The Life Purpose Podcast on Life Signatures Radio

🎉 New #Podcast! We have already learnt that purpose discovery is not an event. If it were, very many people would stop all that they are doing and go for a purpose unearthing event. Think about that. However, it is a process not only to discover your purpose, but also to deploy it. That being said, here are some things that you can do when you realize that you need to discover your purpose. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! I have already advised you not to quit your job immediately you are aware that you are not living to fulfill your purpose. The nature of purpose discovery is a process. In fact, I have already said elsewhere that nothing you do outside of purpose is useless. The best bet is to start where you are and see how you can navigate in life to get to where your purpose is. Your present level is an input to your next. But here is the 'shortcut' to your purpose discovery. Listen in.

🎉 New #Podcast! You realize that purpose is something not outside of you. It is always going to be linked with passion or your inner emotions. When all is said and done, you will not find people doing something that they are not passionate about but call it purpose. That being said, when you discover that you are not living your purpose, the temptation would be to look outside of yourself to find it. Don't. Start within. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! You have a vocation through which you are earning a living. Someone tells you or you come to the realization that you are not living to fulfill your purpose. In fact, you even feel like there is more to life than doing what you are doing. What do you do? There are two major options that you can take. Put in mind the idea that purpose discovery and deployment do take a considerable amount of time, you will not discover your purpose and deploy it tomorrow. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! Purpose discovery is a process, so is purpose deployment. When you realize that you are not living to fulfill your purpose, what do you do? What options do you have? The issue is that you could think of dropping everything you are doing, quitting your job and all that stuff so you can go and find purpose. Well, before you can do all that, this is one piece of advise. Check this out.

🎉 New #Podcast! At one point in your life or another, you will come to the realization, probably, that what you are doing or have been doing are not related to your purpose. Either it may be through outside information coming into your life or just in internal disquiet. The question to answer is this: What do you do then? Do you stop living your life and go out there 'to find purpose?' Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! Given that purpose is not revealed on the first day of birth for most people, it follows that at times we find ourselves outside of it even as we do life. There comes a point when we realize that we need the purpose. What do we do? Do we stop living so that purpose can be revealed? There is a great balancing act that we have to perform in life as we pursue purpose. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! If you get seriously convicted that you are not living a life of purpose and you get some urgency to get on track, do you quit your present job/vocation? Do you stop all the traffic in your life and go away to 'look for purpose'? In the new series, we talk about some of the steps you can take when you realize that your life is not on schedule as far as purpose is concerned. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! If you are looking for safety, comfort, coziness and ease in life from your purpose, you will be in for a rude shock sooner or later. The very virtue of your purpose pursuit kind of welcomes some downsides to it. However, the advantages you do get from your purpose pursuit far outweigh the downsides. That's why people normally love to wear their war scars and display them. "It was worth it" they will tell you. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! I will say it again: Purpose discovery is not an event. It is a process. In addition, purpose deployment is still not an event. It is a lifetime process. This presupposes that by the time you start 'earning' from your purpose, a lot of water has passed under the bridge. There is the saying that 'there is light at the end of the tunnel'. Well, the tunnel of purpose is necessarily longer than other tunnels in life such as jobs...so prepare yourself accordingly. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast As already established, knowing your purpose is no guarantee that there will be no uncertainty, setbacks, failure and even disillusionment. As long as you are in the realm of time, you might be blindsided by things even if you are pursuing your purpose. Therefore, prepare yourself. Be aware. Be in the know. In this episode, we look at perhaps one of the biggest downsides of purpose pursuit. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! If you looked at every human being who achieved greatness in their lives by pursuing purpose or what matters to them, you will easily see their scars. You will easily see that it was not easy, no smooth sailing. Contrary to popular belief, purpose pursuit has its downsides. Here is now you can start dealing with the rejection that comes in your life because you decided to follow your passion.

