Do You Know What Your Mission In Life Is?
I remember reading a book that asked this question and I thought “No, do I have a mission in life?” 🙄 I asked my husband if he knew what his mission in life was and he said “Yes”! I was shocked that he knew what his was without even thinking. I asked him what it was and he said very emphatically, “to make you happy”. Wow! 😯 He was so sure and serious about this complicated question. I was flattered however, it was obvious that I didn’t know what my mission in life was…
Looking Within
I had started my personal development program and was reading or listening to books everyday. I pondered on this question over and over “Why am I here? What is my purpose in life?”. I knew it was more than being a wife and mother, and I had already quit my job to do my home based business full time, however, I didn’t think it was my purpose in life…or was it? 🙄
Mind, Body, & Soul
As I continued my personal growth plan, I realized that most of my life, I was focused on my body or the “physical” challenges I faced from being overweight. My thoughts were obsessed with my body and food. A lot of us occupy our thoughts with challenges regarding our “body”. Then the next thing which usually occupies our thoughts is our “mind”. We may be thinking about our job or career, or money, therefore, most of our life, we are “stuck” in thoughts about the “body” (physical) or the “mind” (ego). We rarely take time to think about our “soul” and this is where we will discover our mission in life.
As I conquered my body and my mind, I pondered a lot about my soul and about my soul’s purpose in life. As I invested more time studying and taking time to be “quiet” (eliminate mind chatter), I started to feel my soul’s purpose emerging. Over time, I discovered exactly what my mission in life is.
Here’s a video where I explain this concept:
Steps To Take To Discover Your Mission
1) Start taking “quiet” time sessions in the morning and in the night. We can meditate or just take time alone while quieting our mind.
2) Start doing the mirror exercise to make us aware of our “mind chatter”, so we can quiet it down.
3) Once we quiet our mind, start to “listen” and “pay attention” to times we are very passionate about what we are doing.
4) Ask ourselves, what do we love to do if money wasn’t an issue.
5) If the answer to #4 is very different from what we do in our career, we will start to feel a “calling” to do something else which resonates with our passion.
6) When we are doing what we love to do, we are naturally full of energy and excitement. We love it and we can do it 24 hours/day, 7 days/wk.
7) We will discover a happiness and fulfillment each and every day…we have found our mission and purpose in life. 😆

Aloha Kellie, great post as usual. Gosh you know I enjoy a lot creating and learning online strategies and I can spend hours at it and I do get a spark when I am sharing it with others. I know I have a purpose in life as well as many others. And the great thing is we all are unique at what our purpose is and the presentation of our personality in how we are able to share it.
I came across different MLM companies and they closed and I figure well it’s not for me, so I went back to work. Then I strongly was attracted to online marketing and till now I enjoy it and the only way I think it’ll shut down on me if all the services shut down.. Lol But there is always some kind of way to create a business online for us. Glad I came by and keep it going. Mahalo, Lani 🙂
PS..It’s a blessing to see that you love what you do and you radiate excitement when you share your stories in your videos.

Awww, thank you for your sweet comments! I really appreciate you. 🙂 I am so glad you enjoyed our post and our video! I can see you are passionate about what you do…and you’ll find it! I really didn’t know this would be my mission until I really started to help others and “fell in love” with that part of my business! I always look forward to your posts too! Much love 🙂

Kellie,
Took quite a few years before I even realized I had the ability to go after my inner purpose. I call those the years of learning cause every experience lead me step by step to the place where I was ready to discover that purpose.
One should never discount the power and importance of living your inner dream. Life is so much richer and fuller since that became a reality for me. It was always there, waiting for me to step into it.
Great steps on how to discover it. You’ve made it easy for those who are still searching.

Excellent tips here Kellie. Take at least 10 to 20 minutes each morning and night to quiet your mind. Observe. The self-sabotaging thoughts will arise.
“I don’t have time for this meditation stuff. I need to get back to work This is boring.”
Blah blah blah the ego goes. Eventually, the chatter subsides and your higher self is allowed out 😉
Thanks for sharing your insight Kellie!

Hi Kellie, when you love what you do, we may be tired but still filled with excitement and passion. At the end of the day, that is what will drive us. I love to teach and even on days when I am tired, it is so fulfilling that when I am actually teaching, it energizes me again! From my teaching experience, I discovered I could help people further by coaching and have just completed my coach training program. I am excited about this new journey and have already know how wonderful it is to partner people through the positive changes in their lives. At this time, it’s hard for me to think about doing something I am not passionate about.

Great Diana! I am glad you found something you are passionate about too! Coaching is great and I am glad you are going to assist people to become an entrepreneur and independent! The legacy of assisting people to become independent and have freedom is an incredible “high”! Congratulations! Aloha 🙂

Thanks for sharing this great post.
All the best,
Hameed
