We have covered a lot of ground haven’t we? If you completed each of these exercises, you now have a firm foundation upon which to build the life you were intended to live. You have triangulated your most important Roles, Visions and Values. In so doing, you have created your Natural Mission and discovered the Inherent Direction for your life.
The Roles that you have just identified on the previous page are the different parts you are going to play in this story called your life. By focusing on these Roles, you have now determined what is most important to you and arrived at a highly personal mission for accomplishing it. Making each Vision for each Role a reality in your life is the “What” that you are going to trade for with the only life you have. This is your Purpose.
Your Roles are where you are going to spend most of your precious time and energy in the days to come. By your analysis, they will give you the greatest satisfaction and meaning in the days to come. Your mission will be your greatest contribution to yourself, your family, your friends and to the world.
As time goes on, you may discover that there are other things that are more important to you than what you have just stated here. If so, no problem. Add them to this short list of mission statements and then prioritize this new list to determine which of your highest roles/visions/values deserves your limited time and best efforts the most.
But for now…
Regardless of how you arrived at your list of values and visions, whether you believe you received a higher calling, or if you have simply accepted your unique Fate in life or if you are driven by the thrill of being the master of your own life…
It Is Now Up To You To Perform On Purpose.
Now that you are a 10 on Mission, what happens next? Now that you have answered the question “Why am I here?”, it now begs for the answer to the second most important question. “How in the world am I going to make that happen?”
How do you put your mission on the fast track to success? How you do guarantee that you will achieve the visions inherent in each of your Roles? (If, by the way, you aren’t just a little concerned by the thought of what it will take to achieve each of your missions, you need to go back and create a more inspiring Vision of what could be possible. After all, you will never know your true potential until you put it to the test!)
Will YOU be Sucessful on Purpose?
To be a Success on Purpose—to achieve your personal Mission—will not be easy. You will have to overcome all the hardships, obstacles, and difficulties that naturally stand between you and your success. No one else will do this for you. Once you have declared what you will be responsible for, it’s up to you to make it happen.
You will be tested. No doubt, it will take all the Power of TQ you can produce. It’s now time for you to step up and become an active participant in your life. It’s time to take the necessary actions that will bring those things that mean the most to you into this world. How?
Our best recommendation is to start by keeping your personal ENERGY level high and your ATTITUDE in over-drive while you set crystal clear GOALS and make carefully detailed PLANS. You will need to PRIORITIZE your activities and SYNERGIZE like crazy—recruiting as many people to help you as you can muster. You will need to ORGANIZE your activities and OPTIMIZE your time so that you can make as much progress by the end of the day as you can. And finally, you absolutely must ACT NOW. You absolutely must take massive positive action so that you can bring your vision into the world by accomplishing one major milestone after another.
There are Two Great Tragedies in Life: 1. Not knowing your Purpose.
