<\/a><\/p>\n

Do you feel unhappy about the life you\u2019re currently living?<\/p>\n

Do you feel like you can contribute more?<\/p>\n

Is your heart yearning to express your potential, but doubt stops you from truly taking action?<\/p>\n

You\u2019re not alone.<\/p>\n

These are the beginning signs that you\u2019re ready to live a purpose driven life. You\u2019re ready to follow your passion and share your gifts.<\/p>\n

But it isn\u2019t always easy.<\/p>\n

You\u2019re not sure if you\u2019re good enough.<\/p>\n

You don\u2019t know where to start.<\/p>\n

And you\u2019re scared out of your mind.<\/p>\n

But don\u2019t worry, because you\u2019re on the right track. Here are 8 signs that you\u2019re ready to start.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

1. Discontent<\/strong><\/p>\n

You\u2019re done with the old way of doing things. You\u2019re ready to step it up.<\/p>\n

You may have once loved your life, but something has changed. You\u2019ve changed. You\u2019re ready for something new.<\/p>\n

You\u2019re ready to live a purpose driven life.<\/p>\n

You may not know what that looks like yet, but you\u2019re ready. You can feel it deep down.<\/p>\n

2. Determination<\/strong><\/p>\n

You\u2019re so sick of being stuck that you\u2019re determined to move forward.<\/p>\n

I call this ruthless determination. It happened to me when I had been feeling called to do something bigger.<\/p>\n

I waited for several years, because I doubted myself. One day, I woke up and I just started. I didn\u2019t care about failing, because I was going to take action one way or another.<\/p>\n

I wanted to see what would happen.<\/p>\n

And I did make plenty of mistakes, but you know what? I learned and moved forward. Today, I get paid to do what I love.<\/p>\n

3. Feeling<\/strong><\/p>\n

Deep down just reading these words feels right.<\/p>\n

There may still be confusion. You may not know where to start, but it feels right in your heart.<\/p>\n

You have the yearning to do something greater, to fulfill your potential, and to live a purpose driven life.<\/p>\n

You are ready.<\/p>\n

And just reading you are ready feels good, doesn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n

4. Expectations<\/strong><\/p>\n

You have the right expectations.<\/p>\n

You know it\u2019s not going to be easy to live a purpose driven life, but you\u2019re ready anyway.<\/p>\n

You\u2019re done with leading a life of comfort and security, which are illusions anyway. You\u2019re ready to take action and follow your passion.<\/p>\n

You\u2019re ready to listen to your heart<\/a>.<\/p>\n

When you have the right expectations, you will succeed.<\/p>\n

You know it\u2019s going to be tough, but that doesn\u2019t matter, because you will keep going.<\/p>\n

5. Fear<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes, fear is another sign<\/a> that you\u2019re ready to follow your purpose.<\/p>\n

You may never be fearless. Fear may always be with you, because you\u2019re human. But that\u2019s fine. Fear doesn\u2019t have to stop you.<\/p>\n

Fear is a sign that you\u2019re exploring new territory. You\u2019re diving into uncertainty, which is another word for possibility.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a sign that you are on the right path.<\/p>\n

If you aren\u2019t a little bit uncomfortable, you are not pushing your boundaries enough.<\/p>\n

6. Life Change<\/strong><\/p>\n

Your life is changing.<\/p>\n

Friends are dropping away. You may lose your job. Change in your life is always pushing you to grow, so ask yourself what it is trying to tell you.<\/p>\n

It may seem bad now, but it won\u2019t be if you go with the flow.<\/p>\n

We need change to keep evolving and to keep life interesting. Be grateful for it and do your best, because that\u2019s all you can do.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t cling to the old. Embrace the new, because you\u2019re ready to do this.<\/p>\n

7. Personal Change<\/strong><\/p>\n

You may also notice that you\u2019re changing on the inside.<\/p>\n

You\u2019re noticing your habitual patterns and conditioning. Maybe you feel the urge to grow personally. You feel the urge to dive into spiritual books or material.<\/p>\n

It feels like you\u2019re ready to find the answer.<\/p>\n

But beware of relying too much on outside information. Listen to your heart when you decide what information you should listen to.<\/p>\n

You are changing. It will be scary, but it will also be exciting.<\/p>\n

8. Action<\/strong><\/p>\n

Last, but not least, you feel the urge to take action.<\/p>\n

Your doubts may be keeping you stuck, but something inside of you keeps nudging you to move forward.<\/p>\n

Listen to that inner voice. Listen to your heart.<\/p>\n

Let your mind go crazy. It\u2019s the panic attack of the mind. The mind will always worry, but your heart is always there ready to guide you.<\/p>\n

So right now, listen to your inner wisdom.<\/p>\n

What is it telling you?<\/p>\n

What do you need to do next, if anything?<\/p>\n

You\u2019re ready to take action<\/a>, and deep down you know that.<\/p>\n

You Are Ready to Live a Purpose Driven Life, Right Now<\/strong><\/p>\n

Finding your life purpose is not about going through countless books. It\u2019s about following your excitement right here, right now.<\/p>\n

You don\u2019t know what the future holds.<\/p>\n

All you can do is do the best you can in this present moment. So listen to your heart, because it is your internal GPS, and it will guide you.<\/p>\n

Your life purpose is to be in this very moment, and to follow your excitement.<\/p>\n

It doesn\u2019t get simpler than that.<\/p>\n

But are you ready to live a purpose driven life<\/a>?<\/p>\n
