Personal Success – Everyone Was Created To Do Something

I think when you realize that you were created to do something your life begins to take shape.  You realize you’re not on this earth to just sit around in a cubicle or work for a company.  You realize that there’s something inside of you and you begin searching for what that is.  When you begin the search you don’t really know what you’re looking for so you start anything you can.  That is OK, trying different things and failing helps you to realize what you’re not supposed to do.

Think about this for a minute.  The modern job has only been around for 150 years.  No one worked in an office complex or a factory for 5000 years, now almost everyone does.  Everyone had a home office, you lived and worked in the same place.  But now our image of work is so screwed up that we believe money is the reason we work.  Money should never be the reason you work. Yes you need money to survive but you need a lot less money than you think you do.  So wouldn’t it be better to do what you were created to do and live a happy life than to work for money and live a miserable half-filled life.

I don’t know what you were created to do; maybe were created to be a great mom or dad, maybe you were created to start a restaurant, maybe you were created to paint a great painting (there are a lot of lousy paintings around so somebody needs to paint a good one).  Whatever it is you were created to do, start with a step.  I’m not telling you to quit your job, I’m not telling you to leave your family. I’m telling you to take a step and find out what it is you were created to do.

Here’s the hard question I ask on the coaching survey, “If you died tomorrow how would people remember you?”
