Do you know who the most
important person in your life is? Just look in the mirror and you will see –
it’s you. Whether you’re a college student, a housewife, a salesman, or the
president of the United States of America, the most important person in your
life is and will always be you.
That being said, your
primary objective in life should be to know who you are so that you can
position yourself to succeed in offices aligned with your purpose. After all,
your purpose is the collective reasoning behind your existence. As one
philosopher puts it, “Purpose is the only real reason you are here, for you
exist because your purpose exists. Thus apart from purpose, you have no
authentic motivation for living. You may very well exist, but when you’re gone,
very few will ever know that you were here.”
Now for some of us
discovering our purpose is simple. We understood it long before we ever became
adults. For others it is not so easy, and for more reasons than I can gather.
This is why the process of personal discovery is so critical; for not only does
it allow you to discover your purpose. It also positions you to persistently
follow the evolution of your purpose.
This is important because we
are all changing every day. Consequently, our purpose will also change
contingent to the season of life we are in. Still, in spite of this inevitable
change and all the complexities which make understanding your purpose
difficult, you will always be able to detect your purpose simply because it is
the source of your fulfillment. So if you’re in a job, relationship, or any
office which is persistently unfulfilling, odds are it is not aligned with your
purpose – and unless you are willing to concede the awesome measures of
fulfillment you would experience otherwise, you need to start thinking about
making a change so that you can both enhance your life and have profound
impacts in the various groups and societies you are in.
“Unlocking the Mystery of
You” champions this cause focusing first and foremost on purpose and the
crucial role it plays in achieving personal fulfillment and setting the stage
for the individual to be a catalyst for group fulfillment. It accomplishes this
goal by utilizing a purposeful roadmap designated as the Pinnacle of Purpose.
The Pinnacle of Purpose is a progressive path illustrated by 7 ascending levels
which, if followed sequentially, not only have the power to transform your
life. It will provide you with the greatest measures of fulfillment and success
life can offer. All you have to do is follow the crucial, yet simple order of
purpose, beginning with confidence and concluding with peace.
So if you’re ready for a
change; if you’re ready to stop sleeping on your dreams and your truest
passions; if you’re tired of the status quo and living a life which feels
incomplete; if you’re tired of wishing your life was better and are now
prepared to do something about it; if you’re finally ready to take that
ever-difficult leap of faith, then this is a book you must read. Because in
this book I show you how to take that leap of faith without falling, for when
you leap towards your purpose, you will always land squarely on your feet.
This is true first and
foremost because your purpose is what makes you unique to every other individual
in the world today, a premise which thoroughly validates the existence of every
man and women on the earth. The problem is that many don’t understand their
purpose. Once upon a time I didn’t either. That is until I got serious about
life. It was then that I realized what purpose is.
It is the collection of all
your authentic desires; it is your passion. It is your North Star and your
direction; it is your life-long teacher – and above all else, it is that which
causes you to press through any form or measure of adversity until you unleash
your maximum potential, for it gives you the strength to hold on when you have
no strength left within you to hold on.
Book Excerpt:
THE ANSWER IS YOU
Do you know what the world’s greatest mystery is? No;
it’s not the Pyramids, Stonehenge, Area 51, or cafeteria meatloaf. The world’s
greatest mystery is you. That’s right –
you. Regardless of what anyone says or thinks, you are the world’s best kept
secret. The answer is you.
Now it is worth mentioning that you didn’t start out this
way. That is to say, you were not always a mystery. At birth you inherited a
clean slate which clearly identified your destiny in life. Twas a perfect blend
of dreams, desires, and purpose at the forefront of your soul all waiting to be
expressed.
Nevertheless, as straightforward as this progression is,
many of us will never see this evolutionary expression; for whether it is in
our own life or in the life of one of the many individuals we know, this
authentic manifestation of the soul will never transpire. Thus regardless of
the obvious nature of our destiny, many of us will never find it. Be it
disenchantment, chronic cynicism, or excess distractions, many diverse factors
will cause for our clear conduit to fulfillment to morph into a complex network
of conflicting purposes and broken paths. To put it quite plainly – in time things changed. They always do.
Certainly there is a great deal I could say regarding
this untimely change. Yet to sum it up in 2 words, I would simply state that
you changed; specifically when you began the figurative yet inaccurate process
of growing up.
Believe you me, growing up is not what it’s all cooked up
to be. Why not? Quite simply it’s because growing up has unfortunately relapsed
into a defective process in which many of us are actually growing away from our
destiny. This ill-fated departure transpires as we are adversely influenced by
family members, so-called friends, and the world at large.
It’s a tragic disappearing act to say the least; the end
results of which are always devastating, for the combination of these adverse
influences causes for our initial blend of dreams and purpose to be buried
beneath conflicting factors such as expectations, individuality, and control.
Inopportunely these opposing factors work to perpetuate immense personal
disillusionment; hence the great mystery of you.
Not convinced yet? How many times have you asked
yourself, “Why did I do that?” Or how many times have you looked back on a poor
decision you made and shook your head as you wondered, “What was I thinking?”
If you’re like me, you’ve asked these questions more
times than you can easily count. See our realities are sure. We only know
ourselves in part for a good portion of our early lives. Due to a steady
inundation of contradictory influences, we will find ourselves investing a
great deal of energy and time in sifting through a great many ambitions,
intentions, and the like.
The problem is many of these motivations are not in line
with our destiny. Consequently our decisions in life will be heavily influenced
by factors which do not reflect who we really are, factors which will fail to
transform us into the person we were originally designed to be.
Now you are not just a mystery. You are no longer you.
You, my friend, are an imposter. Many of us are or have been.
2 PATHS TO TAKE
Have I gotten your attention? If so, you are probably
asking yourself questions like “what should I do” and “where should I go from
here?” Classically there are only 2 paths to be taken at this juncture (which
in my estimation is the most crucial crossroad in life).
Now the first path is an unfruitful attempt to go through
life in the afore-described model of the self-impostor. Chances are you may
very well find your destiny in the end and after all. However, in the
off-chance this does occur, the path you take will be filled with missed
opportunities, meager levels of contentment, and several regrets.
Moreover, these several disappointments may cause you to
deviate from all worthwhile pursuits altogether and settle for an existence
void of self-actualization (self-actualization being the activation of your
full potential).
As for the second path, it is the good path. I know
because I’ve followed this path as well as others who I’ve personally mentored,
and yet others all over the world who are just like us. On this path you will
embark upon an internal quest to sift through your personal minutia to
differentiate your truest purposes in life from your secondary goals.
You will also address all those ambitions which you’ve
somehow acquired yet do not correspond to your destiny whatsoever. We generally
refer to these unfulfilling ends as “baggage” or “dead weight.” Customarily
they are some of the greatest deterrents to finding fulfillment. Hence they are
factors you must deal with in your quest and you will.
Not only these; but you must eventually overcome all
things to fulfill your destiny. All you have to do is follow the guidelines
associated with the Pinnacle of Purpose, a combination of 7 unique steps which
will not only unlock the “mystery of you.” In dedicated fashion, the 7 levels
of purpose will progressively transform you into the person you were originally
destined to be from your beginning.
