WHAT DO WANT IN YOUR LIFE? Check out the CLUES OF PURPOSE & PASSION that LEAD YOU to YOUR RIGHT DIRECTION!

This is a continuation of my previous post here.

I attended Merry Riana's 1-day 'I am Woman' workshop, so the previous post was more about women and for women.

But I feel that there are some very important and useful knowledge that I learnt and want to share with everyone!
Below are the knowledge that I learnt and want to share them with more people and help more people discover about themselves.

WHAT DO WANT IN YOUR LIFE? 
Is this what you are saying to yourself, "I don't know what I want in my life. Life is so meaningless."

These are the CLUES OF PURPOSE AND PASSION!
- Your Secret Fantasy of your Wish and Desires in your Life
- Jealous & Envy (it may not be a bad thing. Whatever that you may envy, it makes you feel that it is something that you want.)
- Bodily Symptoms (for example, when you which a cooking show, you just get so fired up and excited. Your body may unconsciously be telling you that it may be something that you want.)
- Crisis
- Recurring Dreams, Vision
- Talents & Strengths
- Play of a Child (What did you like to play or do when you were a child? Do you like to sing?)

There you have it, these are the CLUES that help you DISCOVER PURPOSE AND PASSION.

KNOWING YOUR PASSION & PURPOSE gives you the DIRECTION. Your Passion and Purpose tells you where your DESTINATION is, thus you know whether you are heading in the RIGHT DIRECTION.

Moving in the Right Direction, makes you feel that you are living in a Meaningful life, knowing that you are on your way to your Destination.

Merry Riana spoke of her 2 SECRET FORMULAS to SUCCESS:
#1 - Finding the RIGHT DIRECTION
#2 - Finding the RIGHT STRATEGIES

So what do you mean by RIGHT DIRECTION?
Merry Riana (MR): Why do go to work? Why do you want to look good? For what?
People always ask,"How can I be successful?"
But do you know what you want in the first place, what is your passion or purpose in life?

MR gave an analogy to represent Direction.
Imagine that you are in City Hall MRT, you ask the MRT staff,"which train should I take?" 
What do you think the staff will say?
"WHERE DO YOU WANT TO GO?"

Most people don't know their direction and don't know what they want. 
So what do most people do?
They tend to take the first train that arrives, that eventually leads them to nowhere! Because they don't even know where they want to go in the first place!

Merry Riana shared about her 1 Big Secret to her Success:
"Because I Dare to Dream BIG!"
You can download her Free Ebook, Dare To Dream BIG!, in her website http://www.merryriana.com/

Now, when you are doing what you are not passionate about, you will feel these Symptoms of Disconnectedness from your Inner Self.
So what are these symptoms that make you feel that you are in the wrong place and feeling that you are heading in the wrong direction? 
Here they are:

Symptoms of Disconnectedness from your Inner Self
- Not knowing what to do - Frozen or Stuck
- Emotional Pain/Turmoil - Depression
- Exhaustion
- Can't sleep at night
- Addictions
- Recurring Problems or Failures

When you feel disconnected, you need to STOP what you are doing so routinely, and start asking yourself questions to discover more about yourself and recap back through the Clues of Purpose and Passion.

CLUES OF PURPOSE AND PASSION
- Your Secret Fantasy of your Wish and Desires in your Life
- Jealous & Envy
- Bodily Symptoms
- Crisis
- Recurring Dreams, Vision
- Talents & Strengths
- Play of a Child

 LEARN TO LIVE YOUR BEST LIFE!

Currently, while you are living your Life, Are you feeling LOST, BURN-OUT or FRUSTRATED?
Or are you already Living The Life That You Want? The Extraordinary Life?
There are 4 different types of people.


RIGHT DIRECTION
WRONG DIRECTION
RIGHT STRATEGY
EXTRAORDINARY
BURN-OUT
WRONG STRATEGY
FRUSTRATED
LOST
An example of being LOST - Earning poorly and also find no meaning, passion or purpose in your work.
An example of being BURN-OUT - Earning very well but find no meaning, passion or purpose in your work.
An example of being FRUSTRATED - Doing what you love or like, but not earning the wealth you desire.

An example of being EXTRAORDINARY - Doing what you love or like, and earning the wealth you desire.


A REAL STORY of BURN-OUT to EXTRAORDINARY
There was this person who took a Finance Degree and working in a bank, but finds life meaningless. But after watching a show on cooking, she felt those bodily symptoms of excitement. She finally realized that cooking was what she wanted to do. Eventually she went on to take a degree in cooking, and went from being a great cake baker and cake designer.
She was so good in her artistic cake work that she was invited to be on cooking shows. Although she is not earning the kind of money that she had previously, she now feels life is meaningful and that she is living the kind of life that she loves and enjoys doing.

Merry Riana: "I am where I am right now, is because I Dare To Dream BIG!"
"Dare To Dream BIG!"
"I live my everything." (Meaning that you don't need to think about choosing between Career or Family. You can have BOTH, when you do your good planning and organising of certain activities.)

I will be LIVING MY EVERYTHING! Will You?
