The Year of Living Purposefully - A is for Animus [Part 2] How to Make Purpose and Intention Real in Your Life... I think one of the greatest tragedies of our age is the fact that hundreds of millions of people have been lulled into living their lives devoid of purpose and intention. It is interesting that the antonym for the word intention is discouragement. There is a very good reason for this... It is because you born with the seeds of greatness within you. Sadly, over time, as a result of your education and the choices you have made, you have allowed the world around you [along with the opinions and restrictions of others] to squeeze you into its own mold. 7 Things That Are Stopping You From Reaching Your Destiny 1. What You Watch. I might upset some people here, but if you watch 5 hours of mindless reality TV a night you will never think great thoughts. Television is one of the most powerful tools in the world for the ‘Dumbing Down’ of the masses. 2. What You Read. If you can read and you don’t, shame on you! You need to be constantly filling your mind with inspiring words, ideas and thoughts. 3. What You Hear. Garbage in - garbage out. 4. Your Self Talk. Most people are defeated in life one inch below their nose. You absolutely, definitely, positively need to get Noah 5. Your Choices. A lot of people reading these words need to quit blaming everything on your parents, your spouse, your marriage, your divorce, your boss, the government, your childhood, your weight, your education, the economy and 101 other things and start to take responsibility for your life. 6. Your Friends. I remember years ago going to a BBQ and listening to a guy rant and rave about how much he hated, loathed and despised his boss and how he “Only lived for the Weekends” and how much he deeply resented the fact that his wage was so low. I stood it for as long as I could and then asked if I could suggest something? “Sure” he replied. “If you hate your stinking job and your boss and your low wage so much…why don’t you do something about it? like start a business and be your own boss… or go to night school and train for a better job?” “Why waste your life doing something you obviously hate so much?” Sounds reasonable right? Anyone would think I had suggested he “Go mug a granny” I realized that day how differently I thought to many of the people in the room. Please understand, I am not saying that as an entrepreneur, you should not be friends with people who have an ‘Employee’ mindset. But I am saying the more you start to live a life of purpose and intention, the less you will have in common with others who don’t. 7. Your Actions. Intention alone isn’t enough. You need to back up your intentions with actions. So How do You Make Purpose and Intention a Reality in Your Life? First, you need to understand that, in life, people do one of three things: They Lay Blame: I am this way because of my upbringing/lack of opportunity etc. They Justify: Yes, I know I have a foul temper/eat like a pig etc. But is is my parents fault. They Take Responsibility: I take full responsibility for my choices and actions! Next, I suggest that you get Noah St Johns Audio Afformations. They will hand you a whole new way of thinking about life and asking questions. This is absolutely crucial because Questions are the answers! [Continued in Part 3]
