Living with Purpose and Passion while Fulfilling Your Life Mission

By Katana Abbott

How many of us go through life on what I call, “on robot”, or like the commercials use to say, “gotta make the donuts”.  I remember actually saying this myself before I found my Purpose and Passion in life. There was a point in my life at around 45 years old, when I realized that there was something missing in my life.  It was almost like an itch…something I could not put my finger on…yet I knew it was there.  There was this nagging feeling or calling that was inviting me to do or be something different and it scared the hell out of me. I actually kept shoving it down because my life was actually on auto pilot and it was easy.  I was at the top of my game — in the top 1% of money managers in my company — attending fabulous conferences and making lots of money.

Then one day, things began to happen to me physically.  My knees gave out, and ultimately, I ended up taking one full year off work to think things through…I know this is something that most folks could never do…I am so grateful for that opportunity because it gave me the time to figure out what I really wanted to be doing with my life. And then I found it! It is helping others experience their own Awakening so they too can live with more purpose, passion and prosperity.

Here is a simple exercise that you can do yourself.   Imagine that you just won the lottery and money was no longer an issue in your life.  What would you be doing with your time?  What would change in your life?  Would you still be doing the work you are doing?  Would you still be living where you are living today? Would you still be in the relationship you are today? Now look at your answers and ask yourself why or why not to each of these questions.

If your Perfect Life is totally different than how you are living today, what is one thing you can do today to bring more purpose, passion and prosperity into your life today:

  • Take up an old hobby like oil painting
  • Join a health club or yoga class
  • Call or visit an old friend you almost forgot about
  •  Start a blog to get your story and ideas out to the world
  • Volunteer or start your own foundation (I did this…it’s not that hard…just ask me)
  • Hire a coach, find a mentor, take a class

Just take that first step Yes, taking that first step can be so powerful.

 

Clarity the Key to Creating Your Perfect Life

By Katana Abbott

Clarity truly is the key to creating your perfect life, unfortunately most people don’t have clarity of what their perfect life is.  It’s important to create your vision.  I want you to take a moment to sit down in a quite place, and visualize your perfect life three years from now.  What would it look like?

Try this exercise -

Imagine it’s three years form now, and you are getting ready in the morning, looking in the mirror and you have a smile on your face — a big grin.  What’s happening in your life today?   Where are you going? What are you going to where?  Who are you meeting?  Where are you living and with whom?

Take a moment to write down what has to happen between now and three years to make these things happen.  You don’t need to know how to do these things, just write down what would need to happen or change.  Write these in present tense and under the three categories below.

Personal – My life is joyful, abundance and effortless, I go to yoga three times a week, and love riding my bike through the wet lands each morning.  I enjoy traveling, speaking and writing – my new book is a success! I love my home on the lake – my life is a vacation every day.

Relationships - My daughters are thriving and creating their own joyful lives now. I love going to weekly concerts with my husband.  We are closer than ever!  I make time to enjoy deep relationships with close friends by planning dates in advance.

Money and Work - My business is running without me.  My virtual team takes care of all the details! I am focused on doing what I love 80% of the time, and it’s paying off because my business is thriving.   We are on track with our financial goals and update our financial plan quarterly.

Focus On What You Want – Not What You Don’t Want

Now print out your affirmations, and put them where you can read them daily.  The next step will be taking action on the goals and working through any challenges, but the first secret is to get really, really clear about what you want and why you want it.  Once you do, the magic will begin and you will literally begin to attract what you want into your life.

If you are foggy about what you want or you only focus on what you don’t want from a “fear” prospective, the Universe will bring you more of that…more fog and fear.

You can make a list, create a vision board, but make sure you create something visual and focus on it every day with emotion and intention.  You can also share your goals and dreams with others.  This may create some fear – but begin to move in the direction of what you want and watch the magic begin.
