Get ready to be inspired, motivated and empowered. Welcome to the whole Happy, successful podcast, where we will talk about positivity, mindset and different tactics and strategies to be more happy and successful. I'm your host, Behnaz Vala, and I'm on a mission to help as many people as possible to be more successful through a positive mindset. So you're looking to improve your career, strengthen your relationships or find more happiness and fulfillment in your life? You'll find the guidance and inspiration you need right here. Join me in this fascinating journey and become more home, happy and successful. Welcome to the beautiful world of the power of mind and positive thinking. Let's start our journey together. You're working hard to achieve your dream life. You're an entrepreneur or aiming for promotion or trying to get your business off the ground. If you're finding success a bit of a struggle, maybe you need to find your life's purpose to lift you above the pack and change your mindset from struggle to success. Finding your purpose is like finding a magic key to help you align everything you do and focus on getting to your best life. Now here are five steps to help set you in the right direction. Look within. Too many people look to others for the answers. Too many people follow a path that's not their path. Only you can know what your dream life looks like. The answer to your life's purpose lies deep within you. All you have to do is tune into it. Journaling can be a helpful tool to allow your subconscious to speak your truth, or meditation or brainstorming. The important thing is that you look into your own hearts, trust your intuition, learning to trust that inner voice that tells you that the conventional way of doing things isn't right for you, whether it's a college degree or a selling technique. If it doesn't feel right, you don't have to do it. Find your own way of living your life and you will be much more likely to feel content and to be successful. Get friendly with fear. Many people choose to live safe, conventional lives too, afraid to do things differently or to take a chance. It's okay to be scared of the unknown. You can choose to face your fears and to lean in to meet challenges head on. Deciding to live your own life according to your values and your passion means being able to look fear in the face and step right out of your comfort zone.

Don't be bound by your to-do list. It's easy to become a slave to the never ending checklist of things you need to do before you can live your purpose. You only get one shot at life. Have a look at your current list of tasks. How many of them will move you closer to living your best life? How many can you just scrub out or delegate to someone else? Realize that you already have what you need. Maybe the most important thing to know that you don't need expensive courses or workshops or the right suit or car you already have everything you need to start living your life's purpose. That's all within you. What really matters is what you do with it, and today is the best time to start.

Behnaz: 4:04

Now let's see how to get started fulfilling your purpose. Does finding your life purpose sound a bit scary and overwhelming? Do you not even know where to start? Maybe it's easier to stay where you are, play safe, stay small, but there is still that nagging feeling in the back of your mind. You could be doing something meaningful, you could be living your best life. But how to get started? Here are three steps to gently start your journey to living a more authentic life. Just remember to be kind to yourself and take baby steps.

Behnaz: 4:48

What are you scared of? The first step is to have a good look at what scares you about finding your life purpose. Does it feel risky? Do you feel vulnerable? What if you fail? What if people laugh at you? If it comforts you? These are thoughts and worries that afflict everyone. Don't worry, you are not alone. Start by writing down everything that comes into your head at the thought of finding your life purpose. Don't filter or critic. Just write what you think. You can use the prompt if I consciously leave my purpose, I'm afraid that and see how you go.

Behnaz: 5:33

Now take a deep breath and respond to a second question. What do the scared part of me need to feel supported? Listen to yourself and the answer will be given to you. Give yourself permission to change. Everything in nature changes and grows. It is not normal to stay in the same state or position for a lifetime. Whether you are a corn, a puppy or a person, embrace the potential of change and personal growth. Giving yourself permission to change and grow opens you up to limitless possibilities. By saying yes to change, you are giving the universe permission to give you opportunities you may never have their dream of receiving. Say yes and see what happens.

Behnaz: 6:26

Don't be afraid to be your unique self. No one in the history of the world has ever been like you. You have your own set of talents, skills, passions and experiences. Only you can make your contribution to the world. So stop trying to fit in and be like anyone else in the world. Stop comparing yourself to others and anticipating their judgment of you. The only thing that should give you pause is the thought of wasting all your talent by not shining your light. If you feel bashful about striking out on your path, remember no one else can be your best you.

Behnaz: 7:11

Here are five ways to stop worrying about what others think of you and live your authentic life. Have you ever wanted to try something, to do something, to be a certain way? Did you follow through with those desires, or did you stop dead in your tracks out of fear of what others would think If you said yes? Here's how to find your way out of the pigeonhole you are in and live the life you want. I know it's easier said than done, but ignore the fear.

Behnaz: 7:48

Fear is in all of us. It's a primary emotion and instinct that has allowed all creatures to survive for thousands of years by escaping danger. However, in today's world, we often experience fear that comes from no real threat. Really, what is the risk in someone disagreeing with you. What is the danger of being wrong? Fear, when manifested, can lead to many other emotions and physical symptoms that can stop you from living the life you want. If there is no real danger like death or bodily injury, then go for it.

Behnaz: 8:31

Ask yourself, so what? Or what if? What if she doesn't like me? What if they think my business idea is stupid? So what? That is only one person, that is one board of directors. What if she has had a crush on you this whole time? What if they think your idea is brilliant?

Behnaz: 8:54

Continue refaring the what ifs in life is exhausting. Move past those what ifs with a so what? Live the rejection. Rejection happens and it hurts. However, with every rejection comes a lesson. Maybe that lesson is what you need to do better next time. Or it may be that the person who rejected you has no idea what they are talking about.

Behnaz: 9:22

To succeed and prosper, you must live through rejection. Just know that not every rejection is a poor reflection of you. It's okay, though it's wrong. Do you learn in fear of being wrong or missing something up? Don't no one can be right or perfect or on point all the time. Stop questioning every decision you make, every emotion you feel or every action you take, simply enjoy it. Do what feels right and keep going. It's very important to be you. Be you without apology, without shame. Be you and feel no guilt. Dr Seuss once said Today you are you. That is truer than true. There is no one alive who is youer than you.

Behnaz: 10:19

Living in a constant state of worry about what others think about you is exhausting. It will also impede you living your authentic life every time. Learn to embrace yourself, your mistakes, the rejections and the lessons, and live your life for you. Are you frustrated of not getting what you want in your life? Do you want to take the first step and start moving in the right direction? Are you ready to explore your potential, gain clarity on your goals and take the first step towards success?
