How To Find Out Who You Are and Your Purpose in Life. How to discover your talents and strengths...This morning I woke up and read a little bit of Think And Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. I was inspired to sit down with a pen and piece of paper and start writing what came to my mind. After writing three lists of things I know about myself I was surprised to find I had created for myself an extremely eye-opening and valuable exercise that has helped me find my voice as a human being. I felt this is something I wanted to share for you...so here you go!
Step 1. Make a quick list of your aptitudes (your natural talents and things you are good at)
Step 2. Make a quick list of your specialized knowledge (training, expertise, things you know about or how to do)
Step 3. Make a quick list of your core philosophies (what do you believe, your world views, beliefs about money, love, etc.)
Watch the video and I'll walk you through the exercise and explain!

Do people not realize that THINK AND GROW RICH is a TONED-DOWN version of Napoleon Hills law of success in sixteen lessons? Listen or read the original they pulled it off the shelf back then because they knew how accurate it was and then put out the toned down version which is think and grow rich. Forget the second one, read or listen to the original!!

Dont listene to people saying you are valuable when you yourself know that statement is empty when it concerns you. If you dont know what to do, do something.you will find your purpose along the way. Focus all your time amd energy into one thing and you will bloom. Thats it Example: If you dont know hlw to play the piano and i give you one, nothing will come out of it. But if you dedicate yourself to it. Keyhole all your potential and time into the piano You will explode at the other side of the door and the amount of thing you can do with and learn from the piano will be unlimited.

@@Limpass610 I'm in a much better place mentally than I was last year but thank you sm for the response. Literally at the time an answer like what you said would have been great at the time. I know it sounds stupid but during the lockdown I tried playing football manager (ik it sounds stupid compared to learning something like the piano) but I tried playing l football manager, alright I'm not great at it but I'm much better than I used to be. I think it just shows how powerful games are really and how they really take your mind off problems in life. Thanks a lot though for the response, I know it was a year late but it was definitely one worked. 👍🏻

@EricCoplen 8 лет назад

+Ely Hoshea “The best way not to be bored is to do what you like doing, typically something you’re good at.” - I think you may enjoy this article www.psychologytoday.com/blog/open-gently/201212/why-people-get-bored. I understand where you are coming from Ely. I would spend some time with this exercise and even revisit often to dial in on what lights you up. Creating a morning routine for yourself that includes self-reflection and ingesting inspirational or motivational info will also be of massive benefit. Some great books are "Think & Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill and "How to Win Friends & Influence People" by Dale Carnegie. Just feed your mind every morning (even if you only have 4 minutes to spare!) and you will experience a shift much sooner than you might expect. Thanks for your question and I hope this helps!

This video popped up on my 'recommended videos' and RU-vid must know me well because I couldn't agree more with you. I'm so glad that after your epiphany you decided to film and share what you came up with. Blending the 3 lists is a brilliant way to bring your passions and gifts to life, most people don't break it down like this. It's logical, rational, AND spiritual- the formula to bring it reality. I'm also a big picture thinker so it was cool to see you mirror back to me what I see in myself. You're a rad guy with that has an important message to share with people, keep sharing your light and vulnerability, it's appreciated. ~ Tiffany

@EricCoplen 7 лет назад

Hi K Hum. Thank you for sharing your experience. In my experience, most people feel like you do at times, me included. I'm sure you have abilities and social talents that you are giving yourself credit for. I recently heard someone say that when you have nothing to look forward to, you feel depressed. If you don't feel you have "talents" or "abilities", then you might consider joining some local meetup groups or facebook communities where you could learn new things and meet new people. Often, something as simple as having an event to look forward to and a community to be part of will help pull you out of a rut. Give yourself credit. You didn't make it to your 50's without abilities and talents...it's impossible. Try my exercises and be nice to yourself. See what you discover!
