As you know of my story of childhood and despair. Ever since gaining confidence from weight-lifting, a new chapter has opened in my life. Like pages without words and the only thing there in my mind daily is," Finding my Purpose." But I can't seem to find my purpose really. Something I want to enjoy and make a decent to upper income living. My strengths are motivating people, but I don't know how to approach it. Yes, some might say go to college, earn a degree than work at that job. But why? Why be at a job that I don't like until I die when I could be doing something I love.


Could anyone help me with this? Thanks.

Your purpose? That's a big question. What have you got going for you right now? I think it sounds regular to get a new boost of confidence and then feel a little unstable about it probably doubting that it is legit. One thing I learned is if you keep imagining that something is real, you keep thinking about it, you keep pretending it is there, eventually it leads you right to it. So probably something you should focus on is exactly what it is you want and then work on making your way in that direction.

10 years ago I thought I had no purpose, I had nothing, I lost everything and all I had was my dick in my hands. From that point I started to realize that I was doing PE and it was working. My purpose appeared like an apparition and I spent my days, all my days, helping men on the same quest. I did what I loved to do until I got paid to do it. If you are good with motivating people you are much like myself. Through what I have learned over the past 10 years, how to research and find information and share it with others has opened other doors that serve purpose. Your only job in this life is to find your joy and live it. Find something you love with all your soul and I can guarantee there are millions who share this love. DO it not for the money, do it for the love. Open up and allow the things you want to come. Your first job in this is asking, you have asked now, you have put it out into the universe, now it is time to look for the clues to where it is. Remember, when we ask for something it is immediately granted, the only reason we can't see it is because we are in the way of it:) Ask once, live as if it has happened, feel the joy and allow it to knock on your door.

Try some volunteer work. Say once or twice a month go and help at a shelter, read to blind folks, assist at a V.A. hospital, hand out cookies at a blood drive...and on and on and on. All while you're doing this interact absolutely as much as you can.

Listen to other people's stories, learn, actually make that human connection. Walk that mile in their mocassins.
Within 3-6 months I'll just about guarantee you'll have a life-changing event.
Epiphany is a word that's lost a lot of its true impact...but that's what you'll find if you actually go on out into the world, give of yourself and connect!

awesome advice here... my advice is nowhere near as good as other posts here... but you said two things in your post: the first thing is that you enjoy lifting weights, because it makes you confident, and the second is you enjoy motivating people... ever thought of becoming a personal trainer? simple courses can get you into it.

just my input

Might just do that.
