5 Steps Discover Current "Life Aim"

5 Steps Discover Current "Life Aim"

The question of life aims is often mistaken for destinations to discover in the future, but Joe Hudson, chief executive coach, points out that real aims are not big stories, but "tactile feelings" expressed through the way you do things today. This article outlines 5 steps to align your frame of mind with real motivation and passion.

1.Make Purpose Audit to check the current state

The first step is to determine if you are living your life on purpose, which is done through assessing your inner feelings:

Billion Dollar Question: Would you sell the job you're doing now in exchange for $1 billion? The "no" answer shows that the job has value in itself.

Future reward emphasis: Are you enjoying the "music" of your journey, or are you rushing to the "climax" or future rewards?

The "should do" factor: action is caused by a real desire to do, or by a sense of "should do" or "must do."

Instinct Reaction: A sense of excitement to start working is a sign of purpose, while a sense of fear or disdesire to start (Sunday Scaries) is a clear sign that your life is deviating.

2. Change your fear of money with creativity.

The most common argument to pursue aims is that "I must continue to do this unfulfilling job for financial stability." Hudson argues that this is a bipolar mindset rooted in fear.

Fear doesn't lead to passion: Believing that current work is the only way to raise money is a creative failure.

Unending Opportunities: The world has limitless ways to make money; even a traditional profession like an accountant has a way to find purpose through innovation, choosing to work with a loving team, or a company with a trusted mission.

3. Trial of Truthfulness in the Present Role (30-Day Experiment)

Before making a major life-changing decision, a 30-day experiment with utter sincerity in the current environment is an important step.

Change 'what' to 'how': The question is, "If I live my life on purpose in this work, how do I express it? How do I say it?" Doing this will help distinguish whether resentment is caused by the nature of the work (What) or how to access the work (Howe).

The world will adapt accordingly: When you truly express yourself, the outside world will begin to change in response. "People who like what you do will come up to you, and people who don't like will leave," which is to attract opportunities and people who are in line with you.

4. Eliminate self-criticism

Finding a purpose should not become a source of anxiety and self-blame. Repeating the question "Why can't I find a purpose?" often lurks in self-criticism, which hinders the process.

The tyranny of aims: The danger is to replace social pressure with equally rigid pressure to find the "only real aim," which will create a new measure of feeling that it is a failure in life. Therefore, this inner pressure should be stopped.

5. Find the current aim through experiment.

The final step is to embrace the core philosophy of this frame of thought: the aim is not the future goal, but the current tactile reality, found through constant curiosity and experimentation.

The power of trial and error: True aims often arise from a series of seemingly unrelated interests and experiments (such as Steve Jobs' interest in calligraphy from his youth, which became the foundation of font design in Mac).

Broad obsession: The problem lies not in following the obsession, but in defining it too narrowly. Successful people have a broad obsession with something (such as "problem solving" or "creative expression") that can satisfy thousands of ways in which money can be made.

Priority summary

Your life's aims are expressed through "the way you do things," not just "what you do." It's created with an enthusiastic exploration of curiosity, the courage to answer "yes" to what gives you energy, and true living in the present. Accepting this fact will help you design a life that truly aligns with your true desires.
