Principle 2 “Be Clear Why You Are Here” -Retry
I’m pretty sure most of the people don’t know their life purpose.
I’ve completed this principle on new years day. I still like my statement. But it’s fuzzy.
So I tried the two exercises in the book, but still it’s unclear.
I just want to be happy. And it’s OK, I need to figure out what makes me happy, and pick up the one that I’m good at, and it seems I certainly shouldn’t neglect my relationship with others.
I want to make it really right.I need to develop my statement further so I can really feel excited about it.
I asked my friends what I am good at last time. But my problem was, I wasn’t really clear what I love to do. I can think of a few things I love to do, but I just can’t connect them to my statement.
I tried to remember the time I felt joyful and so alive, but it didn’t go well. I will have to relax and take time to do this. Some of the websites even suggested to meditate before and during the exercise to find out the life purpose.
I’ve been feeling calm these days but sadly, I can’t really remember the time I felt so happy and so alive recently that would give me an idea.
I mean I’m happy when I’m with my friends, when I’m doing a good job at work, drawing, sitting in the sun…
How long will it take? I have no idea but anyway I’m going to try this exercise I found on a website, and that is just to keep writing down whatever comes into my head while thinking about my purpose.
Obviously it didn’t tell me how long it would take, 20mins? 1 hour? But worth a try.
I’ll be thinking about this principle but unfortunately, I need to take a shower and prepare for tomorrow, go to bed in an hour or so.
Tomorrow is the first class of portrait drawing course, Thursday life drawing, and Friday I hired a tutor and am meeting him.
I’m not sure when I say I’m too busy to take time next two or three days, does this mean I’m making an excuse?
But I know even if I try to work on this principle after my “arty night”, it wouldn’t bring a result. I’ll be tired from lack of sleep.
Most importantly, I don’t feel wrong to devote my nights to drawing. I know I’ll enjoy it and that will make me happy. Plus, it will help me to develop my skill.
So I will try this exercise on Saturday. Additionally, I’ll meditate every morning as suggested in the book.
I will also take this question into my dream.
This may sounds like a chore, and it did feel like a chore. But what I’m going to do is just to remember the time I felt so happy and alive.
Oh I don’t know…but what the hell.
