Starting point is 00:00:00 Welcome to the MWF Motivation Podcast, one of the top-rated motivational podcasts in the world. Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, I come out with a short, to-the-point, no-BS podcast designed to transform you from who you are today into who you want to be. There's no fluff here, just life-changing content. My name is Rob Dial, and the podcast starts now. Welcome to today's episode, if you have not yet done so.

Starting point is 00:00:41 Today, I'm going to be talking about something that's near and dear to my heart, and that is basically how to find your passion, but also at the same time how to, and this is going to be different than other ways of finding your passion because I'm not going to talk, hey, this is specifically how you do it. I'm going to tell you a little bit about what I think you should do and what has helped me and helped a lot of my clients that I've worked with before. But then I'm also going to talk about the feeling of not knowing what your passion is. The way that I feel that's easiest for someone to figure out what their passion is or what they should be doing if they feel lost in life is to

Starting point is 00:01:16 wake up every single morning and ask themselves this one question. And that question is this, what is the purpose of my life? What is the purpose of my life? Right? Because, and I'll talk about this in another episode. I won't talk deeply on it in this episode, but everybody wants to know what the meaning of life is. What's the meaning of life? And I think in my personal opinion, and I'm not the smartest person in the world, but this is just my opinion. I think that there is no purpose to our lives. We get to make the purpose of our lives. That's the purpose. And some people are miserable their entire lives because they don't feel like there is no purpose. And the reason why there is no purpose is because they

Starting point is 00:01:54 have not given themselves the purpose as to why they are alive. So if you're sitting out there and listening to this and it's stressed you out that you don't know the purpose of your life, well, you need to figure out what that purpose is. And so if you wake sitting out there and listening to this and it stressed you out that you don't know the purpose of your life, well, you need to figure out what that purpose is. And so if you wake up each morning and you ask yourself the same question and you have a pen and paper and you change and make little tiny tweaks and adjustments, you figure out what your purpose is and then every morning you make little tweaks to it and you make it better and you make it better and you remind yourself every single morning, you will start to notice that things will start to fall in place. You'll start to get a better idea of exactly what it is that you want in your life, exactly what it is, what you want your life to be. And the way I was

Starting point is 00:02:35 explaining it to a coaching client that I was speaking to today was this. She was talking about how she has an idea of what she wants her life to be. And most people do. Most people have an idea of what they want their life to be or what they want it to feel like or the emotions. They know what the overarching theme of their life is, but they don't really know the route to get there. They know the destination most of the time, or at least the feeling that they want on that destination, but they don't know exactly how they're going to get there. And the best way that I can explain it to you is this. Whenever you're starting a puzzle, usually what you do to make it easiest on you is you build the frame of the puzzle first, right? You basically, at this point in time, if you don't know exactly

Starting point is 00:03:22 what it is that you want or how you're going to get there, you've probably built the frame. If you don't even know what you want, then you haven't even built the frame of your puzzle yet. So if you have the frame of your puzzle built, your job is to find each individual piece and where they fit. And the way that I see it is if you wake up every single morning and ask yourself, what's my purpose? What's my purpose? What's my purpose? What's my purpose? And you start figuring it out in 30 days from now, in 60 days from now, in 90 days from now, you have this purpose that's set in stone and it gets you

Starting point is 00:03:51 excited every single day. What happens is you start to notice things happening in your life that are opportunities to get you to where you want to go, to get you to accomplishing that purpose of your life. And the example I like to give is like when you go and buy a car, right? Before you buy that car, you never see that car anywhere. But then after you buy the car, you see it everywhere. And the reason why is because now that that car owns a piece of your brain, it's in your brain now, it's in your consciousness. And now that's in your consciousness, you now see that consciousness, that car everywhere. It's not that the car wasn't there before. You just didn't notice it. So when you wake up every single morning and you own that

Starting point is 00:04:36 purpose and you remind yourself and it occupies a space in your brain, you will start to notice in your external world all of the opportunities that have been in front of you and will continue to pop up in front of you in order for you to find the next puzzle piece. It's like Tim, or not Tim Jobs, Steve Jobs says, you can't connect the dots looking forward. You can only connect the dots looking backwards. You don't know what the entire puzzle is going to look like. But 10 years from now, if you have now built that frame and you continue to just keep adding puzzle pieces every single morning and keep finding those opportunities every single day when you leave. 10 years from now, you'll look back and you'll go, oh, this is the picture that I was building. This is the puzzle that I was building.

Starting point is 00:05:22 And so if you're trying to find your purpose, realize that each day in your life is a puzzle piece. And if you're wasting it, if you're not reminding yourself of this purpose, you're not figuring out what your purpose is. If you don't know what it is, it's okay, but don't continue to go through your life and not freaking figure it out. It might take time. You're not going to figure out right away, but it might take time to figure what it is. That's okay. But start figuring out. Build the outside of the puzzle first. And then each day, ask yourself what the purpose of your life is and fill in that puzzle as much as you can. So that's what I got for you today for this episode.
