Episode 27: Questions to ask for finding your Life Purpose

Principles into Practice with Kain Ramsay

In this short podcast, I'll ask you a series of profound and brutally critical questions as to the reasons behind 'WHY' you do the things that you do in life. King Solomon, son of David, the once King of Israel wrote 'Without vision, man perishes'. Steve Jobs, the founder of Apple during its initial startup said, "There's something going on here... something that is changing the world... and this is the epicentre". Now whatever these men's perspectives were on life, they have both impacted the world in two contrasting yet phenomenal ways! We've all heard the saying "Life is a journey" which unfortunately doesn't help us too much when things get desperate in the midst of out circumstances -- and we've all been there at some point! In the same way in would be unrealistic for the farmer to yield a crop on the same day as he plants his seed, it would unrealistic to believe that the student will be offered a top corporate job whilst on his 2nd year in study. In the same way again, to move forward out of whatever difficulties you're currently facing -- time, persistence, endurance and perseverance are the key elements needed that'll get you closer to your goals. The same is true for all areas in life. Before you commit to relationships, jobs, study courses, investments (of time or money), having a reason WHY you want to do any of these things is fundamental to your getting to wherever it is you want to end up. There are a million and one get rich quick schemes with a million and one people trying to sell them, trying to get rich, or to get famous, or to find prestige, security or significance - which aren't bad things within themselves, but without a strong enough reason WHY, will generally turn into just desperate attempts at trying to achieve something ... ANYTHING!! A Vision is something you can focus on, therefore focus is what you are looking at, in the future -- like your life will be better when you get to this place, except tomorrow doesn't quite come around for many people, and why? It's often due to our perspective. Vision is what you're looking at, whereas perspective is where you're looking from. Many people in life wish to be more effective in their ability to manage or reduce negative thoughts and emotions, reducing anxiety and stress, or increasing their self-esteem and confidence. Unless you know WHY you're living, the things that you do may tend to become more and more meaningless and insignificant.
