Distractions - I got effected, learn from it and find your purpose in life

[krupt]

Hey guys, I havn't posted here for a while so I thought I'd post as I lost my track a bit in the last 3 months.

I had an idea and gained a lot of inspiration from this forum about 5 months ago when I was more active.

This idea of mine was a business related one obviously and I'm sure in the way we think all of us on this forum are similar that we want to do our own thing or be successful in life.

So anyways I prepared this idea and ran with it and motivated myself that it would work...BUT...I got involved with a girl. It lasted for 3 months, the deal with the girl but it wasn't any normal one...she has a b/f and she was already in a relationship of 4 years but I still got involved.

It's been up and down all the time due to that and it really took an edge off me.

I do alot of freelance webdesign work and in the last 3 months I havn't sold a single website or designed one...Before that, in 1 month it's normal for me to knock off say 3 websites. I also have a full time job so I don't push myself but it's nice as a bit of pocket money.

So basically a girl took the edge off me and I diverted all my thoughts and actions towards a girl.

I'm sure some of you guys have been in a similar position - or maybe something else where you've diverted your thoughts to when you should not have.

So I've called myself to like not get involved and get back on track to doing something successful. To be in control of myself and my own thoughts - like concentrate on yourself rather than others kind of attitude.

So recently I've been thinking - "What is my purpose in life" Because I'm sure once we find that out or think about that on that level, we can figure it out and work towards it and you'll feel passionate about it and do it right as you'll feel it is your purpose.

Like I know a guy - a speaker who considers his goal in life is EVOLUTION...he explains this by saying, always learning, always increasing your game or your level.

So now, as a job he is a motivational speaker to sports teams and to him - speaking and helping people go to the next level is his purpose in life and he's making money off it.

I'm dragging on - I'm in the process of setting my head straight still after this little incident in the last 3 months for me where I lost myself in a girl which I shouldn't have - so now I actually have a stronger motivation to do something even greater.

I'm trying to think what - I always had an idea to do something with regards to a english teaching school in London here where I am for european students as I'm half italian and I'm going on holiday to Italy when in Sept. so will start looking into it seriously I think.

So the point of this topic is -

Distractions always come but if you have got something good going on in your mind, don't let that distraction take you away from it

And the second point -

Do you know your purpose in life - do you believe you have one - and do you believe having one can help you achieve something great, both personally and financially/profesionally

Women. Can't live with them, can't live without them.

Do you know your purpose in life - do you believe you have one - and do you believe having one can help you achieve something great, both personally and financially/profesionally

I think our purpose is to live a happy, fullfilling life. And that can be had without great wealth or achievement.

purpose? starting a business doesn't give us purpose... starting a charity/ starting a social revolution, that would give us a purpose. our generation has no purpose

Get money is a purpose for our generation.

Dear Krupt,

Getting distracted from goal is not a mistake in my view, because once distracted and knowing that u r, it indicates that u give value to ur self....From what u have written it indicates that ur really concerned about doing something great and purposeful in life...

Coming to the points u have raised:

1. Some distractions are not to be supposed so, because they r the turning points in one's life just like getting into longterm relationship with a girl...which is an important part of life....

2. Yes, if u have a goal and has a vision that keeps u driving thru...I am confident we can achieve the purpose of our lifes ...unlike others...I do feel the current generation has the purpose and we carry/pass on the legacy to the future generations....

All the best,
Achanta

I think our purpose in life is helping ourselves first and then start helping others.
