You possess special gifts and talents that are specific to you as a person. How do you identify and prepare for your purpose? Picture anyone in an elite area of their field. Many knew their calling early in life, and some realized after pursuing an entire career that they had a talent that had gone untapped.
Whether they began preparing young or changed paths later in life, they did NOT arrive overnight. This could be the same for you. If you have not yet experienced your spotlight, your purpose may still feel unknown. This “not knowing” may make you feel uneasy and restless, always searching for more. Or, you may be unaware or unwilling to pursue beyond your current situation. Either way, the activities and experiences you are having before the spotlight are preparing, growing, and focusing you for your path ahead.

Elite champions, like you, remain in a competition with themselves. They prepare.
Get Ready
The dictionary definition of preparation is “the process of getting something ready for use or a particular purpose.”
If you are not clear on your purpose, preparing will be difficult. The first step to creating your plan is to determine what is calling you and WHY you want to change. What needs to be different? How will you benefit from the change and why does this drive you? When you know the answer to these questions, the actions you need to make will become clearer.
