As the old economy crumbles, more and more people are looking for a path that serves life more than money. Unemployed, underemployed, and disillusioned with the corporate structure, increasing numbers are looking to the internet and home and family based businesses to provide a more fulfilled life. A major challenge, however, is finding a direction.
Nothing is more frustrating than not having a meaningful direction. Clarity is critical for success. It provides you with the power to do. Without a clear direction, you remain stuck or running around in circles. Even worse, you can never reach your full potential because you cannot fully commit.
Each person is unique and has something special to offer to the world. To be truly happy, we must use our "uniqueness" to add value to the lives of others. This is important in order to have relationships that give us meaning and financial success.
When you identify a direction for your life, it helps you in three ways:
It helps you to clarify your area of contribution.
It helps you connect meaningfully with others.
It helps you define and apply your internal focus in order to make wise decisions.
Then you can begin to align your resources with your values and sense of purpose. You can set your own limits, and maintain a sense of balance within yourself and with others.
