Finding Your Purpose

Yesterday I went to the studio of Cavendish Films to be interviewed as a guest expert on their next DVD entitled Finding Your Purpose.  How exciting is that?  It was a fabulous day, talking about all things personal development related.  The great thing about working in personal development is that you never stop learning about yourself and I stumbled across a great concept for my first workshop, why o why I hadn’t thought about it before I will never know. 

Anyway, I digress.  One of the main reasons people contact me to be coached is because they’re not sure of their purpose in life and need to explore their future options.  Finding your purpose is sometimes a task that is thrust on you by an unexpected event such as a break down of a relationship or redundancy, sometimes it’s a niggling feeling that starts as a tiny rumble in the pit of your stomach then grows into an all consuming feeling that needs to be addressed.  Either way it’s really important to find your purpose in life because if you don’t you can bet your bottom dollar somebody else will find a purpose for you. 

I’m going to break the subject of finding your purpose down into a number of blogs because it’s a hugely important thing to do and I try to keep my ramblings brief because I’m aware of how time starved you are.  And I’m also going to plug the DVD in every blog I write in this series as a thank you for Cavendish films and their 60 minute solution DVD’s for allowing me to pinch their new film title (not that I’ve asked, I like to live on the premise that it’s easier to ask forgiveness than it is to obtain permission unless by doing so you’ll land yourself in court). 

This is how this series will look;

·         Finding Your Purpose – Values

·         Finding Your Purpose – Beliefs

·         Finding Your Purpose – Dreams

·         Finding Your Purpose – Your Skills

·         Finding Your Purpose -  Action
