You know something that I most enjoy and appreciate about knowing and living true to my life purpose? It's the ability to be inspired into action.
This morning I awoke around 5:30 and lay in bed for a while listening to Matatus hooting around the leafy suburbs of Urugits(If you not updated by the latest words in Nairobi, please refer to your Sheng dictionary, I mean friends). As I lay there, I noticed I felt odd - a filling leftover from a strange dream I'd had while sleeping. As I became more conscious of the sensation, I decided I didn't want to start my day in such a strange mood, so I continue to lie there but shifted my thoughts from the remnants of the dream to my life purpose.
As I recited my life purpose statement to myself, I began to notice my mood shifting as well. How could I be purposefully, passionately and playfully be of service today?, I asked myself, then recalled what I had on my calendar -- the wonderful young people that I work with at CHRISC, the different Projects that I'm working on, the new Community Coaching Program, excitement of EAC 2011, harusi ya Kariz(thought of how many pigs will lose their precious lives) leave plans, my future family, investments and not forgetting playing soccer games where am always the top scorer(I can see some people sneering but the truth must be told) etc Within a few minutes, I found I just couldn't stay in bed any longer. The opportunity to live on purpose was simply too compelling.
Once more I was inspired into action by my life and life purpose. Now, this isn't meant to sound like am full of myself, so please don't hear it that way. I just wanted to share it with you in case you don't find yourself pulled into your life by your dreams, goals and desires. I know it wasn't so many years ago that the main thing that had me get out of bed most mornings was the need to go pee. There just wasn't anything else going on with my life that was all that inspiring or compelling. But not anymore.
Living a life on purpose is amazing, and it all starts with readiness, willingness, and yes, a commitment to clarify your life purpose so that you can begin to live true to it. So, I ask you: What action could you take this week to become clearer about your life purpose? How will you inspire yourself into action?
