FIND WHAT YOU LOVE! (AND DO MORE OF IT) by Dr. Kate Siner L iving your purpose is the key to your fulfillment. When you embrace your life purpose, you commit your effort to what you’re best able to do. And this has infinite positive outcomes. Living your life purpose blossoms a sense of wellness throughout your entire life. You experience true harmony because you’re not emotionally invested in any particular outcome and so you’re better able to make lemonade when life gives you lemons. Each and every one of us wrestles with a nagging sense of un-fulfillment until we understand that it’s in our power to create our happiness and to live our passion. For example, if I believe my actions and interactions make no impact, then I’ll have a negative perception of my life inside and outside of my workplace. If I perceive myself as a victim in all circumstances, as though the world sets me up to knock me down, I will shy away from circumstances that might prove my belief otherwise. Instead, I’ll likely create situations that prove I’m at the world’s mercy. This perspective will leave me blaming others, feeling resentful, and stuck. On the other hand, if I believe that my actions have the potential to make a positive impact, then I’ll feel more positive about my life, more excited by my choices, and ultimately, more fulfilled and satisfied. Moreover, if I see a situation that is dangerous, negative, or hurtful, I’ll feel it’s possible for me to take action towards a positive outcome. This creates a virtuous cycle. Over time, I’ll see the net effect of my positive actions and will likely f ind it easier to face challenging circumstances in a positive way. This makes a profound difference in my life and the lives of others. eydismedia.com 71
