she wrote a plan, which she affectionately
called her “little blue book.” That guide later
became the foundation of her first bestseller.
Hay found her life’s purpose, put it in writing
and did not deviate from it, and in the end,
her affirmations and her plan led to her
abundance. Write your plan.
STEP 4: Give it
meaning.
The steps above are what I utilized to change
my life at 37 years of age after being laid off
from my position as a marketer/researcher
in a biotech company. I wrote in my journal
and when I found the things that stood
out, I focused on them, affirmed them and
planned for them. I am now publisher of my
own wellness magazine and have written
my first book, but at times, I feel the need
for more meaning. So I have been working
on combining the book efforts with that of
giving and donating most of the profits from
the book to fulfill that need.
STEP 5: Adjust—
your purpose
changes as you
do.
There is no such thing as failure, only
success in trying.
Now go ahead, dust off your wings (and
your pen) and find your purpose.
