  Are you going slowly crazy in a job that doesn't suit you? Are you wondering just what it will take to finally live a purposeful and passionate life? Studies suggest that as many as 80% of people are dissatisfied with their work and find little or no meaning in it. If you are one of them, here's something you can do to transform your life. Step 1 – Discovering the clues to your destiny The first thing is to realise that the clues to your destiny, your true purpose, are already in your life. They're there in front of you and you're just not seeing them. So, get a sheet of paper, settle down comfortably, and write down the answers to these questions:
AdvertisementStep 2 – Imagining your ideal life Now take the clues you found in Step 1 and create a picture of your ideal life. Yes, it's OK to dream – give yourself permission to put aside the objections and excuses for a while. We'll deal with them later. For now, create a statement of what your perfect life will look like or feel like. For example:
Don't be afraid if your passions seem either too normal or too ambitious. Your happiness depends on you recognising these passions without judgment. The secret Okay, now you've got an idea of what you're really passionate about, but how do you manifest it in your life? What about all those practicalities like time and money? So here's the secret that makes all the difference. The reason why these dreams haven't yet manifested in your life is because you were never absolutely clear on them. It's not about the money or the opportunities or the intelligence that you think you don't have – it's about clarity."When you are clear, what you want will show up in your life, and only to the extent you are clear." That's a quote from the book The Passion Test – The effortless path to discovering your destiny by Janet and Chris Attwood. Your job is to get clear on what you want – and only once you've done that will the opportunities appear. So go out there and dream – get clear on what you would love to be, do, and have – then keep you attention on these things. You might be surprised at what happens!
