- 0:20Favorite happy places her chicken coop, along with all her
- 0:23chickens. Hey everybody.
- 0:29Good morning from the Porch, I know you're not used to me
- 0:32saying that it's always the chicken coop, but it is very
- 0:36dark right now and raining really hard.
- 0:40So, there's no way I'm going to get out there on time before I
- 0:44actually start coaching today. So, I thought, you know what,
- 0:47I'm going to shoot it from the porch, to make sure I can get
- 0:50out there. You can hear the rooster off in
- 0:52the distance, but it's definitely from the porch this
- 0:56morning. So, today I want to talk to you
- 1:00about Back that purpose is not always clear in our life.
- 1:05So it's a big thing in the world of self development coaching to
- 1:09talk about, you know, what's my purpose?
- 1:12I want to be on purpose and we seek it out.
- 1:16We talked about it, we want to feel fulfilled and sometimes
- 1:20that need to feel fulfilled, drives us insane because we hear
- 1:27what everybody else. Is telling us, we should be
- 1:30feeling. You know, you should know we be
- 1:31on purpose, you know, work for your purpose.
- 1:34If you, if you are feeling, if you're doing what you love,
- 1:37you'll feel fulfilled your whole life, and you'll never have to
- 1:40feel like you're, you know, you're off.
- 1:42Well, quite frankly, a lot of that is bullshit, you'll still
- 1:45feel off. You'll still feel like you
- 1:47question things. You know why?
- 1:49Because you're human and that's what happens to us in our quest
- 1:53to always be growing, which we really can't help.
- 1:56That's part of how we are wired to just want to grow all the
- 2:00time. So it pushes us to go out and
- 2:05listen to what other people have to tell us.
- 2:08Well, here's the interesting part of this, when you're
- 2:10seeking that you better, make sure you understand where it's
- 2:13coming from because a lot of people will push you in
- 2:16directions that might not necessarily be true.
- 2:19It might be where they are at that point in time and it's true
- 2:22for them. But it might not be what's true
- 2:25for you. So you have to always take it
- 2:28with a grain of salt. That's why I often say.
- 2:30Say in what I do with everybody, listen, I'm here to help you
- 2:34have other thoughts, other perspectives.
- 2:36But ultimately you choose what's right for you?
- 2:39You don't have to believe anything.
- 2:40I say. You can just get the information
- 2:43and make decisions for yourself. And I think that's the safer way
- 2:47for people to feel and understand that they're not
- 2:51wrong. I mean, you're not always wrong
- 2:54for how you feel. So when you're questioning your,
- 2:57you're very purpose in life. Give yourself the break, the
- 3:02grace and say, you know what, even if it's small and Tiny and
- 3:09I don't see it in this moment, it has to be here.
- 3:11You know why? I know that because I'm doing it
- 3:14and I'm always navigating towards something else towards
- 3:18my piece that might make me feel a little bit different and a
- 3:22little bit better and a little bit more, you know, on purpose,
- 3:25so to speak. So can you purpose be something
- 3:29small? Yes.
- 3:31Your purpose can be something small.
- 3:33Can your purpose be something huge?
- 3:34Yes, it can be. Can it be unknown to you
- 3:37sometimes? Yep.
- 3:39I'm one thousand percent certain that purpose isn't always clear
- 3:45to people because they're so close to it.
- 3:47They're like the fly up against the glass.
- 3:49They don't see that they're actually on purpose.
- 3:52So at a recent conversation with someone and She does something
- 3:58that is absolutely necessary in the world that I work in.
- 4:04She is absolutely without question.
- 4:06A major piece of the world that I work in and she didn't see her
- 4:13purpose. She was saying, I don't, you
- 4:16know, I'm replaceable. Well, we're all replaceable.
- 4:20We're all replaceable. That's the thing about human
- 4:23beings anything or anyone can be replaced Bubble.
- 4:27But that doesn't mean you're not on purpose.
- 4:29That just means that you haven't gotten it, clear in your head,
- 4:34how to view this piece of it. So after a conversation of quite
- 4:39some time, she was able to see the value in really what it is
- 4:44and and this is really what it comes down to viewing.
- 4:47Your value isn't always tied. So intrinsically to the purpose,
- 4:53you have value no matter what you're doing.
- 4:57You have value that you bring forward, even if you are.
- 5:01Let's just say let's do something and say you are a
- 5:04writer and you're writing a book and your book hasn't come out
- 5:08and you've been writing this book for years and you're
- 5:11frustrated that you've been writing the book for years and
- 5:14it's really driving you crazy. And you want to finish the book
- 5:18and during the day you go off and you do your day job where
- 5:22you trade time for money and you're still in your head.
- 5:25You want to be Fire. Okay, so would you sit there and
- 5:29say to yourself, you're not on purpose, just because the book
- 5:32is not finished? Well, yes, some people would do
- 5:34that, they'd be frustrated, they be aggravated which would cause
- 5:37them to slow down on the book but anything you do and pour
- 5:41into the book helps, you get closer to that Finish Line.
- 5:44It also doesn't mean that you are not on purpose, maybe that
- 5:50is the purpose. Maybe you're supposed to have
- 5:52the struggle. Maybe you're supposed to have
- 5:54that to feel like what it is. How amazing it feels to get
- 5:57through it and get on the other side of it.
- 5:59So being on purpose is incredibly important.
- 6:04So I'm going to challenge you to think about all this stuff
- 6:06today, go and focus your attention on really thinking
- 6:11about how much value that you see in what you're doing and
- 6:18realize that, you know what you're on purpose doesn't have
- 6:23to be tremendous, it can be small, you might be a person.
- 6:26And that's here just to go out and make everybody smile and
- 6:30laugh and God knows we all need that.
- 6:34I mean, it doesn't have to be something tremendous.
- 6:37It just has to be recognized and I am a true 1000% steadfast
- 6:45believer that we are all like a tapestry.
- 6:48And there are different pieces. Different parts, different
- 6:51puzzles to each and every one of us that we all bring to the
- 6:54table and we all Have purpose and we all know those purposes
- 7:00don't have to be tremendous, but we all know our purpose.
- 7:03We all know our purpose on some way shape or form.
- 7:06So, don't diminish it go out and just focus on finding that happy
- 7:13spot and put yourself into a great state today.
- 7:17And tomorrow, I will see you from the chicken coop because I
- 7:20know the rain will be stopped by then.
