Our responsibility in life lies in getting to know ourselves.
Getting that intimate knowledge of the unique inner workings we all have so that we can understand what we have to offer the world.
This Is How We Come To Understand Our Purpose.
Once we gain that understanding of our unique gifts, we then need to bring these internal ideas and values out to share it with the people around us. This is how we become our personal best self.
Too Simple?
To live our purpose we must know ourselves, to make a difference and have a positive impact we then need to emote our uniqueness.
We must share our gifts, our energy and our thoughts so others can learn from us and we can learn from others.
Easier Said Than Done.
It can be frightening to put ourselves out there in the world. We will be judged and criticized, possibly hurt by others. Because many people have not learned how to accept the uniqueness of other individuals around them.
We are far too focused on conformance and societal norms to make it easy for each individual to be an individual.
Once we build up the courage in life to begin living our purpose it means we must step out into the world and present ourselves and our ideas in those ways that you feel appropriate.
Read That Again
Read that again, it says present yourself and your ideas in the way that you feel is appropriate.
It does not say present yourself in the prim fashion that your family taught you.
It does not say present yourself in the way that your neighbors would expect from a person of your stature.
Once you have done the work to really get to know and get comfortable with yourself and what you have to offer the world; you will be viewing the world through your values and beliefs.
Those values and beliefs will ensure that your internal compass guides behaviour that is appropriate for the work you must do.
Now, We Can Practice and Be Prepared
Like learning to ride a bicycle it takes a few attempts before we get proficient at a new skill.
If you are trying to present yourself in your own authentic way you may choose to do this in the safety of your home. Just as a child would when they are playing grown up, remember, that pure youthful play that happened before you were aware of others judgement?
You can practice by sharing your ideas with dear friends and those family members that you know accept you without judgement. If you don’t feel you have either of these people consider sharing your ideas with me, send me an email and we will make time. The fact that you verbalize your ideas, that you speak your purpose and share that voice you have within you is critical for your success in achieving the delivery of your personal best self.
This practice, this repetition of you acting out your purpose will accelerate your success and fulfillment in life. It will help you make that positive impact on others that you have secretly held inside. It may help you find love and wealth if that is something your path leads you to.
Look At This Simply
If you look at this simply all you are trying to do is make a positive personal impression on others by being yourself.
However do not mistake this for doing what is taught to you or expected of you from others. Your job, once you know yourself, is to do your best to put that deeply rooted internal version of yourself that you know is inside, outside. It’s like a job interview or first date, we are going to show up to that stage as our best version of our authentic self.
In fact if they don’t hire you, or you don’t get a second date, and you were authentic, it wasn’t right for you. Pick yourself up, get rooted again in that inner strength and try again. Get clear on who you are and that you love that person you see inside and show it.
Make sure that your social media feeds show a true version of who this is as well. We want to know you.
We want to learn from your unique perspective on the world. If we have time with you in person, we want the feelings and impression you leave us with to be authentic.
No One Likes Lies
As a matter of fact people may not remember who you are, but they will remember how you made them feel.
If your experience has been that people don’t understand you or, that you are not getting the results you desire out of personal relationships or out of life.
I guarantee you part of this will lie in the fact that you are not putting your true best self out there.
You Are Holding Back Somehow, For Some Reason.
Are living life by someone else’s terms and judgement?
That is part of life though isn’t it?
We get an education, start a job and our employers quickly indoctrinate us into their corporate values, expected behaviors’ and culture.
We meet someone special and we want it to work so badly we fail to speak up when their parent places expectations on us that doesn’t fit our value system.
It’s no wonder people get miserable in their careers and in relationships.
They didn’t know their true best self before they committed.
