Live Life to Discover Why You Were Born | MWM
Go Out And Live Life = The two greatest days in your life are the day you were born and the day you realize why … But most people don’t know what their purpose is. If you don’t know, don’t use that as an excuse not to do anything. Go find your purpose. Go out and make a glorious mess of life as you experiment. Go try things and live life! Find out what you like and don’t like, and have fun with it. In the absence of knowing what your purpose is, set goals and have fun going after them, learning and growing in the process.




Staying Mission-Minded Keeps You Motivated

Your Mission Impacts Others = Mission should be the driver of our everyday pursuit of excellence. It is the opportunity we have to reach out and serve others. Connecting to your mission is also a powerful way to overcome burnout. You are in the service of others and in that service you matter.

Finding Our Purpose = Success is knowing your purpose in life. Until we know why we are here, how can we know we are successful? The mission, the calling we have, and the giftedness we have demands that we know what our purpose is. When we know why we are here, that is our purpose, that is our success. 


What are you good at? = "What is your purpose in life?" Once we figure out what that is, we begin to develop like we never have before. Remove the layers and watch your purpose unfold!



Allow Your Passion to Become Your Purpose = Are you questioning the path you are taking? Take a step back and remind yourself what your passion is. Then, let your passion light the way on your journey to discover your purpose.

‘Why’ Before ‘Wow' = This isn’t about asking “why,” but instead knowing your “why.” The difference? Asking why keeps you stuck. But knowing your why, your purpose, your reason for existence, that propels you forward—that gives you wings to find your “wow!” Open up a whole new world by discovering your why.

Are you questioning the path you are taking? Take a step back and remind yourself what your passion is. Then, let your passion light the way on your journey to discover your purpose.


When You Discover What You’re Good at, Start DOING It
