How To Know If You're Headed in the Right Direction

Have you ever thought about leaning more into your passion, living your dreams and making an income from it, doing work you love?  Maybe you have, but how do you know if you’re on the right track?

Also, is what you’re doing even making a difference or impact in this world?

I believe that yes, we each have our own unique way of contributing to this world.  Our creativity, our voice, our interactions with others, our work, our families, all of this matters.

We’re not only shaping and creating our own lives, but we’re touching the lives of others.  We’re shaping this world.

It’s our purpose.  

It’s one of the reasons why we're here on this earth.

As I’ve been thinking about this, I wanted to share some key questions to ask yourself, to find out if you’re headed in the right direction.

1. Get clear on what matters most to you, what is important? Make a list of what you value.  Grab a notebook, and take a moment to write this down today because this is so important.  

2. Get to know your strengths.  This is tricky because strengths often come naturally to us and sometimes we don’t see them ourselves.  Think about what comes naturally to you? What are your strengths and how are you using them?

Or, what would you like to develop into a strength? Maybe, that thing you want to do is not totally a strength of yours right now, but all of us are capable of learning and growing.  It’s totally possible. You can develop that area or skill that you want and become stronger than before.

3. Think about what type of legacy you want to leave behind.  What does that look like for you?

I love this question because it will give you perspective.  It gives you a chance to really zoom out and think bigger. Think of the big picture of where you want to go and what legacy you'd be proud to leave behind.  What is it for you?

4. Once you’ve answered the top 3 questions above, you now have to be intentional about what you want, how you want to feel and how you want to show up in this world.  

You have to get clear on that.

Think about it.  Ask yourself these questions and I promise it will help you navigate and make better decisions that are in alignment with where you want to go.

Do you feel you’re on the right track?

If not, where are you getting stuck? Let me know, I’d love to hear what your biggest challenges are right now.
