Today I wanted to share an insight that I heard from one of my instructors a while back. He was talking to a bunch of us and asked how many of us had our goals written out for next year. Since we were all small business owners and dedicated planners… we ALL raised our hands.
He then asked us how many of us had a written purpose statement. One woman asked if her company mission statement counted… and he said no. He said that in most cases a company mission or even vision statement wouldn’t be the same. He was referring to a PERSONAL purpose statement.
Do you know what YOUR purpose is? Have you written it down and do you read / say it daily? If not, take the next day or two and define your purpose!
You see, goals aren’t good enough. Why? Because they’re attainable results. Once achieved, most goals don’t have the energy behind them to wake you up in the morning… to push you further even when you’re at your worst.
A PURPOSE on the other hand does have the power to drive you! It will INSPIRE you to keep moving in a certain direction… to take action when the human flaws of laziness, fatigue and/or frustration kick in.
Another speaker I heard stated that motivation comes from the outside yet purpose comes from within. Once you know your true purpose in life… you may never need to be motivated again.
Have a great weekend!
