A client recently asked me how to get full clarity on their purpose \u2014\u00a0they don\u2019t feel certain, and that lack of certainty makes it hard to fully commit themselves.<\/p>\n
You might be able to relate: if you feel 100% sure that something is the right direction and is going to work out, you\u2019re likely to be pretty motivated. But if you\u2019re not sure \u2026 maybe the doubts have you hesitating.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s that hesitation that gets us.<\/p>\n
The problem is that we don\u2019t get clarity of purpose by just thinking about it<\/strong>. No amount of thinking, reading, or watching videos is going to get us clarity of purpose.<\/p>\n The way to get clarity of purpose is to take your best shot at it<\/strong> \u2014 sit and reflect in silence, journal about it, talk to people about it, and then come up with something. Anything. Even if it feels completely uncertain.<\/p>\n And then act as if you were 100% certain<\/strong>. Commit yourself as if you had an answer from the Gods. Take action. Pour your full self into it. And then see what happens.<\/p>\n If you do this, you\u2019ll get more clarity after taking committed action<\/strong>. You\u2019ll learn something. Much more than if you took no action at all, or half-hearted action.<\/p>\n So if you\u2019re looking for clarity about your purpose \u2026 stop reading and watching stuff. Sit and reflect, and then choose from the heart. Then commit yourself fully, as if you had full clarity and confidence. And you\u2019ll discover something profound from this.<\/p>\n If you\u2019d like to do this with me, \u200bcome to my retreat in the Sierra Nevada mountains\u200b<\/a>, Sept. 20 \u2013 22.<\/p>\n The retreat is $2,499 for the 3 days, and includes accommodations in a cabin on Lake Tahoe.
