What is your purpose?
Have you ever thought about why you are here?
For as long as I can remember I have wanted to know why I was
here. I now know why I am supposed to be here.
This is my story. I worked in Advertising for over 20 years. I
have run my own companies and partnerships, freelanced for many
agencies and for the greater part of it, enjoyed what I was doing.
But it never really gave me true passion or sustained joy. Then
around 5 years ago something came through my door. At the time I
was working in Central London as a Creative Director for an
agency, and commuting 3 hours a day on a motorbike in all
weathers. I was tired and fed up, I knew something had to change
and I had to do something else with my life. This wasn't the
reason for me being here. Then one day I came home and my wife
handed me a mailer that had come through the door. It was nothing
special, just telling us about a company that could save us money
on our phone calls. We discussed it and knew that we needed to
save some money, so we called the number and asked the man to come
round and tell us more about it. This man was called Aaron
Cornwell. After Aaron told us about the business, I asked him how
he got involved in it. He explained and asked me if I would like
to join and make some extra money. I was intrigued and very
interested. I decided to take him up on his offer. Now this isn't
the end of the story, this new opportunity was merely a
stepping-stone. From joining the company and becoming a very good
friend of Aaron's. He introduced me to the likes of Anthony
Robbins, Jerry Clarke and Jim Rohn.
We both then went to see Anthony Robbins live in London and from
there it all changed my life. Something had gone off inside me. A
seed had been sown, a fire had been lit. I now felt I was on a
path and about to discover my reason.
I was excited and fired up about what was going to happen, at the
same time my marriage was coming to an end. It knocked me for six
and took me some years for me to come to terms with it. But all
the time I was going through the pain of the divorce I knew that
what I was doing was important by being on this path. If I had
stayed in an unhappy marriage I truly believe I would not be doing
what I am today. There is a reason for everything in life. Life is
like an ocean, you get choppy seas and you get calm seas. If you
know where you're heading you can keep your boat on course
whatever the weather. Even when you're blown off course, you can
find your way back. So I believe we all have a purpose in life.
Form some people it is to be a great athlete, an amazing teacher,
a wonderful parent, nurse, doctor or just to make people happy.
Whatever the reason is, I truly believe we are all here for
something. Nothing is accidental! The key to finding out what your
purpose is is to keep searching. Keep looking and sooner or later
it will appear and you will know that it is right.
Another part to my story is from my childhood where I suffered
abuse and my parents divorced when I was very young. No family is
normal nowadays and I am not one to blame my past.
I believe the troubles that were a part of my childhood all helped
mould me into who I am today. I got strength from what happened
and after many years discovering myself, I learnt a great deal
about who I am and what I can do.
The human spirit and mind has always fascinated me and I wanted to
learn more. From years of study and practice this is what I am
today. A coach, a life advisor or a mentor if you wish.
My main point is that I never stopped looking to find out what I
was meant to be doing. And as I said before when you find it, you
will know. Just as I did. It feels so right when you discover your
path. It'it is a feeling that will come from your heart not your
head.
My advice to you my friend, is to know that you do have a purpose.
You my friend are amazing. You have something in you that is your
reason for being here. Believe in yourself. Every cell in your
body (all 76 trillion of them) is busy making you, who you are.
Use your energy and immense power in a way that can help.
Life is a journey so why don't you make it the best journey you
possibly can. Read books; listen to speakers, seek out knowledge
and like a jigsaw piece it will eventually fall into place. It's
not always easy. But what is? Is it not true that something
worthwhile is worth some effort?
As the late great motorcycle racer Barry Sheena once said "Don't
wait for your ship to come in, swim out and meet the bloody
thing!" Absolutely I say. Does it not say in the bible. Seek and
ye shall find? Not sit on the sofa and wait for it to knock on
your door.
I recently went to a fantastic talk by a great man called Keith
Cunningham. In Keith's seminar he said he would like his dieing
words to be "wow what a ride!"!" My question to you is what are
your dieing words going to be? "I wish I had or I'm glad I did?
If you have found what your purpose is then I'm delighted and
enjoy the journey. If you are reading this and it has got you
thinking then I welcome you to an amazing trip you are about to
start. My advice before you start is this. There are only 2 ways
to fail and that is to not start and the second is to stop or give
up.
Go, go, go. Every new day is another adventure. It sounds cliché
and the kind of thing that can be found on motivational posters
but so be it. For some people that helps kick them out of bed.
Find your purpose, find your passion. Passion is your fuel and
that fuel will make you get up early and got to bed late.