🎉 New #Podcast! When you are pursuing your purpose, obviously some relationships will be at stake. Not everyone will understand you or what you are doing. You will probably not have enough time to explain to everyone what you are doing and why you are doing it. The downside of purpose pursuit will be that people close to you will not get you. How do you deal with that? Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! We are taught that life and nature abhor a straight line. In other words, if you are looking for smooth sailing with your purpose pursuit, you will be mistaken. The very first obstacle that you must conquer over and over and over again is within you. It is one of the downsides of purpose pursuit. If you had no purpose, you will not need to bother with this one downside. Check it out.

🎉 New #Podcast! The biggest liar in the Christian circles is the one who tells you "Come to Jesus and all your problems will disappear". At the same time, the biggest lie a motivational speaker will tell you is, "Find your purpose, follow your heart and you will never work another day in your life". We know that purpose and passion as well as vision attract some negatives in our lives. Here is how you can start using this revelation to your advantage.

🎉 New #Podcast! Invariably, you will find yourself at one point in your life or another engaged in an assignment or a job, a project or work that does not in any way remotely connected to your purpose. Such assignments can be draining to the bone...but I can tell you emphatically that they are not in anyway useless. As such, it is important to find a way of handling them because probably, that's the only thing you have now. Point to note: It's not your destiny. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! To be frank, the ideal seldom comes at the first ask at least for the majority of people across the globe. You want to be a CEO but the only position available at the moment is direct sales. When you take that position as a Direct Sales rep, your attitude will be the most critical thing to you. I do believe that the best you could ever do is to do the most and expend the best of your God given ability in that assignment. It is your gateway to your purpose. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! Motivational speakers would invariably scoff at graduates who are desperate for any kind of job. We tell them that it's not their worth. In so doing, we are committing a treasonable offense, well, as far as purpose pursuit is concerned. You see, no one starts smack in the middle of purpose. At times we start from so far away, doing things that are totally unrelated to our calling in life, like Paul the Apostle being a tent maker. Later on, a connection happens. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! Purpose discovery will always be a process. You can take that to the bank. So stop looking for events. Even if there was an event and you discovered your purpose through it, deploying it will require a process. That's why it is important to keep doing what you are doing even though it is not connected to your purpose. Sooner of later, the connection is bound to happen. Here is how.

🎉 New #Podcast! There is a lie peddled out there that anything you do outside of your life purpose is useless. Nothing can be further from the truth. The world we lived in interconnects even the unimaginable to form purpose, but that's besides the point. That being said, is much more powerful to know where you are going regardless of where you are and what you are doing at this moment in time. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! Life and nature abhor a straight line. That's why you will seldom be born and from the first day of your life, you are living your purpose. At times, even when you know what your purpose is, life forces you to do things that are way outside of it. Call it adversity or crisis, or just a balancing between purpose pursuit and eking out a living, this phenomenon happens to all of us. What we need to be aware of is that it is not useless. We started this series to discuss this fully.

🎉 New #Podcast! You have a degree in Food Science but you are a Systems Administrator in a telecom company. Was the degree in Food Science a Waste? The greatest balancing act in life is between eking out a living and pursuing your purpose. Life is not a straight line and thus whatever we do outside of purpose is not necessarily useless. In this episode, we start going deeper in explaining how useful everything in life is. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! As we already know, the greatest balance in life is that between purpose pursuit and paying bills. If you are not careful, you find yourself for the most part paying bills than pursuing purpose. It is important to note that life outside purpose with all the things that you do outside of it are not useless, especially if you are on the journey of the purpose pursuit. This new series starts to explain.

🎉 New #Podcast! You don't just jump from birth to purpose. There is a process. As long as you are in the realm of time, there is such a thing as the Law of Process and well as the Law of Maturity. A process gives you several stages before maturity just like there are trimesters in pregnancy. The issue is to know what phase you are at in your purpose pursuit. Listen to this to know where you have reached thus far.

