PEARLS OF WISDOM: “Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money” Part 3 of 3 from Molly Burke, Queen of Confidence

This is an ongoing series of posts on various subjects for which I lacked a decent Google-searchable keyword title. Searching Google for ideas produced, “PEARLS OF WISDOM”, which has such a rich flavor of hubris and chuzpah that I just HAD to use it.

This is the third and last post in the series, “Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money”, about the phenomenon of male mid life crisis.

Sometimes, changing circumstances are absolutely necessary to one’s growth, health and general well being. Some other times, the only thing necessary for empowerment is to change one’s perspective. Actually, the latter is true most of the time. But only by becoming clear about Self (Life Purpose, spiritual center, etc.) and taking the time and effort to clearly identify the underlying core values that need to be honored in order to be truly happy, will anyone be able to make the best decisions about what to change and what to cultivate.

How does all this relate to Life Purpose? Well, when a person is clear about their purpose, decision making becomes easier and inbued with a sense of “right direction”. The results from actions taken in accordance with their authentic core are much more likely to be directly forwarding as well as immediately and ultimately rewarding. Making the best choices regarding what to do, what to study, which relationships serve and which alliances hinder, inner clarity, all spring naturally from a place of conscious context (Life Purpose).

Speaking from my years of experience as a life coach and counselor, people who are clear about their Life Purpose make FAR fewer stupid mistakes, and the mistakes they do make are less encompassing in scale than the ones they made before they did this important work for themselves.

What I’ve noticed personally is that the men who are aware of and act in accordance with their Life Purpose are much more likely to avoid the worst of the mid life crisis syndrome. Men -must- live purposefully in order to be fulfilled. Period. This critical piece of self awareness saves time and money, increases love, boosts energy, lessens suffering and provides an internal wellspring of positive motivation.

This work rocks. It changes lives.

What might be possible if you were clear about your Life Purpose?
