Your desires are not random. They are the map your feet should follow. Your passion isn't just a one-night stand with fate, it’s your most serious love affair with life. Your hardest, most rewarding mission on this planet is to find your story, trust yourself and tell it. - Andrea Balt
Knowing what’s behind your desires and actions, and then making that your priority will move you from being reactive to proactive.
Three questions can help you determine your highest priorities, says author Tim Elmore in his book Marching Off the Map:
1) In my desired role what is required of me?
Being consistent in your tasks and objectives, you will become aware of and identify essential functions of your role needed for your success (note to self, these items must be the essential challenges needed to get you moving and to get things done as a necessary part of your success.
2) What produces the greatest results when I do it?
Make a list of the activities that you do well and that bears you the most result (These activities other people will agree that you well). These activities are possibly what you can commit to even under great periods of stress or ups and downs in your life, and are things that you may feel you are here to do, call it your purpose.
3) What is most fulfilling when I do it?
In what is uncovered through reflections and observations will show areas of your actions that are consistently done. It will uncover attitudes or actions you commit to either consciously or unconsciously, those essential task and activities that brings about where you find fulfilment. It is through your research and observation on your actions, projects, and tasks, that clarity will be found in what you value and what is really deeply satisfying to you. (and that might surprise you) Those task or activities that you love so much, that you would do them even if you weren’t being paid for it.
I was once considered and at times still am reactive. Thus I turned myself into my own personal project so rather than labelling myself as reactive I am now a proactive work-in-progress.
Now I can do actions that are conscious in their focused on my personal journey of development. I can utilize the vision of a happier, more self-directed mode of action to lead me to a more confident future and use it as the fuel to constantly step out of my comfort zone.
As I have grown more and more into my role as a mentor, I realize the practices and processes I learned and have used to transform my own life could be Highly Valuable to others.
· To Let Go of personal stories and reactive activities that keeps one stuck.
· Knowing what’s behind desires and actions, allows one to KNOW the real you.
· To SHOW or expose yourself to the world as more than competent but meaningful.
And
· to GROW, continuously, into a powerful yet peaceful vision of yourself.
The truth is, you don’t need to learn how to be you. Instead you need to UNLEARN the habits that are preventing your natural ability to proactively BE You.
