As a mindset and performance coach, I help people achieve Success that Matters®. My clients create high performance in what matters most to them, resulting in a strong sense of purpose and fulfillment. I’m going to share with you the transformation of a recent client and how you can use these same strategies to create a life of purpose and find your true meaning of life.
How to find the purpose of life and live a fulfilling life
“Ding,” my phone beeped at me, signaling a new potential coaching client had filled out my pre-interview questionnaire. She was successful in her career and enjoyed the challenge of her work. But like many of my ambitious clients, she was struggling to balance her work and her personal life. She started to feel lost about her goals in life.
This is how I met her, Jenny (alias), a high-powered career woman.
Jenny’s career had gradually crept all over her calendar, and she was trying to cram her personal life around the edges. From the time she woke up in the morning until going to bed, emails marked ‘urgent’ from colleagues and clients flooded her inbox. She spent a lot of time putting out fires and responding to the demands of others. Her self-care had dwindled. She had little time to nurture her most important relationships with family and friends.
She was feeling overwhelmed with her never-ending to-do list and was wondering if the life she imagined living was even possible.
During her interview call with me, I knew I could help her. I’ve helped hundreds of high achievers with the struggles she faced, and was confident that 8 weeks later her life would look much different.
And it did.
The positive results 8 weeks later
In our weeks together, she achieved the following results:
- Achieved her ideal work-life rhythm (without sacrificing her career success)
- Began an exercise habit
- Created time to nurture new friendships
- Streamlined her workflow in her career and personal life
- Created the space to realize a big dream and make an action plan to achieve it
- Defined success on her terms and built her life around what matters most to her
- Felt a sense of purpose and fulfillment
Here is a breakdown of the 4 strategies I used with Jenny. You, too, can use these strategies to find your purpose of life and your sense of significance.
1. Define your true priorities and eliminate false objectives
To live your extraordinary life, you’ll need to live YOUR life, not somebody else’s.
Often, we live our lives how others want us to live. We build our daily habits and schedules around what our families, friends, and society want for us. We are a product of our surroundings.
It takes guts to live your life according to your true priorities, especially when your priorities differ from the people around you. When you have the courage to build your life around what matters most to you, you live authentically and your days…
