Purpose is the one thing every person I look up to has in common, and they are clear on their purpose.
This is, I think, one of, if not the biggest areas in your life. Without purpose, we are nothing; we wouldn't have a will to live. So I think everyone has a purpose, just most people aren't clear on what their purpose is, so live life just day to day, setting goals for what feels good or looks like a great choice for where they are.
If you can figure that key out, you can achieve the steps necessary to take that path. The problem is, where do you start? I personally think it starts with a small motion, like pushing a heavy rock; it takes the most effort upfront, then as you get it going, it gets easier. Starting by writing every single day, on a little notepad, a few short sentences, or sentence, of your purpose. Why are you here?
I've got one thing in my head that I need to get out, and that is to be successful, rich, and famous. It's been a pretty big motivator in a lot of my work, but I don't have a clear purpose for becoming those things, so I feel like I'm going after an empty dream. Overcoming that, I think, is the key.
Key takeaways:
1) All great leaders have one thing in common - they are clear on their purpose
2) Finding purpose, I think, is the key to everything
3) Finding your purpose will take a long time, so start with a sentence or two, start broad, every morning
4) Overcome your want's; look for a higher purpose than you
