get back up again. You're wearing a little messed up baby. It's never getting boring when we Keep coming for the stars, just you and me. Ooh, we always get back up again, you and me, ooh, ooh, ooh, baby, you and me. Welcome to day 18 of 21 Days Together. Today I'm going to talk about finding new purpose. Life is an ever-evolving journey and at times like this, when our children have left the nest, we often find ourselves at crossroads, seeking a new sense of purpose and direction. Whether triggered by empty nesting or another major life event like a career transition or simply that feeling of stagnation, the search for renewed meaning can be both daunting and also invigorating. Embracing the process of exploring opportunities and passions is a transformative path that can lead to a fulfilling and purposeful life. Change is a natural part of life and transitions, although sometimes challenging, are the milestones that mark our growth. While facing uncertainty can be quite unsettling, it is also an opportunity to redefine our purpose and align it with our evolving self. Embracing change requires courage and a willingness to let go of the familiar. I know it can be so daunting, but the reward is that in doing this, we can open ourselves to new possibilities and self-discovery In the pursuit of a new purpose. Once the kids have left, it's essential to take time for introspection. Reflect on your core values, your beliefs and priorities. What truly matters to you, what brings you joy and fulfillment. Identify the aspects of your life that resonate deeply with your being, as well as those that no longer serve you. Are you doing something because it's habitual or because you're on autopilot, so to speak? This self-awareness forms the foundation For creating a path toward opportunities that align with your authentic self. Passions are the fire within us that ignites enthusiasm and drive. They make your heart smile and your soul sing. Sometimes, though, they may have lain dormant or undiscovered due to the demands of daily mum life or societal expectations. Exploring your passions involves reconnecting With your inner child, the part of you that once pursued interests With curiosity and wonder. Engaging activities that spark excitement and curiosity, whether it's diving into a new hobby, volunteering for a cause you care about, or maybe revisiting forgotten passions, these experiences can reveal new dimensions of yourself and your purpose. Finding a new purpose often involves taking risks and stepping out of your comfort zone. While it's natural to feel hesitant about change, remember that growth seldom occurs In the realm of familiarity. What is that saying? Oh, yes, it's. Life begins at the edge of your comfort zone. Assess the risks that may be associated with exploring new opportunities, but also recognize the potential rewards that lie on the other side. Calculated risks are about making informed decisions and trusting your gut. Embrace the idea that failure is a part of the learning process and it can be an invaluable teacher on the road to self-discovery. The journey of exploring opportunities and passions is a learning experience. Each step, whether successful or challenging, contributes to your personal growth. Be open to acquiring new skills, knowledge and perspectives. See guidance from mentors or like-minded people who have walked similar paths. Embrace the process of continuous learning and view setbacks as opportunities for growth rather than obstacles. Finding new purpose is a process that requires patience and resilience. It's essential to recognize that the path may not be straight and there will be ups and downs along the way. Please be gentle with yourself during moments of uncertainty, but also celebrate every small victory and must-one achieved. Embrace the journey as an adventure, trusting that it will lead you to where you are meant to be. Life has a way of presenting us with unexpected opportunities and connections. Be open to serendipity, those chance encounters, unplanned events and synchronicities that can lead you down unexpected and fulfilling paths. Embrace the idea that the universe may be guiding you toward your true purpose and be open to receive its signs and signals. While the destination is essential, savouring the journey is equally valuable. Finding a new purpose is not a destination with a fixed end point. It's an evolving and ongoing process. Embrace each moment, cultivate mindfulness and be present in the exploration of opportunities and passions. The journey itself holds valuable experiences and life lessons that enrich your sense of purpose. Embracing the quest for a new purpose in the emptiness phase is a profound and transformative journey, one that invites you to explore the depths of your being and cover your passions and embrace change with resilience. By reflecting on your values, taking calculated risks and savouring the journey, you open yourself up to a life with meaning and fulfillment. Embrace the adventure of self-discovery and trust that the process of exploring opportunities and passions will lead you to a purpose that aligns with the very essence of who you are. Remember you've got this Until tomorrow. Thank you.
