- All right, welcome to this first video
on what is a purpose?
And how the heck do you uncover your purpose?
And I just wanna show you where I am.
I've come to Longsands beach in Tynemouth,
which is in the northeast of England.
It is absolutely beautiful.
And I've come down to film the sunrise this morning,
but also to explain to you what a purpose is
and why I know you have a unique and compelling purpose.
Let's go.
(uplifting music)
I know you can see on the camera
the views of the sea and the sky behind me,
but I just wish you were here, live.
It'll be so much better so you could actually see it,
smell the sea air, feel that breeze.
Even though it's a bit colder now, it is amazing.
(uplifting music)
So what is purpose, first of all?
Well, let me tell you that, each and everyone of us
has a unique and compelling purpose.
So I was put on this earth for a reason, and so were you.
But, here's the thing,
the nature of our purpose is the same,
and our purpose is to become the highest expression
of who we are.
It's to express ourselves fully in the world
and be in alignment with who we truly are.
But, what makes our purpose unique is our story
It's our life, it's the way we bring it to the world.
What I like to say to people in DARETOGROW /
(makes slashing noise) The Online Course,
is that there's a group of people out there right now,
waiting for exactly what you've got to offer,
and I can never reach those people
because I don't have your story,
I don't have your background, I don't have your personality
and your aura, but in the same token,
you can never reach the people I'm gonna help
because you don't have my story and my background.
So we all have a unique and compelling purpose.
Our shared purpose is to become the fullest expression
of who we are, and I'll explain that in a second.
But what makes it unique is our stories.
And this is why our stories and what we've been through,
as hard as it's been, is so important.
So the idea of purpose fascinates me
and, honestly, I didn't know purpose existed,
I didn't know there was another way to live your life,
until about three years ago.
I had my spiritual needeth experience on this run,
and I went on this journey to waking up,
to raising my consciousness, to realizing
that the life I'd been living was actually a trap.
It was a false life, it wasn't truth.
It wasn't what's real in the world.
So let me go into that, just for a second.
Now, you'll all accept that we have grown up in a world
where we've been taught how to behave, how to live.
So you get born into a family, our families love us,
they raise us, they look after us,
and because we wanna be loved,
because we wanna be safe, we conform.
We do what they expect of us.
And that might mean behaving in school,
getting a certain job, getting married, having kids,
getting a mortgage, and settling down.
But what if our life was meant to be different?
What if our path on this earth was different
to that that was expected by our parents,
by our school teachers?
And the funny thing is, when we leave school,
we go into the world of work and we do exactly the same.
So we go into the world of work,
we get given a job description, we get given objectives,
and our managers and the company and the culture say
you must behave this way in order to progress,
in order to succeed, in order to get a promotion.
So constantly, we round off our edges
and we blend in, and we do what's expected of us to conform.
Now over a week or a month,
you don't really notice a difference,
but over five years, 10 years, 15 years, for some of us,
you realize you've started to come away from who you are,
until one day, you wake up and you start asking, who am I?
Where have I gone?
What am I doing with my life?
And the fundamental question,
there must be more to life than this.
And I know I can't be the only person
who's asked that question, but the really cool thing is,
when you start asking questions like who am I?
What is this all about?
There must be more to life than this.
You're life is about to change
because they are the exact questions
that will lead you to your purpose.
So we've all been built into this system
where magazines tell us to look this way,
jobs tell us to behave that way,
parents want us to marry this particular person,
but it's not the truth of who we are.
In order to uncover who we are,
we've gotta find a way to drown out those outside voices,
those outside influences,
and tune in and turn up the voice inside.
Because here's the truth of it, okay?
We all have a unique and compelling purpose,
we accept this much now.
We all have a unique and compelling purpose,
but nobody can tell you what your purpose is but you.
Okay, it's really important, nobody can tell you
what your purpose is but you.
But the difficult thing about it is
we've literally been raised and trained
to ask the other person for advice.