🎉 New #Podcast! It's a fact that there are things that we can leave to our children and the next generation and yet the most important thing we can leave is what we leave "In them". A job, given that it belongs to your boss, can never be left for your children, but purpose can. If we started living and pursuing our purpose hard enough, we might start building something great that can be taken over by our children. Passing on the baton is one of the greatest phases of the metamorphosis of our purpose. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! Towards the tail end of your purpose pursuit, at least in the purpose life cycle, there comes a time that it has to be monetized. It has been consistently pursued for years so much so that it has garnered some great clout. That clout has given it trust and a foundation that forms the basis of it being monetized for it has been proven and tested by some and found that it works. It is transforming lives much as it is giving you fulfillment. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! When you have been faithfully and consistently pursuing your purpose, it brings clout to you. Clout is the pre-currency of the monetization of your purpose. However, without the consistent pursuit, there will be no clout. It is still easy to give up when all you have is clout and not payment from your purpose. In fact, quite a number of folks give up on their purpose here. This is why it is important to hold on a little longer. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! After giving purpose some time for maturity, sooner or later, you develop some notoriety and clout. People start identifying you with what you do or they start identifying your niche with you. This could never have happened if you were not consistent in what you were doing. Even then clout doesn't mean that you have 'arrived'. It just means that you have been noticed and that you should keep doing what you are doing. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! One has to connect with their purpose, hold on to it and consistently keep churning it out no matter what. When we go into purpose for what we can get out of it, we err a big deal. That's why many people do not stay with it for long because seldom does purpose pay you immediately. However, the exciting thing about purpose is that in the end, it will come good. This is one critical phase of purpose pursuit. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! The truth is that you can easily discover your purpose by yourself. However, many people do not do that for one major reason that I will discuss in this episode. Here is a hint. You remember the career choices back in school? Why did you choose some and hate others? Look at it this way, if you had the money and the brains to choose, what course would it have been? The choice is easy...but still most people do not make that choice. Why? Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! Purpose is not something you craft and create. If that was so, then you would also craft your own gifts and create your own talents and calling. There is an outside process of purpose design that you do not participate in. However, your participation in purpose discovery and deployment kicks off another process for which you are largely in charge. This process is kickstarted when you intentionally conceive. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! Few people realize the importance of obscurity in life. The seed on the ground is obscure, and that's where it's power lies. Today, we have so many avenues that help us to champion our notoriety even before we can sprout out of the ground. Those who know the power of obscurity will use it to their greatest advantage. It is one of the most important phases in the metamorphosis of your purpose from conception to fruition. Here is one more thing you do while at that phase.

🎉 New #Podcast! In the realm of time, those who use processes to their advantage will advance more than those who don't. Time is limited but not that limited that we cannot make an impact. In our purpose pursuit, we have to acknowledge that there will be moments of obscurity. It is how we handle the obscurity as we faithfully pursue our purpose that will determine how it will pan out. No purpose worth its salt takes just days to know, own and deploy. It is a metamorphosis. Here is what you need while in obscurity.

🎉 New #Podcast! Our purpose will always take time to mature. There is no doubt about that. This is why incubation of purpose is important. We have to understand that incubation of purpose is not something done on and off. To hatch her chicks, the hen sits on the eggs for 21 days continuously. Therefore, consistency and momentum are critical to your purpose pursuit. You see, we are talking about the metamorphosis of purpose from conception to fruition. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! There are certain deep things I believe about purpose. One of them is that purpose has a metamorphosis whose incubation period is dictated by our consistency, momentum and commitment. We start talking about the metamorphosis of purpose from conception to fruition in this brand new series. It will be exciting. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! At the end of the day, no one really did anything great alone. Great souls have always found help from different types of people at different levels of their purpose pursuit. We are told that people come to our lives for a reason, a season or a lifetime. Whether for a reason, a season or a lifetime, different kinds of people will come alongside to help our endeavors in life. Here is a summary of just but a few.

