Your self-esteem plunged. You don’t think you are good enough for anything.

Written by Lynn Moore


We are drowning in it, our grey matter is swollen with it, halfrepparttar time when we need a piece of it and we know it is "in there" somewhere, we can't access it becauserepparttar 122743 poor Grey Matter Computer is so jammed it takes forever to search forrepparttar 122744 file and then it's usually "just lost" or was mistakenly deleted. And that's just our brains...what about our files, drawers, shelves, filled with papers, books, stuff.

Arrrgggghhhhh!

Whatrepparttar 122745 heck good is all this information if we can't use it? Or can't find it? Well, there is good news...

The INFORMATION AGE is slowly passing. Likerepparttar 122746 tail of a comet that appears, is visible for a time then gradually loses it's brilliance and fades from view. And in it's wake there arrives...

TA DAH...

THE INSPIRATION AGE!

How much ofrepparttar 122750 activity in your life is duty-driven? How much ofrepparttar 122751 activity in your life is driven by passion? There is a world of difference between duty-bound activities and INSPIRED action! INSPIRATION propels you intorepparttar 122752 actions you love to do. In any segment of your life, if you do not love what you are doing 80% ofrepparttar 122753 time, you are not living an On-Purpose life.

INSPIRATION is fueled by passion. What are you passionate about? If you can get in touch with this, you will have defined your life purpose. For most of us that is not easily done and is a good subject for Life Coaching. Inrepparttar 122754 meantime, here are some ideas with which to start:

1. Write a list of things that are important to you. You will find that once you get rolling, you won't be able to write them down fast enough.

2. List 10 times you felt like a winner or things you are most proud of. Some should be from childhood.