You know, dear manager, who am I?
What do I need to do to progress?
Dear teacher, have I done well in my exams?
Do you think I'll be able to get into university?
Yo mom, yo dad, what do you think of my life?
Do you approve?
So we're constantly being trained
and, in fact, I'll give you another one.
Magazines, do I look the way I'm supposed to look?
Am I attractive by your standards?
We've literally stopped asking ourselves
who we are and what we're about.
And we look externally, we look beyond us
for explanations, for guidance, for direction,
for the next logical step.
Let me tell you this,
there ain't nothing logical about your purpose.
It is gonna surprise you in ways I can't even explain.
But, the truth of the matter is,
nobody can tell you what your purpose is.
You're the only person who knows.
So the trick to uncovering your purpose,
is finding a way to drown out the outside voices,
stop worrying what other people think.
Get quiet, go within and ask yourself, who am I?
Why am I here?
What am I here to do?
And the reason I've come to the beach to film today
is because being here is part of my purpose.
It's mad but for some reason,
I feel compelled to pick up a camera.
I feel compelled to make these videos.
And I can't explain it, but now that things are starting
to come together with the vlogs
and the people I'm influencing
and the people I'm able to touch and help in this world,
I'm starting to understand it.
So I get up at 5:00 a.m. and I come down,
just because my body tells me to.
My heart says, Lisa, go and film these beautiful scenes,
go and film the sunrise,
because filming and videography and telling the story
is part of how I bring my purpose to the world.
So, first clue for you there, if you follow your passion,
it will lead you to your purpose.
But that's enough on the beach,
it's starting to get a bit cold.
Let's go back to the studio and I'm gonna give you
three ways to start uncovering your purpose today.
All right, welcome to my home studio.
So this is a place at home, in our flat,
where it's like an office, it's a studio,
and I wanted this for as long as I can remember,
probably three years, to create videos, to create content,
and just have a space that was mine to be creative.
So, I thought we'd come in from the cold,
'cause it is getting a bit nippy out there,
and I wanna share with you three ways,
three practicable ways,
you can begin figuring out what your purpose is, today.
Okay, so we're gonna start simple and work up, okay?
So the first way you can begin uncovering your purpose
is to honor your preferences,
and this is really, really basic,
but I want you to ask yourself whether you do this, okay?
You know when you go to a restaurant and friends say,
oh, we'll just share this plater,
and you think I don't actually want that, I want this,
but you go, yeah okay, go on then, we'll just share it.
Or somebody says, lets go to the cinema,
we're gonna see this program or this movie,
and you think, ah, it's not really my first choice
but, whatever, for the group, I'll go and do that.
Or somebody offers you something,
it can be silly like, you go to an event
and there's a choice of a red folder or a blue folder,
and you really want a red folder
but all the folders are gone,
so you just stick with the blue folder.
Every day when we deny what we want,
every day when we give up our preferences
to go with the crowd, to make other people happy,
to avoid being a pain in the backside,
we're ignoring our purpose.
And I know that sounds really simple,
but in order to uncover your purpose,
you've gotta trust yourself, you've gotta honor yourself,
and you've gotta listen.
So, if every time your purpose or your preference,
or who you are says, I want that one, I want that one!
And you ignore it,
what happens is the voice inside stops speaking.
It's not as loud as it once was,
because if you're not gonna listen,
why would it bother speaking to you?
So for so many of us, when we begin asking the question
what is my purpose, why am I here?
This little voice inside, our purpose, our spirit,
our intuition, our gut, it's kinda like,
oh, whoa, hang on, are you talking to me?
Because you haven't listened to me for years.
So the first thing, and I said I was starting easy,
but I wonder, honestly, let me know in the comments
if you do this.
The first step to uncovering your purpose
is to start honoring your preferences.
And it's harder than you think, okay?
