The Secret Ingredient for Creating Your Dream Life

You weren’t built by accident. You were built uniquely for a purpose that not only serves the world, but that also inspires and motivates you.

Unfortunately, most people, like moms, find that their deepest desires have been masked by what other people want or need you to do. You get a business degree because your parents expect it, when you secretly want to pursue a career in the arts. You agree to start a family right away, even though your real passion is to travel the globe. You love being a mom, doing organic gardening, and cooking healthy meals, but that’s not considered an “important” career, even though it’s the most important work any of can ever do in our entire lifetime.

If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. On the way to pleasing others, being politically correct, paying the bills and securing the “future,” most moms have sadly lost track of their own true desires.

So what’s one way out of this predicament? Start removing the clutter and obstacles in your life that are holding you back from following your heart.

When you begin to eliminate fear, the weight of debt, laziness, self-sabotage, and toxic people, your true self will begin to emerge. You’ll start to get a glimpse of what’s inside of you, and your heartfelt passions will come to light.

Of course, passion is the fuel that will help you achieve your goals and change your life even if you don’t have the knowledge, contacts, funding or opportunities right now. Passion is the secret ingredient you can use to fuel your own success and create an amazing life. So what can you do to add more passion and purpose to your life?

• Identify what you are passionate about. What are you so passionate about that you’d dedicate every waking moment to achieving it? What’s the goal, topic, vision, calling, or future that you are equally passionate about? If it makes you lose track of time, puts a sparkle in your eye, and occupies most of your waking hours, that’s your passion. For me, it’s all things surrounding pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and breastfeeding along with supporting moms like you in discovering and pursuing your passion.

• Turn your passion into the ultimate career. Unfortunately, many moms get so caught up in the clutter of everyday life, they don’t see an opportunity for themselves in an activity they love. They don’t realize that social media, e-commerce, and other technology has changed the equation by creating opportunities in blogging, photography, travel, publishing, entrepreneurship, forex trading, spiritual leadership, developing new inventions, and providing unique services. Countless businesses and careers have grown out of a mom’s passion for chemical-free households, quilting, surfing, scrapbooking, hunting and shooting, hiking, writing fiction, eco-travel — the examples are endless. In fact, today, it’s more possible than ever to turn your passion into a full-time career, thriving business, or side gig that pays the bills.

• Find what you naturally love to do. If you got outside your life and actually focused on you, chances are good your true heart’s desire would emerge. Unfortunately, passion and purpose are two things that can easily get buried by paying the bills, managing toxic relationships, and plain old everyday stress. But by setting goals, working through roadblocks, taking action, and working toward your ideal life, your unique purpose and passion will appear.

Of course, finding your unique passion and life purpose starts with creating overall balance in your life. That means identifying what’s not working (and then fixing it) in every area of life. The key is to decide what you want in these areas, set some goals, and stay accountable to taking action daily to reach those goals.
