Who Are You?

Welcome back, it’s awesome to have you visit.

Firstly, I’d like to thank everybody for their e-mails. Our inbox has been growing with great stories and queries. Please, if you’d like to make a suggestion or ask a question, we would love to receive your input. We will respond to your e-mail and discuss great topics in our “Thought of the Day”!

Today’s thought is a short, sharp and shiny one.

What is the goal for your life? Where are you heading? Hopefully you are not standing still; and if you are moving, what direction are you moving, what is the target?

In counselling, one of the most common reasons people feel they are stuck or just seem to be in a “holding pattern” is because they are! They have placed themselves in a no win situation because they don’t know where they want to be!

We had a client a while back who was having big problems finding employment. They looked on the web sites, they looked in the paper and was just not achieving anything. The first question I asked was “What is your dream job?” and guess what… they couldn’t tell me! I followed up by asking “OK then, where would you like to be in ten years?” and their eyes glazed over and eventually they just shrugged.

One of the keys to being happy is knowing what you want. If you have a direction, a plan, a goal… knowing that you are moving in that direction provides a sense of achievement and satisfaction – happiness.

Successful businesses have a Mission Statement. It keeps management focused on why they are there and staff know the direction the company is heading. All the eyes are pointing at the same target.

What is your mission? Why are you here? What will you be doing in 10 years time that will be making you happy?

Answer these questions and create a Mission Statement for your life. It is empowering and you will find a new sense of direction and purpose in everything you do.

Have an awesome, purposeful day and
Live your Ultimate Life.