So, next time you go to a restaurant
and somebody suggests a bottle of wine you don't like,
or a group plater which you don't want,
or someone says we're gonna to to the cinema
and this is the movie.
If you don't wanna watch that movie,
speak up and say, actually, I'd rather watch this movie.
Who wants to come and watch this movie with me?
Because you've gotta start trusting yourself again.
You've gotta start honoring your preferences.
Next time you try it, just remember this video
and remember it is harder than it seems,
it's harder than it sounds,
but it'll bring you one step closer
to uncovering your purpose.
Okay, second one, which I really like
'cause I'm a coach by trade, I spent years
training as a coach and I guess it's in my nature
to coach people and help them get what they want
out of their lives, and for me, questions are so powerful.
I think it was Tony Robbins who said,
"Questions direct our focus
"and that's why they're so important in our lives."
So the second way is to get quiet
and ask the right questions.
So if you ask things like, how did my life get this way?
Or what have I done to deserve this?
Or why does this keep happening to me?
The quality of the question isn't good.
It can only possibly give you negative answers,
answers that further compound your situation,
answers that prove something you've done
or haven't done that got you there.
Leave it, there's no point going down that path.
A better quality question is why am I here?
What would I do if I wasn't afraid?
If somebody-- if I guaranteed your success
and said whatever you try, it's gonna work,
not making that guarantee, life's a journey.
But lets say I were to guarantee your success
or you got a magic wand or three wishes,
what would you attempt if you knew you couldn't fail?
If it was a guaranteed success.
Like, write these questions down.
Just hit pause and write them down in your journal,
notepad, phone, whatever, and take them with you
over the next few weeks and just get quiet.
So a few more questions for you,
what did I love to do as a child
that I've stopped doing as an adult?
So as a child, I would get all of my cousins round
at my Nanna's in Newcastle, Howdon if you know it,
on a Saturday, and I'd be so excited.
I'd get the betting slips, which when I was younger,
they had like a duplicate copy,
and I'd make exams, I'd make tests and worksheets
for my cousins, aka, my students,
and I would teach them about maths, two plus two is four.
And I would literally enjoy making these worksheets
or whatever you wanna call them.
I'd enjoy teaching them and then I would enjoy marking
these sheets afterwards, and it's no wonder,
am I not a teacher now?
What you did as a kid,
there are clues as to what your purpose is.
So what did you do as a kid that you no longer do now?
Because there's clues there.
Also, look at where you go.
If you go to the bookshop, if you go to a magazine shop,
there's magazines you should probably get
for your trade, for your industry.
What magazines are you always drawn to?
Is it fitness? Is it health?
Is it crafting?
Is it childcare? Is it animals?
There's a clue there, your passion, your purpose
is always pulling you to what you'd enjoy,
to what you'd love, so listen to that,
pay attention to that.
Another question, and I love this question, okay?
Another question is what do I wanna change in the world?
What can't I stand, what drives me mad?
If only I were brave enough, what would I change?
And this is a good one because, for me, I'm quite mellow.
I might seem full on here but I'm quite mellow.
I'm like, yeah easy going, go with the flow,
as long as it's not to do with the cinema or meals,
anything else, I'm pretty chilled.
But if somebody's mean to somebody else,
if I see somebody bully somebody
or tell somebody else it can't be done,
this rage boils up inside me and it spills out of me.
And I can't help but go to the person
who said it can't be done and challenge them,
politely, professionally.
And I wanna find the person who's been told it can't be done
and help them feel, again, that it's possible,
that anything's possible in their lives.
So what do you wanna change in the world?
What's the one thing that drives you mad?
Because there's a clue to your purpose in there.
I could give you a hundred questions
but that's enough for now.
Hope you've written them all down and honestly,
promise me, take them around
in your notebook with you, ask them.
And the key to getting quiet is, it's hard to do it at work,
it's hard to do it at the end of a busy day.
But what happens if you had a nice long bath
and let all of those questions just ruminate
while you're in the bath?
