Someone posted part of the below in another community and it was just too good not to share! Please read and please comment below. What part hit or agree/disagree? or How can you try to improve (or maybe you are already perfect (wink wink)? 💟 ---- The quality of your life is a direct reflection of the standards you hold for your thoughts, your attitude, and your reactions. We are always in control of the meaning we assign to what happens. (HUMANS and their stories!!!) We decide whether a challenge becomes a reason to collapse or a reason to rise. We choose whether adversity sharpens us or breaks us. You cannot become a powerful person while entertaining a victim narrative. Complaining is the fastest way to anchor yourself in stagnation. It cuts you off from the solutions and strength that are already within you. High achievers become allergic to that energy. They refuse to indulge in excuses. They look for the gold lining. They extract wisdom from every situation. They take responsibility for their state, their standards, and their future. It means doing the hard things when no one is watching. It means catching your own thought patterns before they sabotage your potential. It means choosing growth when comfort calls. You were not made to shrink, to play small or to endlessly suffer. Choose the mindset that elevates you. Choose the attitude that makes you unstoppable. Your life will rise to meet the standard you set. I promise you this.

How do you find your purpose? Is it your 9-to-5 job? If so, that's great, right? But if not, what then? Is it your hobby? That's great, but how do you turn a hobby into a job or a business? Is it something you are passionate about? Just like a hobby, can you really turn your passion into a job or a business? People like Steve Harvey say that your purpose is related to your gift. He says that everyone is born with a gift, every single person, and that your gift is something that you do "naturally", without thinking, without effort, without really having to work hard at it... it just comes to you easily. Sometimes or often, you are surprised that other people can't "do it" like you can. Other people, such as Simon Sinek, say that your purpose is related to your "Why". He proposes to ask your best friend (and it must be a friend and not a spouse nor a family member, even though they might be your best friend) why they are friends with you. He says that this question might make your friend stumble with their answer, at first, but eventually, they will get to what it is specifically that you bring to their own lives, and that is your "why". And finally, there are people like Tony Robbins or Dean Graziosi who suggest that we have multiple purposes, sometimes simultaneously in our lives, and sometimes at different times, which are related to our values and beliefs. And that you have to dig deep inside of you and/or ask why you do something and go 7 levels deep (basically ask "Why?" 7 times) to get to your heart's or your soul's "why". I believe that your purpose, your why, your gift is something that drives you without you needing to drive it. It is something that you want to learn more about without needing to be motivated to learn more about it. It is something that wakes you up at night and puts a smile on your face. It is the first thing you think about in the morning and the last thing on your mind before you fall asleep. It is what others say you're good at, and to you, it is nothing or easy or "natural".
