My purpose is….
By Lee Ann | September 20, 2008
It can and will be felt by you when you reach the truth. If you think it has to be a lofty “Mother Theresa” or “Ghandi” type goal - here’s one for you. Michael Jordan’s said that his purpose was to play basketball. Not a purpose to change the world - but it was what he feels he was put on the planet to do…
I am on a purpose hunt right now, have been for the past 3 or 4 months. It may take time to reveal itself - but, I have no doubt it’s there. Why?
Because I have had moments where time stopped, where I was so engrossed and happy to be doing what I was doing. I was a talk show radio producer and worked an eight hour shift from six pm to 2 am . And, there were may nights when the 2 am producer either didn’t show up or called to say they couldn’t work. So, guess who filled it? That meant that I worked 16 hours answering the phone, queuing up spots, monitoring the broadcast for content and to bleep out any “bad” words, contacting celebrities for the programs, etc. 16 hours straight and loved it.
So, I know that I don’t want to be a talk show producer again - however, there is some valuable info that I can pull out of the tasks that i was doing to show me my purpose.
What could you do for 16 hours straight and be so in love with it that you didn’t feel it was “work”. There are clues…
