Have you ever found yourself stuck at life's crossroads, questioning your purpose? We're all familiar with that age-old question we first encountered as children: 'What do you want to be when you grow up?' But today, I challenge you to shift your focus from the future to the present. Let's replace that question with 'What do you want to do today?' As adults, we write our own life map, and it’s time we shift our perspective on what it truly means to be alive.Join me as I share some personal insights from my journey of self-discovery. We'll explore the concept of a 'yes day' – a day dedicated to saying yes to what brings joy into our lives. Through these experiences, I've realized that what we're truly seeking is not a specific purpose or meaning in life, but the vibrant feeling of being fully alive. Is it really necessary for our purpose to be linked to our profession? Let's rethink the paradigms and reshape our lives to find what truly makes us feel alive. Our true purpose might just be the exhilaration of living in the present. So why wait for tomorrow? Let's seize today and live it on our own terms.Follow Laura on LinkedIn and InstagramSupport the showWeekly Tips on Growing and Monetizing your B2B Business --> go.bravebydesign.net/newsletter
