Are You Here To Be A Teacher? 243If you could give advice to those who are still searching for their
life’s purpose, what would it be?
The first thing I would recommend is to create a vision for your life.
Many times the words “mission” and “vision” get interchanged, so I’ll
define my definition of vision. For me a vision is a dream that never
ends. In other words, even as we’re speaking babies are being born left
and right, so my job will never really end. There will always be people
for me to help be the best human beings they can be.
Second, find something you’re passionate about. Find in your
life that one thing that you love. Then do it. Look for an edge. What way
can you do the thing you love to do, in a way that others aren’t doing it.
These two pieces will work in tandem for every female I’ve come
in contact with, but for guys it seems to be mushy, so they need a little bit
more guidance. For the guys, if finding your passion, vision, or edge
doesn’t work, I would look inside and ask yourself what the three core
principles that drive your life are. Remember for me I said courage,
freedom, and independence.
The three core values will not likely change in a person. From
there they can go out into the world and ask, “What are the kinds of
things I could do? What kind of career? What kind of vision or missions
in my life fall into these three core principles? How do I align myself
with those kinds of things, based on the fact that I know myself so well
and that these things have to be in everything that I do?” After you find
the answers to those questions, it’s just about making some intelligent
choices. That would be the greatest piece of advice I think I could give
anybody at this time.
