it seems pretty amazing to think that you could discover your life's purpose
and three minutes five minutes seven minutes but I was looking on YouTube to
see what was being offered on this subject and the first top videos which
means those are the videos that people are watching the most were videos making
claims that you could find your life's purpose and discover your life's purpose
and sometimes under five minutes as little as three minutes sometimes seven
minutes and I was looking at that I was thinking is that really possible can you
really do that and the question is not a great question to tell you the truth and
the answer is a pretty unsatisfactory answer there's a yes to it and there's a
note to it but for but it's really hard to come up with a good question
regarding this because this is obviously something that's very important to us
meaning and purpose in life and feeling like we even matter this is really
important and that's what gets us caught in this question of what's my life's
purpose and then the reason why it's not a great question is because it implies
that your life's purpose is sort of somewhere out there for you to find and
that it's like a thing so I have to go out there and find my life's purpose and
then take it home with me and even though there might not be exactly what
you're consciously thinking when you ask that question but it's it's what it
implies and what it implies often has unconscious implications to it so that's
kind of how we think about it now like I said this is obviously something that's
important to people we need the film we need to feel like we matter we need to
feel like what we do has meaning we need to feel like our life
has purpose and even people like Viktor Frankl wrote about this you can almost
get through anything man can get through so much suffering if he or she feels
like their life has meaning and purpose so he in his situation he was talking
about the Holocaust the Holocaust and he was in a concentration camp and he was
able to find meaning and purpose and even happiness in a concentration camp
that's pretty amazing but it just goes to show you with the
human condition it tells you something about the human condition we've all had
the experience of feeling like our life doesn't have meaning or it doesn't have
purpose and this is really what cults pretty on people who feel like they have
no meaning in their life and they have no purpose because people who feel that
way are often in search of something and they're very vulnerable to being
manipulated so here comes this group of this cult and gives them some sense of
meaning and purpose or they are told you matter to us and the Guru makes them
feel special in some way and those people will often defend the the
movement that occult the system whatever it is to the death because they would
rather die than give up the meaning of their life or the purpose of their life
there are definitely times where you felt like your life had meaning and
purpose and it also probably felt like it was quite fleeting and capricious as
soon as you tried to get your hands on it it slipped down like a slimy fish
it's when we've had those feelings of meaning and purpose we often want to
hold on to it but it still goes away anyway and we're like you know what just
happened what many people will do is because it seems to be fleeting and I
can they don't it doesn't seem to be coming from within or if it comes from
within they don't really they can't get a handle on it they will seek outside
means feeling like they have meaning and purpose and value in their life so here
it is the under five minutes yes answer to finding your life's purpose you will
find your life's purpose in what you value it is really that simple so why
isn't everybody doing it because most people's values are deeply unconscious
that it almost seems like it's hidden from them and again this is why meaning
and purpose seem to be seem to come and go so quickly is because when you
experience it you don't know why you're experiencing it I can tell you why
you're experiencing it because for those moments or even days weeks or months
your behavior your attitude and your mindsets are aligned with your highest
values when that happens meaning purpose your life mattering all of that will
happen immediately and automatically it just happens why well because you are
aligned in your congruent with what you value most so it couldn't really be any
other way now the mystery is about this is then again most people don't know
what their values are if they knew what their values were then they can align
themselves better to it or they could they could be more conscious about doing
it and they could also know hey we mind when I start to feel that feeling of my
life is meaningless and purposeless well I know I'm not aligned with my values I
need to go back okay what are my values and what am i doing in my life to align
with them so it's more of a doing rather than a being and it's about knowing what
those values are and aligning yourself to it when you break your own rules when
you act in a way that is opposite to what you value yeah you feel down about
yourself you your life could feel meaningless and that's a scary place to
be like I said we've all done it before we've all been there
what is the purpose of my life was something I was a question that I that I
was plagued with until I started learning NLP and then I learned about
value solicitation and then later when I learned Steve Andria's the self-concept
model I really learned why this was so important and his his take on it is that
this is where self esteem is created and of course that is true but I would go
further than that and say this is where fulfillment has created this is worth
purpose is created this is where your life starts to take on a feeling of
meaning and that you matter eliciting your your values knowing what they are
aligning yourself to it realizing that when you're not acting in that way or
you're acting opposed on a win it opposes your values that is what makes
fill down that's what makes you feel meaningless so you're not going to find
your life's purpose at the end of a workshop you're not going to find it
during a spiritual quest or at the end of a spiritual quest you don't have to
do crazy things to prove yourself or to a guru you don't have to walk on hot
coals to find your life's purpose it's already there in here you just need to
discover what it is you value and when you realize what that is and you align
yourself to those values there's not even a question of what's my purpose or
does my life matter or does my life have meaning it doesn't even come up really
because you're you're in it you're doing it it's just natural you're feeling it
it's kind of like flow when you're in flow you don't question am i doing this
right or am i doing this when all you're just simply doing it check out my
website NLP - Jim comm follow me on Facebook for real-time updates on
upcoming talks and I'm doing or workshops or even online trainings that
I'm launching also if you haven't subscribed to this channel yet please
subscribe right now so you can get these videos on a regular basis and if you

you'll notice there is some free NLP training especially for people who
aren't sure if they want to do NLP training or if they want to actually pay
for a workshop or an online training this is a great start so I have sensory
acuity and calibration training which is a foundational skill and learning NLP
unfortunately a lot of NLP errs when they start learning NLP they jump past
that foundational skill is something you learn in the beginning but it has to be
cultivated it has to be practice also I have two free hypnotic inductions the
first one is about more self esteem and understanding your values and aligning
yourself to your values so it's really appropriate for this video right now
which will give you greater purpose and then also have a second hypnotic
induction that has to do with relieving stress and getting a better night's
sleep it goes a little bit deeper than that but check out the induction there
both of them are free and the sensory acuity and calibration training is also
free so dive in take advantage of that and
I'll see you in the next video take care
