My Philosophy in Life – How To Discover Your Purpose!

STEP 1 – Understand your Purpose in Life

Your Purpose in life is – To HELP others

Helping others gives you a sense of purpose and a feeling of happiness and fulfilment

Helping others and GIVING puts you in a position where other people want to help you back! But remember you MUST help others first to have this happen.

STEP 2 – Work out HOW you can BEST HELP OTHERS

What are your strengths? What are you REALLY good at? What is it that makes you different?

Leveraging your strengths makes you happy because you’re doing what you are naturally good at, born to do and love to do!

If you’re good at inspiring others, consciously do more of this every chance you get. If you are good at teaching, teach more! If you love playing a musical instrument, teach someone else how. If you love sport donate some time to coaching athletes.

STEP 3 – No. 1 Key in Successfully HELPING OTHERS IS:

Make what is important to them, important to you and help them make it happen!

Now if you’re struggling to find what you’re good at or how best you can help others… If you are looking for your life purpose, to discover it AND even to turn it into a career…

Then you must not delay.

The way to discover your purpose in life is to first help YOURSELF (do the things you know you should be doing to become the best you). Then help others who are in your life, family, friends, colleagues, career, business, workplace etc RIGHT NOW!

When you apply the above 3 steps into your life you are immediately taking your first steps towards truly discovering your purpose in life and thus onto a path of happiness, fulfilment, peace and success!!

Enjoy helping others today and reaping all the rewards that come with it!

Live Your Best Life!

COMMUNICATION SKILLS: Get To the Point!

Communication Skills - Life Coach Jacqueline Pigdon

Save time everyday by getting to the point! Improve your communication by saying LESS!

I’m all for small talk and chit chat at appropriate times or on a long lazy afternoon chatting to a friend but if you would like others to listen to you more, understand you better and save time then saying less is an important communication skill to have.

Often some people have really important things to say, idea’s, information, instruction and/or direction to share but they bury their words amongst so many other words that what they’re saying is not actually clear.

The drawbacks from talking too much can be:

  • If you fail to get to the point you can risk your ideas being over-looked or going un-noticed. 
  • You say too much trying to justify your point instead of staying it straight you can appear as being convincing instead of speaking with clear confidence and conviction.
  • People can automatically tune out because you have a reputation of going on and on about… well not too much really!  

Why don’t people get to the point more often?

  • They like the sound of their own voice!
  • They feel they have to justify and convince others of their way or point of view
  • They are hiding the truth

Facilitating our Jina Life Coaching Personal Development Programs and in my coaching role I have done a lot of listening to others talk.

Sometimes when listening to a client’s story, amongst all their words I can see the few that actually speak their truth.

I can then summarise this back to the client e.g: So Mary what you’re saying is that you are deciding to either stay with your husband or leave him.

And so many times with big talkers they reply back with oh that’s putting it a bit harsh isn’t it! But it’s in fact exactly what they’re thinking. Because they cover it up with all these other factors and aspects they fail to address their problems because they can’t see their own truth.

Why are people clouded by their own words and conversations they even have with themselves?

They do this so their truth and reality won’t look so bad, won’t be so bad when put into the bigger scheme of things….

The other thing I have noticed about big talkers who fail to get to the point is that they are the ones who struggle the most with getting things done. The just feel so overwhelmed with all the things in their life, all the tasks they need to do to get to their goals.

My advice tips in getting to the point are:

  1. Try getting to the point more often this month.
  2. Keep the social small talk where required but otherwise become conscious of getting straight to the point – just do it for fun and see how it goes for you!
  3. When you are clear with what you say, it means you know exactly what it is you are trying to say. You know how people can talk for half an hour and then say ‘What I’m really trying to say is..’ Well just start there!
  4. You look more confident and in control when you get to the point for clearly you know what you want and where you’re going.

Watch yourself save time for more fun things in your life!
