A Potent Question to Overcome "Purpose Anxiety" + Discover Your Inner Powers

All of us have a luminous Call on our lives—some mighty mission that our destiny demands that we experience.
...To fail to do so is to imprison the glorious fire within us.
...And to generate a well of pain at our core.
…I’d like to offer you this question that I encourage you to begin reflecting on to make your rise, starting today:
“What are my Big 5?” In other words, what are the top five priorities that I needed to commit to spending the rest of my life hunting down.”
This is what my latest book The Wealth Money Can’t Buy is all about. Real wealth versus fake success. True winning versus spending your life climbing a mountain, only to find out at the end that it was the wrong one. You can order it now by clicking here.
There's a term that's going around right now called purpose anxiety. And a lot of people are feeling a lot of anxiety because they don't know why they're on the planet. They don't know what their mighty aim is. And it's so important as human beings, we do need meaning. We do need a reason to get up in the morning, a central focus, a personal Mount Everest that drives us and allows us to bring our gifts and our talents and our decency and our bravery to see the light of day. And here's the last day question. On the last day of my life, what mighty mission must I have pursued and realized for me to feel I lived my finest life? So I want you to start the process of answering it. You can journal about that every day for a few minutes so it gets clearer and clearer and clearer. Related to that, I want you to ask yourself this question. What is my Big Five? See the big game hunters, they hunt the Big Five. Well, what's your Big Five? What's the five highest priorities that you're going to build the remainder of your life around? Peter Drucker said it so well, he said, there's nothing so useless as doing efficiently that which should not be done at all. And Confucius said it even more wisely, he said, person who chases two rabbits catches neither. And so I want you to do some deep thinking. What's your big five? You are a hunter, you are a warrior. If you could only come up with five key priorities to build the rest of your life around, what would those HVTs, High-Value Targets be?
