustrations of the past dictate my current feelings and behaviour, or learn from the situation and realize what potential I have in my life. You can change your perception by trying to find something positive in every situation but first, you have to choose

TIME MANAGEMENT !

Manage your Time... One of the most effective skills you can have in life is powerful and effective time management . If you're not managing your time well, there's no way you're going to reach your goals at work and the life outside of it. Sure, you might make some progress. But your time management will be an uphill battle if you don't take your time seriously. For people who squander and waste the precious little time they do have, they know all too well how difficult achieving even mildly difficult goals can be. The truth is that time is the greatest equalizer in life. No matter who you are, your age, income, gender, race or religion, you have the same amount of time as the next person. Whether you're filthy rich or dirt poor, your time is the same. It's not about how much time you have. It's about how effectively you manage your time . So if you're serious about achieving your goals, not only do you need to set those goals the right way

IDENTIFY YOUR PASSION!

What do you want your legacy to be? Passion is a feeling of intense enthusiasm towards or compelling desire for someone or something. Passion can range from eager interest in or admiration for an idea, proposal, or cause; to enthusiastic enjoyment of interest or activity; to strong attraction, excitement, or emotion towards a person. (The “thing” you’re passionate about). Passion compels you to take risks and push yourself past your current limits. It could be a hobby, injustice, art, sports, public speaking. Anything you feel strongly about. (Including things you can’t stand. Intense dislike of something is also a kind of passionate emotion and can drive you to create something new.). It doesn’t matter. If it pulls you and fills your thoughts, or makes you come alive, then it’s passion. Passion will inspire and encourage you even when you come up against challenges. What I’ve found in life, is that it’s our passion that directs us in the best possible course for o
