Do you feel like you are stuck? Do you feel like there you have no direction, no purpose? Would you like to discover your purpose in life? If you take the time, finding your purpose in life is not at all that hard. First you have to understand why you are where you are now and then decide where you want to be. It’s that easy.
I believe that everything in life happens for a reason. Most often, one event or action in your life leads to another. If you are moving in the direction of your purpose in life then you’ll continue to move in that direction, but if you’re moving away then you’ll continue to move away.
For example: A few years ago I was working for a large corporation. The job wasn’t bad it was clean, indoors and had great health benefits. I was in the business of convincing people that they needed services that they may not have needed. Before that I had been teaching martial arts and helping people develop physically, mentally and spiritually. When I was teaching I liked what I as doing, was excited about my life and about my future. In the corporate world my job was so stressful that it was actually causing my weight to shift up and my hair (what little I had) to fall out and turn grey.

The Smart Way to Achieve Your New Year’s Goals
“Every ceiling, when reached, becomes a floor, upon which one walks as a matter of course and prescriptive right.” – Aldous Huxley
As the year closes many people go about thinking about things they’d like to have different in their lives next year. As a result, some people set New Year’s Resolutions. Although setting a resolution is better than nothing, people that achieve actually things set goals instead. Why? Because resolutions are usually quickly thought up and, as a result, they are often quickly forgotten. On the other hand, setting goals is a process that takes time, effort and thinking. When you follow a goal setting process you are more likely to achieve what you set out to do. That’s because your goals will be constantly in front of you keeping you focused and on track.
The following are 5 goal setting steps that can help you turn the New Year into your best year yet!
1. Write Your Goals Down

Charles Caleb Colton once said, “Men spend their lives in anticipations, in determining to be vastly happy at some period when they have time. But the present time has one advantage over every other. It is our own. Past opportunities are gone, future have not come. We may lay in a stock of pleasures, as [...]
Charles Caleb Colton once said, “Men spend their lives in anticipations, in determining to be vastly happy at some period when they have time. But the present time has one advantage over every other. It is our own. Past opportunities are gone, future have not come. We may lay in a stock of pleasures, as we would lay in a stock of wine; but if we defer the tasting of them too long, we shall find that both are soured by age.”
A lot of people are like that. They say they’ll be happy some day in the future. They’ll be happy when they make a certain amount of money, get a new car or find the right person. They are always in the process of finding happiness, waiting around for a magical moment in the future to start enjoying their life.

“Until you make peace with who you are, you’ll never be content with what you have.” – Doris Mortman For many years I had a hard time accepting myself and I struggled with how I fit in the world. This resulted in me making lots of poor choices. I was what Red in “That 70’s [...]
“Until you make peace with who you are, you’ll never be content with what you have.” – Doris Mortman
For many years I had a hard time accepting myself and I struggled with how I fit in the world. This resulted in me making lots of poor choices. I was what Red in “That 70’s Show” would call a “dumb-ass”, not a bad person just someone who did dumb things. I had low self esteem and really didn’t like myself all that much. I felt that I wasn’t adequate, that there was something “wrong” with me. Maybe this is you or someone you know.
After a while I got tired of feeling this way and started my journey to figure out how to improve the way I felt about myself and the world around me. It was only when I started accepting myself with all my imperfections, faults as well as my talents, did my self-esteem start to improve. Today I can honestly say that I feel good about myself, at least most of the time.
In this article I’m going to try to give you a roadmap for the methods I used to help me feel better about myself. If you, or someone you know, are struggling with this hopefully this can help you too.
What is Self- Acceptance?
