Use Defining Moments to Delineate your Purpose

Fotolia_85502733_XS.jpg

Defining moment represents a moment in time that defines something, such as a person's success or failure, achievement or demise. A point at which the essential nature or character of a person, group is revealed or identified.

They are unalterable. They are memorable and you’ll usually remember the exact date and sometimes the exact hour that your defining moment occurred.

Our choices help define these events.  They are either negative or positive but rarely neutral.

However, the best description of a defining moment is that a defining moment brings you closer to discovering your purpose in life.

 

How can you identify and seize a defining moment?

Contribute to something larger than yourself.

Consider that the measure of true happiness is the extent to which we give. When we contribute to a cause greater than ourselves, we effectively find purpose.  Remember, you are not alone; finding purpose is a collaborative effort.

Keep your ear to the ground.

Opportunities are usually hidden and pervasive that it can be sometimes hard to identify and difficult to sort them out. Which ones should we go after, and when?  

Maintain an open mind at all times. Often, the best opportunities are the ones that initially seem the riskiest; however never miss the ones that might be less risky – analyze any and all opportunities which present to yourself to determine which one brings you closer to discovering your purpose in life.

Be patient

Oftentimes, the defining moments of our lives are only realized in hindsight.  They cannot be forced nor forged. The might not be as distinct and grandiose; however, they will always be inspirational in fulfilling your purpose in life.

Overcoming the Fear of Criticism

You have this great idea and can’t wait to tell your friends and family about it. Unfortunately, they don’t share your excitement and give you a thousand and one reasons why it won’t work and why you can’t do it.
Before you know, you start to doubt yourself and agree that the idea will not work and wasn't a good idea after all. 

Criticism is the one form of service, which everyone gives too much and tend to provide without a measure of consequence. 

For many, speaking in public is one of their greatest fear, why?  because of their fear of being criticized by the audience. The first step to overcome the fear of what others might think of us.

For some reason, what people think of us becomes a factor in our achievements. It can have such an impact, that unfortunately, many are limited by other people’s opinions.  In most cases, it affects people's personal life, professional performance, success, and achievements.

You have to decide who you want to be in control of your thoughts and life.  Who's it going to be? you or someone else?

Live Your Life like a Hero

You are the main character in your life’s drama; it’s up to you to decide which part you want to play. You can choose to be the hero or you can choose to be the victim.

We start our lives by being pushed, pressed and fighting to get out of a narrow space. For the rest of our lives, we find ourselves in more narrow spaces that we must fight to get through, but we keep at it until we persevere. It is by overcoming these narrow places in our lives that we free ourselves from tunnel vision and become heroic survivors of our own life voyage. 

When we get stuck in a narrow place, we stay there because of fear. Fear keeps us from making the journey. It keeps us stuck or makes us frantic, disabling us from taking the path of growth and well being. By letting fear take control of how you make decisions, you are no longer choosing your own trail.

Life is a journey of discovery, not certainty, and the best way to make it is simply to take it. A heroic journey is when you recognize and confront your fears, allowing you to move past them and discover truth and purpose.

Try to live your life like a hero; you never know when the path of our lives can become an inspiration to others who are in their own pursuit of purpose.
