Discovering Your Purpose and Mission: Unlocking Your Full Potential

 Discovering  Your Purpose and Mission: Unlocking Your Full Potential 

Raj Kumar Dham Life Coach, Mentor of Change, and Trustee People's Trust 

The purpose of life is to find your gift. The meaning of life is to give it away." - Pablo Picasso

Having a purpose and mission in life is essential for achieving success, happiness, and fulfillment. It gives us direction, motivation, and a sense of meaning. When we have a clear purpose, we are more focused, driven, and inspired to take action.

The Concept of Ikigai

Ikigai is a Japanese concept that roughly translates to "reason for being." It's the idea of finding purpose and meaning in life by intersecting five key elements:

1. What you are good at (your skills and talents)

2. What you love doing (your passions and interests)

3. What the world needs (your contribution to society)

4. What you can be paid for (your profession or career)

5. What you can do (your mission and purpose)

Taking it Forward with Two Powerful Questions

While Ikigai provides a framework for discovering our purpose, our two questions take it forward by helping us tap into our deepest desires and aspirations:

1. "What would you love to do if there was no failure?"

2. "What do you want people to remember you for?"

Reflecting on these questions can help you identify your passions, values, and strengths, and give you a sense of direction and purpose.

 How BMP Helps in Achieving Your Purpose and Mission

BMP uses the power of imagination, Automatic Goal-Striving Mechanism (AGSM), and Programmed Success to help you overcome obstacles and achieve your goals.

 The Power of Imagination

"Imagination is the beginning of creation. You imagine what you desire, you will what you imagine, and at last, you create what you will." - George Bernard Shaw

Imagination is a powerful tool that can help you visualize your goals and desires. By vividly imagining yourself achieving your purpose and mission, you can tap into your subconscious mind and unlock your full potential.
