LifeFusion- Life On Purpose

"LIFE'S JOURNEY is not to arrive at the grave safely, in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "Holy Crap" what a ride!" - Mavis Leyrer age 83

What Is It Going To Take?

How do you discover you purpose? It isn’t that difficult. It has to do with what excites you, with what you are passionate about. What would make you wake up in the morning with so much drive, so much passion and so much energy you just couldn’t wait to experience all the day has before you?
THAT is your purpose, at least part of it.
What are you passionate about, what really drives you? Your destiny will be a part of the dreams and desires that are in your heart. Your destiny is a part of your very nature, your DNA, this is one of the main reasons that we are so miserable when we are not living according to our destiny, or moving in the direction of fulfilling our purpose.
Your very being is out of balance unless you are “living on purpose!”
Your purpose will involve something you enjoy and are gifted in. You are “hard wired” to live in that purpose.

What would make you wake up in the morning with so much drive, so much passion and so much energy you just couldn’t wait to experience all the day has before you?

For example: If you enjoy the outdoors, your purpose will probably be connected to something that has to do with nature, animals, being a guide, park ranger or the like; if you love and are good with children, your purpose will have something to do with teaching, care taker, pediatric nurse or physician; or if you have a servants heart, and you are caring and compassionate your purpose may include being a nurse, a Doctor a fireman, policeman a social worker or counselor or something where your desires and your strengths can be utilized and fulfilled.
It has been proven over and over again that when you live your life according to your passions, hopes and dreams, and take advantage of your innate strengths that you will exude with energy, enthusiasm and passion.

I remember growing up I always loved to build stuff. I would spend hours building model airplanes, ships, cars, and stick bridges. I would use my toy construction equipment to build play towns and highways. Running my hot wheels into each other and jumping impossible spans of unfinished bridges Now I am a real estate developer, I love to see things under construction. I love to be a part of the transformation from what was - to what is. From a empty field, to a community where people raise their families, play football in the front yard and play in the parks we build. I love to drive the developments weve built and see a father, playing catch in the front yard with his son, or a mother chasing her little girl around one of the many trees that we plant while they both giggle and fall to the ground in laughter; all the while I am reminded, that none of that was even there a few short years ago.
It is no stretch that I love to see lives transformed as well; from mundane to magnificent, from mere existence to excellence, from improbable to purposeful.
(oh and by the way we now finish the real bridges, unlike when I played with my toys.)


I had one particular life coaching client that was a very successful executive,
a COO of a huge company, who during one of our life strategy sessions told me
“Tracy, I want to give you a bit of advice and I would like you to share with
everyone you think you need too”- I said sure what is it? He said tell them
“don’t spend an entire career becoming world class in something you hate, you will be forced to do it the rest of your life”.
How sad. He has become so successful and affluent that his money (and his perceived need to maintain that lifestyle) has trapped him in a life he hates! This proves that money simply does not solve all your problems. Infact, my experience with the clinetele I have served with a lot of disposable money is that money only magnifies the pain.
But I am here to tell you that you are not forced to do something you don’t like the remainder of your life, in fact I am begging you to not do that.

Don’t spend 30 years doing something you don’t like. Don’t spend an
entire life, YOUR entire life, like that.

If your not fulfilled it may be because you are not fulfilling your destiny. Are you tapping into that power inside of you screaming and scratching to get out. Operate in a realm where you are passionate.

Why are you here on earth? There is a reason...
What is it going to take
for you to seize this
moment?
