Do You Have A Purpose in Life

Take time to ponder the questions,

“What really matters in life; what do I want to have achieved when I look back over my life?”

Make time for solitude and silence.

Filling every minute makes it hard to clear your head, and free yourself of internal and external distractions.

Seek out people who inspire you – and then learn from them.

There are many people who live inspiring lives. Learn from their experience, and what they have to share.

Keep a close eye on your progress.

It is easy to slip back into unproductive habits. So, we need to be committed to sticking to our plan.

Accept that struggles and setbacks will be part of your experience.

There will be times when you are tempted to give up and stop trying … but choosing to keep going is the only way for  you to reach your dreams.

Understanding People

If I understand you, then I can be more accurate in my interactions with you.

Understanding another person is perhaps the second most difficult thing to do (the most difficult thing is understanding yourself).

People are driven by complex and deep motivations, that if you can understand you can support and shape.

They have limited capabilities and are shaped by past events in their lives - many of the early ones of which may have been, at the time, traumatic.

They infer meaning that is different from what is really happening and formulate intent using faulty logic and decision processes.

They have differing preferences that lead them to behave as different 'personality types'.

...and all you need to do is understand all this.

What's can you do???

I'm glad you asked!

Always spend as much time as possible trying to understand people so that you can explain their past actions and predict their likely future actions.

Demonstrating your understanding, when coupled with care and concern, is a powerful way of building trust.

When talking with them, use the same language and models as they do, so they can understand what you say in their own terms.

You can also use your understanding to build tension and, therefore, persuade them.
