I started my journey of discovering my purpose back in 2008. Throughout the years I have had the privilege to talk to individuals from different ages and backgrounds. What I began to noticed shocked me because I did not realize that this was a big issue. Most people had no idea what their purpose was. This was because these individuals were not taught to really dig deep and figure out who they really are.
The systems of our societies have taught many to be in survival mode. So thinking about who you really are just isn’t in the cards for most. The mental and emotional states of people showed me that they had no hope for their future. Others felt like it was too late because life had taken over them.
The realization that so many people were struggling to discover their purpose ignited a huge flame deep within me. My purpose began to take shape when I knew I wanted to be the solution to this worldwide problem. That is why I wrote my book “Code 245: The Secrets to Unlocking Your Purpose” (releasing in Spring 2022) and started my life purpose coaching business called, “Dreamers Nation”.
The roadmap that I want to share with you comes from my book. These three concepts will encourage you to either start or continue your journey of finding your true self. It’s not too late!
1. The Equation Of Life
When you look at nature, life, and overall the universe, you see a well-organized system. It is amazing as you begin to see a very intelligent design. This got me thinking and inspired me to come up with a very simple yet complex equation. I also refer to this as the Three Ps of Life. They are:
Process + Progress = Purpose
Process – is the steps or procedure a person, place or thing needs to fulfill their purpose.
Everyone knows that when the season of spring comes, there is the same mechanism or process every single year. It never changes. So we can automatically tell when spring is here because there is a process by which spring manifests itself. Likewise, you should identify what is the specific path(s) you need to take in order to become everything you are meant to be.
Progress – is the growth and development needed within the process to fulfill your purpose.
It does not make sense going through any process if there isn’t any growth involved. It is evident that many people are going through a process, but there is not enough development to find their potential. Being mentally imprisoned with no hope of freedom seems to be the reality for most. Individuals need to know that you need to grow through to become the best version of yourself.
Purpose – is the reason why you exist.
Some people really believe that they have no purpose in life. The narrative for some is that they are just biology. That is so far from the truth. Every single person reading this and others who are on this planet, all have a reason why they exist. Many just have not taken the time to find out. My hope is to inspire you to diligently search and discover your true self. You can do this by beginning to understand what the vision for your life is.
2. Understanding The Vision For Your Life
There is a statistic that says 98% of people die without ever fulfilling their dreams. The reason why people cannot figure out who they are is because there is no vision for their life. The reality is you cannot create what you cannot see and most people struggle to perceive the image of their true identity.
So I came up with an equation to facilitate the understanding of vision:
Imagination + Creativity = Vision
Imagination – is the ability to form a mental image of something not yet manifested.
Do you know how powerful this definition is? All of us humans have the power to form an image never before seen in this reality. So the real you has yet to be fully recognized here on this earth, but you have the capacity and the power to imagine it.
Just remember that the right observation of self is key to gaining the right perception of self. All the distractions and discouragements in life make this task of imagination extremely difficult; but with great effort, persistence, and patience, it can be done.
Creativity – is what is produced through the use of imagination.
When you get to the place where you can see clearly, you can create. I would have never been able to write my book if I first did not see and believe that I would produce one. I knew without a shadow of doubt that I was going to be an author in 2015. I just didn’t know what I was going to create or when.
As I continued to go through process and grow through progress, I found the purpose of my book and in 2018 brought my vision of the book to life. This is a universal principle that we all need know and understand. This is just how it works and will continue to work.
Vision – the manifested reality of creating what you imagine.
You need to have an expectation for your future and believe you can attain it, in order for it to come into fruition. If I never took action of what I saw in 2015, you would not be reading my article right now. I had the willingness and desire to become an author, and now I am living in that reality today.
Likewise, what ever you see yourself doing and who you see yourself becoming, focus on that and take the next step. One key to vision is the more you accept and expect it, is the more you will take the necessary action to bring it to life.
In my book I use the concept of the butterfly to demonstrate that every human needs to go through their metamorphosis to become the best version of themselves. I will give you three stages on how to start that part for your journey.
3. How To Become The Butterfly Version Of Yourself
If you were to look at a caterpillar and a butterfly, you would notice that they do not resemble each other at all. This is because each body, every function and the way they eat is not identical anymore.
When you become the butterfly version of yourself, people will not be able to recognize you. Many will think you have changed and are not the same person. This is correct because you have transformed into something completely different.
Let me share with you the three stages on how to become the butterfly:
Stage 1 – The Stage of Refinement
The game of life can come with many obstacles that hinder us from unlocking our true potential. This is difficult and the road towards purpose will always have ups and downs. For you to become the butterfly you must remove all the hinderances and unwanted aspects of your life that are preventing you from change and transformation.
This is where you have to take an inventory of things in your life that need to be removed. These things can and may include:
ending certain relationships with partners, friends, family, co-workers and others
a job or career can be a hinderance
a certain routine, lifestyle or habit that needs to be broken
The negative thoughts or feelings towards yourself and others that needs changing
Your health and well-being is ignored
There could be other things in your life that require elimination, but please highly consider these conditions.
Stage 2 – The Stage of Elevation
These stages are continuous because the processes and progresses of life are always going. As stage one remains a constant, you will be able to step into the stage of elevation. This means that you will begin to level up in various ways:
Intellectually
Morally
Spiritually
Culturally
I hope you can start connecting the first and second concepts to this one. As you continue to grow through the process of elevation in these four areas, you will step into the next stage.
Stage 3 – The Stage of Creating Your Culture
Depending upon your purpose and vision for life, you are naturally wired a certain type of way. You have a personality, gifts and talents that are meant to impact a certain group of people. Your unique blueprint, which I can help you with, will attract those you were destined to help.
You will know when you have arrived at this stage of culture creation with the following:
You found and finalized your unique message that you want to deliver to the world
You share your message and start doing the work required
People start to become inspired and impacted by your message
recognition and reputation start to increase
a community or tribe starts to form
that community or tribe becomes its own nation
that nation impacts the world
I have written the three concepts in so much more detail in my book and wanted to share with you how they work. I am so glad that you got to read this vital information.
