Скачать или смотреть Finding Your Life Purpose - Get In Your Lane by Chris Coney

Hi, it's Chris Coney here. As you may or may not know, I love my diagrams, so when I get an insight about a concept or something, I just really love to make a diagram of it. I'm a very, very visual guy, and I like to communicate in visual ways. This one is about life purpose and how the whole thing about life purpose works in my opinion or from my perspective or according to this insight that I've had.

So get this. Point number 1: finding your life purpose is kind of like swimming, and there are these different lanes. See, I've had 6 here. I've numbered them just for illustration purposes. So it's also like swimming in the sense that when you start out, you start out in the shallow part and you go deeper as time goes on. Paddling in the shallow end is fun but it's not very satisfying. And similar with life purpose, in life, we tend to engage in sort of shallow things and that's just a signal that you're still learning to swim in terms of life purpose. The deeper you go in terms of the water and the deeper you go in terms of life purpose, so the depth of what you engage in in life. This'll make more sense in a second.

This red line, this is kind of a path through life, if you like. So I've drawn a bit of a squiggle because that's typically how we go. Lane number 6 is actually your life purpose, but I'll explain that in a second. Now this squiggly line. We all have free will. We can choose to swim in any lane that we like, and we can choose to swim in that lane for as long as we'd like. It's our life at the end of the day. But there is a lane, there is a way of life for each of us individually, that is our life purpose.

This lane here, lane number 6, is a fast lane. It's like a fast-flowing river. Once you're in this lane...and this is the correct lane for you, which is the key point. It's the correct lane for you and this is unique to everyone. You get swept along by the current, and you move through life with ease. Now, your emotions are indicators, and these let you know whether you're in the correct lane or not.

Now, kind of like...you know that hot and cold game? Where if you and I played this game, I'd hide your phone. You'd turn around, close your eyes, I would hide your phone somewhere in the room, and then once I'd hidden it, you'd open your eyes and start searching around. And the only clues I'm able to give you are 'warmer, warmer' or 'colder, colder'. So as you get closer to the item, I say, "warmer, warmer." The further you get, I say, "Colder, colder, ice cold," if you are far away from it. And that's how the game works, and you continue that process until the person finds it. Similarly with this. So your emotion, positive emotion and negative emotion, are like the hot and cold thing. So stuff you feel good about leads you closer to this lane, and the further away you get, the colder you get, the worse you feel. But again, this free will. You can do anything you'd like. Like I said, there is this one lane. Once you find it, you will no. So joy is the indicator that you found the correct lane for you and that exists here.
