Embracing Our Humanity and Finding Purpose

3 Pillars of Success

Welcome back to another insightful edition of SUCCESS 101.

Today, we’re diving deep into a topic that resonates with each one of us: improving the quality of our lives by finding our purpose and embracing our humanity. Life is indeed an opportunity to do, be, and have whatever we desire, but the journey to discovering what we were born to do can often feel overwhelming. Let's explore practical ways to uncover our purpose and how the power of imagination and mindset shifts can transform our lives.

- Your purpose is to enjoy your life -

Discovering Your Purpose

To figure out what you were born to do, consider the following steps:

1. Self-Reflection: Spend time reflecting on your passions, interests, and talents. What activities make you lose track of time? What topics are you naturally drawn to? Your purpose often lies at the intersection of what you love and what you're good at.
2. Seek Feedback: Sometimes, others see our strengths more clearly than we do. Ask friends, family, and colleagues about the qualities they admire in you and the skills they believe you excel in.
3. Experiment: Don’t be afraid to try new things. Volunteer, take up new hobbies, or start side projects. These experiences can provide insights into what truly resonates with you.
4. Listen to Your Inner Voice: Trust your intuition. Pay attention to moments when you feel a sense of fulfilment and joy. Your purpose is often aligned with these feelings.

The Power of Imagination

The statement "Imagination is the key to innovation" holds profound truth. Imagination allows us to envision possibilities beyond our current reality. It is the birthplace of creativity and the catalyst for innovation. By tapping into our imagination, we can:

• Solve Problems: Creative thinking helps us approach challenges from new angles, leading to innovative solutions.
• Set Ambitious Goals: Visualising our ideal future motivates us to set and pursue ambitious goals.
• Transform Our Reality: Imagination empowers us to see the potential for change and take the necessary steps to make it happen.

Embracing Our Humanity

In our previous blog, we explored the concept of 'Human Being vs. Being Human.' To 'enjoy being human' is to appreciate the present moment, embrace our uniqueness, and find joy in the simple aspects of life. This mindset shift can transform how we view our existence, turning everyday experiences into opportunities for growth and fulfilment.

Influencing Others

To guide others in developing this mindset, consider the following approaches:

1. Lead by Example: Embody the values and mindset you wish to impart. When others see you embracing your humanity and finding joy in everyday life, they’ll be inspired to do the same.
2. Share Stories: Use storytelling to convey the importance of living in the moment and appreciating life's simple pleasures. Personal anecdotes can be powerful tools for illustrating these concepts.
3. Encourage Self-Discovery: Promote self-reflection and self-awareness in those around you. Encourage them to explore their passions and interests.
4. Provide Support: Create a supportive environment where people feel safe to express themselves and pursue their goals. Offer encouragement and celebrate their successes.

The Importance of Clarity, Dedication, and Effort

H. L. Hunt once said, "Decide what you want, decide what you are willing to exchange for it. Establish your priorities and go to work." This quote emphasises the importance of clarity, dedication, and effort in achieving our dreams. To 'enjoy being human' is to embrace this philosophy and realise that we are the creators of our own lives.

The Rule of 100

The rule of 100 states that if you spend 100 hours in a year, which is 18 minutes a day, in any discipline, you will be better than 95% of the world in that discipline. This principle underscores the power of consistent effort. By dedicating just a small portion of our day to focused practice, we can achieve significant progress over time.

Making the Best of Our Time

To consistently focus on what we want and not on the things we don't want, we need to develop strategies for controlling our mind:

1. Set Clear Goals: Define what you want to achieve and break it down into actionable steps. Clear goals provide direction and motivation.
2. Practice Mindfulness: Stay present and focused on the task at hand. Mindfulness helps us manage distractions and maintain concentration.
3. Use Affirmations: Positive affirmations reinforce our goals and desires. Repeating affirmations daily can help shift our mindset towards what we want to achieve.
4. Visualise Success: Spend a few minutes each day visualising your goals as already achieved. This mental rehearsal strengthens your commitment and belief in your ability to succeed.
5. Prioritise Your Time: Allocate specific times for focused work on your goals. Avoid multitasking and dedicate uninterrupted time to your most important tasks.
6. Reflect and Adjust: Regularly review your progress and adjust your strategies as needed. Reflection helps you stay on track and make necessary improvements.

A Sense of Direction with a Purpose

As you embark on the journey to improve the quality of your life, remember that clarity, dedication, and effort are your allies. Embrace your humanity, harness the power of your imagination, and stay focused on your goals. By doing so, you will not only discover your purpose but also inspire others to do the same.

Each morning, remind yourself of the unique opportunity each day presents. As H. L. Hunt advised, decide what you want, determine what you are willing to exchange for it, establish your priorities, and go to work. By dedicating consistent effort and maintaining a positive mindset, you will transform your dreams into reality and truly enjoy being human.
