What's my life purpose? That's the first thing I had to figure out in the coaching program. Identifying my life purpose allows me to focus on what's important for me and what I want to achieve in my life. The other reason identifying my life purpose is important is it helps me to set goals of what I want to achieve - short term and long term.
So if you've been wondering why you're here and the purpose of your existence, you might want to try this exercise.
Find a quite, comfortable spot. You can sit or lie down - it's up to you. Whatever makes you most comfortable. You can put on some light music to help you relax. Breathe in and breathe out. Concentrate on your breathing. Ask yourself this question: if you were provided with everything you wanted and needed to release your full potential an achieve your highest vision, what would your purpose be?
Write down whatever comes to your mind. Note what pictures come to you. Write all of them down. Do not judge the picture that come to you. Accept them.
You might not get any answer in the first attempt but keep trying. Eventually the answer will come to you. I promise you it will be a pleasant surprise.

The Power of Intention
"Doing isn't difficult. Deciding is."
- Foster Hibbard
What is the one thing that you want in life? A loving spouse? A mansion? A sport car? A promotion? Go to grad school?
Regardless of what you want, the critical step is deciding. Decide what you want. If you do not decide, you won't get it. It's as simple as that.
Once you've decided, take steps to move yourself towards your desire. It doesn't have to be something earth-shattering. It could be something as simple as putting aside $10 a month to buy that fancy dress you've been eying. Each day, take small baby steps to get you there.
I know that deciding and taking small steps work because it has worked for me. If it works for me, it would also work for you.
Since I decided I want to be financially free and start taking baby steps, a series of events have occurred that take me closer to my goal. A seminar invitation, a new contact, new acquaintances, new opportunities. When I look back on what has happened in the past 6 months, I could not help but feel amazed by how things seem to fall into place.
When you read books on how to be successful, all of them advice you to get into the company of like-minded people. Surround yourself with successful people. When you do so, you cannot help but be influenced by their success and that will help propel you forward. The next most common advice is to find a mentor. A mentor is vital in securing your success because s/he had done it and can guide you, and reduces the chances of you making unnecessary mistakes.
I asked myself for months, how and where I can find like-minded and successful people. An opportunity presents itself last May. I heard this really loud voice telling me, "Go join them. Go for it. If you don't do this you'll regret it for the rest of your life." I followed that voice and found myself in the company of like-minded people and some very successful ones too! This is the power of intention at work!
My next concern was finding a mentor who can guide me. Last month, another opportunity was presented and I decided to grab it. I am now working under the guidance of a success coach. This is my second week in the program. What an awesome 2 weeks it have been.
If you've ever tried to enroll yourself in a coaching/mentoring program you'd know how costly it can be. I can barely afford it myself, but I decided to jump in anyway because I know that if I can go through this and achieve my goal within the next year, the reward I'll receive will far exceed the price I'm paying now.
I'm going to let you know what I'm doing in this coaching program. So if you can't afford such programs, pay attention, and I'll share what I learn with you.
