Becoming the Best Version of You: Discovering Your Purpose


Of course you want this year to be better than last year, so why continue to waste your precious time sitting on your God given talent(s)? Go discover your purpose in the world and the woman that you were called to be.

If you’re unsure what talent(s) you may possess in order to fulfill your purpose, start with asking yourself: what is it I enjoy doing? What could I do and not be paid for it? What do others say I do well? Maybe your talents are not tangible; consider being a service to others. Do your family and friends resort to you for advice? Do you enjoy helping others?

If you need help discovering some of your strengths, you may want to consider taking a personality or career assessment. Try CareerPath by CareerBuilder http://www.careerpath.com/, a site that provides free career assessments and advice that may help you with discovering some of your talents.  After gathering the results from your assessment, start researching careers that would emphasize your talent(s). You may want to consider going back to school or starting your own business.

Discovering your purpose will not happen overnight, but you can start setting short term goals throughout the year that will lead to meeting your long term goal. Stop making excuses such as, “I am too busy,” “I don’t have enough time,” or “I don’t have the money.” As long as you have breath in your body, you still have access to all the resources you need to make things happen. So start today, by making a phone call or doing research that will get you closer to your ultimate, divine purpose in becoming the best version of you.

Xoxo,

Jay
