Your NORTH STAR?

 

Your NORTH STAR?  WHETHER your NORTH STAR is a dream, your goal OR your lifetime inspiration, you're right, we've got to have that NORTH STAR in life!  For alignment, NORTH STAR is metaphorically defined as something that could represent your core values, your guiding principles OR even your overaching purpose that provides direction and meaning to your life.  Assuming you're NOT consciously aware of your NORTH STAR, let's go📘📙📗

The reality, however, is that [culling from my past experiences] many of us [at one point I was guilty of this] really DON'T take the time to think about WHAT fuels them, WHAT guides them, and WHAT they were put on this planet to achieve, if at all.  It's true life has a way of keeping us distracted and focused only on the moment.  Day after day and week after week, many people go to work without much thought of anything else.  That's sad, right❌❌❌

BUT I beg to defer that by default, we should really live life like that, right?  Because I believe we are built to do so much more than just to simply survive.  Because we are built to thrive and build a life that we love, NOT just make a living.  One of the true joys really living life is to be of help to anyone other than yourself.  And it's even heartwarming WHEN I end up helping someone WHICH, as an afterthought, I believe that helping is one of my NORTH STARs😁😁😁

Frankly, finding your NORTH STAR would VERY LIKELY help you live a more purposeful life, NOT to say that you are NOT living one now BUT somehow it gives us a reference point to keep ourselves moving in the right direction.  And it DOESN'T mean that life ISN'T still challenging.  Of course, we all have our UPs and DOWNs BUT it's entirely different if we're living with a purpose because by then, it will be much easier for us to stay on track and weather the storms that come our way.  That's WHEN our NORTH STAR really comes into the equation😔😔😔

Our takeaway:  Now let's drill and dice things because we can keep repeating NORTH STAR but it might sound hollow.  Instead, we can do a pulse check of ourselves and ask ourselves, WHAT gets you motivated and WHAT gets you inspired?  And WHAT are the causes and beliefs that will get you out of bed in the morning, rain OR shine, fired up and ready to go?  Yes, DON'T be surprised if you realize that your passion about causes and beliefs DON'T even tie up to your work BUT it could be your NORTH STAR!!!