🎉 New #Podcast! A crowd can lie to you. Ask Mike Tyson, Tiger Woods and Mikel Arteta. As long as you are feeding what they like, they are on your side. One side step and they are baying for your blood. When you are pursuing your purpose, you need people, but do not ever be fooled by crowds. There is one category of people that you cannot do without in your purpose pursuit. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! Momentum is a very good thing. The good thing about it is that it can always be taken further than it is at the moment. When you are pursuing your purpose, the fact that you might not have all in place to do it should not dissuade you. All you need to do is to have some momentum to the degree that you can...and thereafter, you attract the right people to help you see it through. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! Next to insurance salespeople, motivational speakers have come under serious attack in the recent past. Granted, there are some quacks out there who are making the name of the industry bad. However, I posit here that inspiration is one of the greatest values in life "In" means inside. "Spire" is a word that talks about giving life. To inspire is to give life where it seemingly was ebbing away. In your purpose pursuit, you will need inspiration from time to time. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! In your pursuit of purpose you have already realized that you will need people. Actually, you will need different kinds of people. The category I am talking about today and the rest of the episodes is important. These are what are called "helpers". As the word suggests, they come alongside to help you in different ways that you need, for you are not all sufficient in yourself. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! The most invigorating part of life is to do life with people with the same motivation or even more than what you have. These are people that believe like you do, are passionate like you are and are in the same 'class' so to speak, trying to push their ideas to life. In this episode, we look at the importance of comrades in your pursuit of purpose. You want to listen to this motivation, and you want to have a comrade in your life immediately.

🎉 New #Podcast! As you already know, we need people in our lives to succeed in anything we pursue. Life is structed in such a way that we don't end up with people we WANT, but as it is, we inevitably get different types of people as we move along. In this episode, we shall talk about hypocrites. These are a dangerous bunch, for some of them can be in your payroll, managing board and all that...but they are not with you. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! When you are pursuing your purpose, you will notice the need for people to help you. Interestingly, you are bound to get help from very unlikely sources--your haters. Those who envy and spite and throw jealousy against you. In this episode, we discuss just three things that you need to do wit the haters, but we also point out that you should rejoice when haters come into your life. Probably, nobody will hate you if you are not doing something positive. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! Purpose pursuit needs help from as many sources as possible. Some of these sources are intentional at helping us, and some do help us even though they do not know that they are helping us. All the same, for our purpose to be deployed, we need people. However, there is a group of people commonly called "haters". Nobody wants them, but as sure as the sun is out daily, you will have different degrees of haters. Believe me, they are good for you. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! Technically, no man is an island. We can have raging debates about "self-made" this and that, but you can agree with me that even the so called "self-made" needed input directly or indirectly from others. Your purpose could be big or it could be miniscule. Either way, one of the most important pillars of support for that purpose is people. Other people. At the end of the day, as you do your purpose, you are also helping others. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! Purpose can be so daunting. One of the biggest mistakes we make with purpose is to drop it because we could not accomplish it alone. But that's how life has been designed. We are all wired to be 'needy' if you will. No one makes it in this life 'alone'. Not a single huge organization did it 'alone'. We are all intertwined in life. That's why people are important in purpose pursuit.

🎉 New #Podcast! The most underrated thing on earth is the body. For the most part, we only take note of the body WHEN it is not functioning. This is not right. In addition to the body, we also have our emotions, our mental health and our spirit. In this episode, we come to a close of a series where we have been discussing the importance of our health in our purpose pursuits. You want to listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! Matters related to health should not be reactionary. Divine health is not about getting healed. It is about having a proactive mindset and taking action to make sure that we are 'healthier'. In this episode, we look at the importance of taking deliberate care about our physical, mental, spiritual and emotional health so that we can be productive and be released to do our life's work. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! There could be so much to do and so many places to go, so many books to read and just 24 hours to do that...with just one body! The fulcrum of all this is the body. In other words, if the body is not take care of, the to do list will still be there as well as the 24 hours, but no longer for that body. In this episode we see further the importance of health and vitality in your purpose pursuit. Listen to this.
