Three Key Points:
Part of our purpose is a combination of our gifts and talents. When we spend the time to find that unique combination, we look at what we’re really good at and what we really enjoy doing. Once you intersect what you’re good at with what you enjoy, it’s easy to step into living your purpose.
Change is crucial and many times we’re scared of change. Just because it seems like you’re blessed today, doesn’t mean it’ll stay like that tomorrow. We need to be open to accepting change in our lives if we’re truly serious about living a fulfilled life of passion and purpose.
Do everything you can do to express your passion to the world. If we’re serious about changing the world for good, then we need to listen to our inner voices. All of the answers are already there, and self-discovery will help you discover them.
