My Life Purpose???

For the last few months I have become overly frustrated. I am frustrated because I have realized that I have spent all this money getting a Bachelors degree and I have yet to use it in a career. Today I found a video on You Tube entitled "How to Know Your Life Purpose in 5 Minutes..." It really was an inspiring video.

Adam Leipzig, the speaker, said that he went to a reunion at Yale and about 80% of the people at the reunion had still not discovered their life purpose. He said that the 20% of those who knew their life purpose could answer 5 simple questions.

• Who are you?
• What do you love to do?
• Who do you do it for?
• What do those people want or need?
• How does what you do benefit or change those people as a result?

So I thought about those questions for a moment. Here is what I come up with.

I am Kaitlin. I love to research about education, nutritional health, and  general wellness. I do it for myself first, my family and friends second. These people all need to know the truth about the current educational and nutritional system and the lies we as a society have been told. I want to uncover these truths to improve their quality of life. If they follow the advice I give more than likely they will gain outstanding health and wellness as well as an improved quality of life through knowledge and application. 

 

Here's the fun part. Now, that I understand this is what I love to do how do I apply it in my life to make it a career? Who will hire me for my knowledge and research skills? Do I need to start my own business? How do I do that with insufficient income? If I do start a business how do I incorporate my ideas to help others? I've thought about becoming a Health and Life Coach and there are online schools out there to enhance my skills but I can't afford them and they don't accept financial aid. Where do I go from here?

 

I would love to here your comments on this issue. 

A New Journey

I am ready for change.
I am tired of feeling sluggish.
I am tired of being overweight.
I am tired of not being fit.
I want to eat better. I want to live longer. I want to be in good shape.
I want to prevent sickness and disease.

Ok, so I realize that it's definitely not New Years, but I am making a mid-year resolution to get into better shape. The realization has officially set in that I can no longer fit into clothes that I love and I am not willing nor able to buy a new wardrobe. I have found some amazing people on Youtube that have shared their fitness routines and eating ideas that I plan on implementing.

I plan to weigh in soon and I will let everyone know my first goal.
Generally speaking I want to gain lean muscle, lose fat, and fit into most of the clothes in my closet.
Each year I tell myself that I am going to do this and every year I don't do it. I always blame it on something.
 I plan on getting back to blogging regularly and using this as a way to hold myself accountable for my journey. I hope to post healthy recipes, my tips, my struggles, etc. Friends, I am pretty sure I need to lose between 80 and 100 pounds to be in my ideal range. I need your support. I need your encouragement. I am going to do this with support or without, but without will be a lot more difficult.
