Weekly Live Show Recap - Ep. 11 - Multiple Life Purposes - Ft. Krista Samimi

Introduction:

In continuation of our last discussion where we spoke about how our life purpose and passions may evolve into other passions or grow, in this discussion we explore if it’s possible at all to have more than a singular passion or life purpose.

Many people struggle to come to terms with their inner self-discovery and awareness to search for their meaning and purpose by thinking that they may be stuck in one profession or life course. This week we discuss with our special guest her journey how she came to discover her life purpose by trying out different things while still enjoying each step of the journey in discovery.

Owning our Condition:

• Owning our conditions but don’t allow them to label you and withhold you from moving forward 
• Pivoting isn’t a harsh movement. It’s a slow transition from one thing to the next. 
• Giving ourselves the time to let the changes happen will allow us to reach further than trying to force the change. 
• The better you take care of yourself the more you can move away from the “diagnosis”

Watch the recap below: 

The Art of Pivoting:

• Pivoting happens when we outgrow a certain purpose or role and we pivot to be able to grow beyond the limitations. 
• You can grow and realize that something isn’t for you and that will encourage the pivot. 
• Pivoting means being open to whatever is supposed to come next
• We learn to level up in our purpose and that’s where the pivot comes in. 
• Sometimes we will try to make a pivot when we aren’t ready and it won’t work out, but just because it doesn’t work out then doesn’t mean it can’t work out later.

Listening To Your Gut:

• Your gut sends signals to your brain and the rest of the body telling what it needs.  

Taking care of your gut will affect how you feel

• Good food
• Good nutrients 
• Lowering stress 

• Listening to your gut means being self-aware and asking yourself the questions and seeking answers. 
• Look inside yourself for the answers instead of looking outside.

Doing The Same Thing Forever:

• We get one go at this life so why not make it memorable. 
• There are so many opportunities out there of ways to make money so why not do something you enjoy. 
• Business and the world of business are changing. More things are moving online and so more opportunities are presenting themselves. 
• Release the HOW of what it is you want to manifest and just open yourself to it. 
• Through your happiness, you will achieve the success you want. But happiness comes before success. 
• You don’t have to do the same thing forever. It just takes time to transition. 
• Set up your life intentionally.

Watch the recap below:

The Bottom Line: 

The 3 main takeaway points were: 

• We may need to go through a journey of multiple purposes, to find the one that we are most passionate about. 
• Self-Awareness is when we dig deep into ourselves and feel our gut guiding us.
• It’s not so much about the “How” we get to our destination, but the mere fact that we are on the journey to discovering our true inner purpose.
