Finding the Common Theme

Greetings!

If this is your first time reading this blog, I recommend that you go back to yesterday’s blog first to get an idea of what we’re working towards this week. Each day during this week we will be building upon the ideas presented the days before. I asked you to write a list of all of your talents, skills, abilities, interests, and your past experiences.

If you look over the list of all of your talents, skills, abilities, interests, and past experiences, you will notice there tends to be a common theme present. This common theme is your purpose. It is the why you are here. It has everything to do with what you have to offer the world. And you will find that what you have to offer is unique to you. Only you have all of the pieces in just the right combinations and quantities to make up a totally unique perspective.

Your perspective is exactly what many other people need to see in order to get a better perspective of their own circumstances, to improve some aspect of their lives. Your discovery of this purpose can be the most valuable discovery of your life. It can set you on a path to doing the right thing, and you will be rewarded abundantly for following this path that is unique to you.

Abundance comes through exchange of products, ideas or services. The more you offer, the more you will receive. Notice I did not say the more you have to offer. I said the more you actually do offer. This means action of some sort is required on your part. You must find the way to present your product, service or ideas and follow through with it.

For example, let’s say you have a good knowledge base on some topic that would allow you to tutor a student. It would be a simple task to spread the word to everyone you know that you are available to help them or their children with their homework. You could create flyers and post them in appropriate locations. You could even speak directly with the schools and offer your services.

The idea I am getting at here is once you have a list of what you can offer, you need to look this list over and get a feeling for which areas you have a connection with. Choose something that draws you to get involved and then follow that. You are becoming solution oriented, and this will make all the difference in the world for you.

It feels good to be doing something to advance your growth. You will be doing what you came to do. Life is meant to be experimented with. It should be looked at as an adventure. If what you choose to do doesn’t pan out, try something different. Consider it to be a puzzle that you must figure out.

The change in your attitude can be instant. If you persist in seeking expression for your talents, the change in your bank account will come about soon enough. Forget about the stories you hear about people coming up with an idea and suddenly becoming millionaires. This may be possible, but it is a rare thing indeed. Even when it appears to be overnight, you can be assured that there was a lot going on to bring it about, long before the sudden rise ever manifested.

Even a small boost in your income can do wonders for how you face life. You begin to feel more in control of your circumstances. When you feel more in control, you become more in control. You become motivated to do more. Have fun with whatever you are doing. This should not be like work. It should not be just another job. Remember, a “job” only means Just Over Broke.

To your Journey,

Jeffrey B. Brandt