What if you went for a run or to the beach
and you looked out to the sea
with one of those questions in mind?
What if you meditated and meditated on that question?
That's what I mean by get quiet,
shut out the outside noise, tune in
and listen to what your heart, your soul, your gut,
your spirit, inspiration, whatever you wanna call it.
What do you wanna do?
What do you wanna do with your life?
What would you do if you weren't afraid?
Okay, third thing for uncovering your purpose
and living a life of purpose is to follow the inspiration.
So, have you ever had that moment where you're drifting off
to sleep and you get this idea for a book, or a chapter,
or an event you could run, or a course you could launch,
or a product you could build,
or something you wanna create in the world?
And when the inspiration comes up, be like,
oh, I'm so motivated, this is awesome!
Tomorrow, I'm gonna get up at five and I'm gonna act on it.
The alarm goes off at five and you think, crazy!
Ain't doing that now!
The key to uncovering your purpose
and building a life of passion,
is to act on the inspiration the moment it appears
because inspiration, for me,
I believe that's co-creation in the universe.
I believe that when inspiration comes up,
it's your soul, it's your gut, it's your spirit,
whatever you wanna call it, it's your intuition saying
this is a good idea, that is the path for you.
It's a message, it's guidance because, you know,
in The Alchemist, this amazing book by Paulo Coelho.
If you've never read it, it's such a good read.
It's so good that when people join my online course,
which I call DARETOGROW / (makes slashing noise)
The Online Course, that's a forward slash if you don't know.
I send a copy of this book, a beautiful hardback copy.
It's compulsory reading.
Even if they've read it before, I say read it again.
So in the book it says, "What you seek is seeking you",
and it's true.
In my life now, the more I step into my purpose,
the more I express myself,
the more opportunities come my way.
It's like the Law of Attraction, it's amazing.
But you've gotta become the person
by acting on the inspiration.
So if you want something in you life,
like you wanna change something major about your life,
and I'm gonna talk about this in the next video,
but just to give you a clue,
if you wanna change something major in your life,
you can't ask for it, think about it,
vibrate on that frequency, and expect it to come by itself.
This is what people don't understand
about the Law of Attraction,
what you've gotta do is think about it, want it, ask for it,
expect to get it because you deserve it,
but then when inspiration strikes,
take action on the inspiration
because that is the road map to getting it.
So next time you get an idea for a blog, or a story,
or you wanna message a friend,
or you're gonna go to that event,
please, before your ego brain kicks in,
just trust your gut, trust yourself.
Know that this is guidance for you to live a life of purpose
and take action on inspiration.
And, even, it can come in the form of self-expression.
So, for me, I wanted to get my hair cut like this
for a long time but I couldn't do it
because I had corporate clients,
I knew my family wouldn't like it, my parents in particular,
they like me with nice long blonde hair.
I just thought, oh Lisa, it's a bit out there
but I wanted it, I wanted it, I wanted it.
And then, finally, when I plucked up the courage
to get my hair cut, oh my God!
I walked out of that salon like (sighs in relief),
I just felt like, not a new women, I felt like me.
I felt like me, so uncovering your purpose
and living a life of passion.
Part of it is following the inspiration that comes up.
Sometimes the inspiration is do this, write that book,
or whatever, but sometimes the inspiration is
say that thing, cut your hair, move to that location.
Trust your gut because it is your path unfolding.
And Steve Jobs once said,
"You can't join up the dots with conforming,
"but you'll join them up looking backwards".
Let me finish with this, this is my definition of happiness.
For me, happiness is coming back into alignment
with who you are, expressing yourself,
showing up in the world how you wanna show up,
and being brave enough to build a life around it.
It's coming back into alignment with yourself
and being brave enough to build a life around it.
All right, that was a jam-packed video.
I hope it's helped, let me know in the comments.
I'd love your feedback.
And hang tight, watch out for the next video,
How to Change Your Life, this one is mad.
