PURPOSE MATTERS

-
Do you know that your gift(s), passion and purpose are interconnected?
Yes, they are!

Your Gift refers to your talent or abilities.
Your Passion is referred to as a strong fondness, enthusiasm, or desire for something.
While your Purpose is the reason for your existence.
Finding your purpose requires that you first identify your gifts or unique abilities.
Having the knowledge of your gifts is needful, because they serve as important pointers to your calling.

Someone who has been designed to be a teacher would have an amazing ability to teach and be well understood.
A person designed to be a singer will be found to have a beautiful singing gift.
An individual created to be an advocate would be outspoken and have zero tolerance for injustice.
Knowing the areas you're gifted in makes purpose discovery easier.
However, gift identification is not all there is to finding your Purpose.

The next is Passion identification.
Yes, You must also identify your passion!
Passion serves as a filter for your gifts, it helps you separate your gifts into a hierarchical order and makes it possible for you to prioritize the gifts that matter most.
Not all your gifts are pointers to your purpose, you must know the ones that are the most important to your purpose and the ones that should be left to work in the underground for you.


Identify your strongest gifts that resonate accurately with your passion, then you are on your way to discovering your Reason for existence!
I hope you find this helpful!

7 Effective Ways to Develop Your Negotiation Skills

1. Practise Saying ‘No’ Human beings are programmed to be non-confrontational. From a young age, we’re taught to follow orders or else get punished, and as adults, we’re taught the same thing. Time and again, we’re told to ‘let it go’ and ‘just go with the flow’ so we don’t upset the client or the boss. This lifelong habit of avoiding confrontation and just saying ‘yes’ weakens your negotiation skills. But not to worry; you can still reprogramme your mind by practising saying ‘no’. You can start with something small like going home on time or refusing to work extra hours, especially if you’re already raking in too much overtime.
