The true meaning of impact and a life of meaning is about answering a call. You may know that already, but there is so much distraction and uncertainty in life that we all are often held down with pain and fear of how to survive that we loose track of the true meaning of life. This may be why you still are unsure of what it really means to live.

You want to live a life of meaning, but you don't know how to get started. Most people spend their lives, living for others and not themselves. They end up in a job they hate because it's secure or the best paying option. They go through the motions day after day without knowing what they truly want out of life or who they are as individuals.

This is why if you want to stand out and work towards a successful life, you need to find your path and follow an actionable plan on how to create and achieve a life of meaning.

What you do without hesitating is what really gives your life a meaning. That action you must take everyday, or that thought that never leaves you at night is what makes life worth living. You have a call on your life to accomplish something bigger than you, and as soon as you find it, you will be suddenly motivated to follow that path.

Many people live there lives, waiting for the call or struggling to accept the call. Only very few people step out and take the action needed to activate their journey.

Most times following your life path, will mean you must leave certain people behind, and this is often challenging because they are your lived ones and family.

For example if as a wife you have a dream of starting a baking business, and your spouse thinks you’re the same spouse he married and always known to be an accountant, you may never follow your dreams, except you have something or someone snap you out of your current reality, I find with many clients I coach that they stay stuck, in “what has always been".

How to create a life with meaning: 3 action steps

Firstly, find someone who has gone through the path you are seeking to follow. Experience equip people with authority and that is what you should be looking for. Because along the way you will need motivation and support to keep going.

Creating a life of meaning, is like going to an unknown destination, and without expert support and guidance, you might be discouraged and unable to get to your destination.

Because a lot of people pretend to be someone they are not, it is wise to get a reference or pick someone you connect with on a mutual ground. There should be an inner feeling of ‘I know who you are' when working with a mentor or getting a consult. This is why people only work with those they know, like and trust.

Secondly, you must have a open mind to receive new knowledge, you receive because you need a more enlightened awareness to grow and become the person you seek. Start asking yourself the right questions, and set up routines that will help you demand self discipline.

Because your life cannot have a meaning if you’re not fully involved. You can’t be what you want without becoming someone different from what you are now. You must be ready for what’s new. From this newness you will uncover your why, that will consistently drive you to your dream and goal.

Thirdly, you must learn and develop patience, because the truth about creating anything from scratch is that it takes time. It takes time to build a successful business, it takes time to find that dream job, it takes time to write a book. So whatever your goal and dream is, remember that it will take time.
