We are living in such a time era where we all have more opportunities and possibilities to achieve our goals and have a beautiful life we have always dreamt about, never than before. Yet only a few of us seem to be successful in designing the dream life we desired for and most of us FAIL miserably time after time.
In this BLOG I will share insights on CALL TO CLARITY and PURPOSE OF OUR LIFE as the majority of us in spite of having both learned as well as inherent skills lack clarity in what we want to achieve in life. This feeling of lack of purpose holds us back from exploiting the unlimited potential we have within us at its best.
Actually, we need to know what exactly we want from our own selves. Super successful people like Bill Gates, Oprah Winfrey, Narendra Modi, Mukesh Ambani, Jack Ma, Mark Zuckerberg, Steve Jobs, Chanda Kochhar are all my favorite idols, all of them know WHAT exactly they want in life, where they want to be, what they want to do from all they have and within what TIMEFRAME. Isn’t it so precise with dart clarity? They first decide what they want and then they pursue it in full force, passion and self-will. Who can ever imagine failing in life with such an amount of clarity?
But most of us are absolutely vague when it comes to clarity in defining and setting our life goals. Most of us are absolutely unclear about our future directions and are completely heading to the rut-of-a-mill kind of life. This lack of clarity creates complete chaos in our minds and makes us feel unfulfilled and aimless. In absence of clear direction, we tend to just wander blindfolded and land up practically nowhere with a sinking feeling that we have taken a wrong U-turn somewhere along the way.
Have we ever noticed why? So now the mind questions HOW TO GAIN CLARITY?
One simple way to gain massive clarity is by answering these questions to ourselves:
What is the purpose of my life?
What is the most IMP goal I need to set in my life TODAY at this MOMENT?
In what way is the purpose of my life aligned with my vision?
Do I really believe in myself?
Are my set goals achievable?
What inner and outer resources am I supposed to use optimally to achieve my purpose?
Is the blueprint of my purpose practical enough?
Am I focused completely on my purpose?
Will I be able to continue the momentum?
The greater the clarity we create from answering the above questions, the easier it will be to accomplish our purpose.
Let me share with you 6 simple winning strategies towards the charisma of clarity which I constantly use in my life to be successful.
Strategy 1: Following the Blueprint
When we start designing the purpose of our life, initially our minds will be full of clutter and confusion and we will undergo the feeling of external and internal situational pressures. But remember hard that at this testing juncture we will have to learn to be absolutely clear in our decisions and overcome our fear of failure. Following the set blueprint should be our only target at this point no matter what.
Strategy 2: Persistence and Persuasion
Once we have designed the blueprint and started taking action on it, we need to be persistent in pursuing our purpose and constantly wire our minds not to QUIT our actions, in spite of any amount of external or internal influences. We need to be extremely clear-headed on this part.
Strategy 3: Designing a clear vision board
By designing a clear vision board, we will be able to justify our thought patterns and will be able to remind ourselves to visualize our goals. Whenever we are in a frame of dual mind while taking a tough but important decision or when we are in a confused zone, we can just glance through our vision board and get back on track.
Strategy 4: Accepting little falls and faults
We all know that our lives are not picture perfect or a smooth pillion ride. Ups and downs are an interweaved part of our lives. The same goes for the goals of our lives. Accepting our little falls and faults will make our journey towards our roadmap easier. It’s perfectly alright to falter sometimes, fall a little and fault a little. The only thing important here is that after falling, faulting, and faltering; it’s a must to compose ourselves and get back on track to gain momentum.
Strategy 5: Moving forward from the hyper state
Looking through a giant list of vision goals for the purpose of our lives and then trying to obtain them all at once is a disastrous process. This can lead to a massive failure [add personal failures here]. Concentrating on one vision goal at a time rather than the grand scheme is sound sensibility. Focusing on one particular vision goal or a particular task at a time saves us from all the agony and wastage of resources like time, energy, efforts.
When the vision is achieved successfully and step by step, the next thing is neither should we get awestruck nor overwhelmed, as it might take away the splendor and motivation to work with the same efforts and zest in the future. Balancing and moving forward from both the hyper states is immensely important for our emotions and action plans. We need to constantly sustain our motivation as it may tend to soar high in the beginning but may start hitting down gradually.
There is a small little trick to keep the motivation at all high most of the time. I have designed a simple maintainable hand guide that will give a clear picture to sustain our clarity. Let us have a glimpse at it.
