Do you know your purpose? Do you know what you are called to do? Having clarity of purpose is 75% of what you need to achieve success. Having clarity exponentially increases your chances of succeeding in anything you do. Without it, you are setting yourself up for failure and disappointment.
"I have been working very hard and yet nothing seems to be working!!"
Does this sound like you? Do you know your purpose in life? Do you know what you want? Have you taken time to think about what you are meant to do? If you have not, then this post is specifically for you. Read on to get the clarity you need to reach that goal and perhaps personal fulfillment that has long eluded you.
"Getting clarity is the most important step in everything we do. Without clarity, we get distracted and pursue every shiny object that comes our way, leading to discouragement and feeling of failure when our expectations are not met."
What is Clarity?
Clarity is knowing what you want and why you want it. To get clarity, you need to know what you are called to do, your purpose in life and who you are meant to be. Getting clarity is the most important step in everything we do. Without clarity, we get distracted and pursue every shiny object that comes our way, leading to discouragement and feeling of failure when our expectations are not met.
Lack of clarity is the reason people chase after other people's dreams instead of their own dream. How many times have you been promised a BLUEPRINT of how to be successful at what someone else is doing? Did it yield your expected results? Maybe it worked for the first few months and you just could not keep up or you lost interest. Something must be wrong. You skipped a very important step!
Here are the facts:
You do not need anyone to convince you to become an Amazon seller, or a life coach or anything else for that matter.
You do not want to invest your time and money on things you have no business doing, just because it worked for someone else.
You do not want to be stuck trying to live out someone else’s dream.
No matter how many BLUEPRINTS or TEMPLATES you are given, you will not be successful in it unless it is your calling.
You are in the driver's seat of setting and pursuing your own dream.
You give yourself a better chance at succeeding when it is your own dream.
How to get clarity
Getting clarity is a process. It takes some work, but it is well worth it!
No one else can do this work for you because you are the best person to do it. It is your life, no one else knows you better than you, unless you are lying to yourself. If you commit to self-truth, you will lay a solid foundation for building your desired business, career and lifestyle.
