It’s taken me 28 years to develop a very small understanding of my purpose in this life. Turns out it’s not an easy task to discover how you can best add value to the world and, in turn, how you can best receive it back.

My ideas for my life, and my career, keep on changing, and I’m gonna make sure they always do.

Where you start won’t be where you end up.

Your business purpose is going to change. That’s okay. Let it.

How you help best and who you help best isn’t fixed. What fits today might not always.

I’m learning that as your Innerpreneurial journey unfolds, so does your vision for it. It makes sense that just like life and all existence, our values, our gifts, our careers, are all part of a spiral, ever expanding and evolving.

What we think is our truth one day, isn’t another.

Let your business vision change.

Don’t fight it. Don’t punish yourself for it. You didn’t get things wrong. You’ve only changing your ever expanding mind.

    Tara,
    So true! We change and so does our purpose and the business. We all have to flow with the changes.
    And, I'm so impressed it only took you 28 years to figure out your purpose? Me, I'm still sorting that one out!

    I don't think I've got it figured out, Angela, but I feel like I've
    got the tip of my finger on it. I've got a hunch.

    Three cheers for still sorting it out!

    Change is the essence of life, and even though we may think many things don't seem to change much over time in our day-to-day routine, they really do. I know I´m not the same guy that I was 10 years ago – not at all. Neither are my current aspirations, interests and goals the same of back then. If we had everything sorted out from the beginning, we probably wouldn't change anything. But thankfully it can't happen. So it's up to us to embrace change – because that is just about the only thing we can really count on having through our lives.

    “it's up to us to embrace change – because that is just about the only
    thing we can really count on having through our lives.” I love how you
    phrased this, Beto. It is so true. I was just reflecting as I read
    your comment on how hard it can be to change due to our friends and
    family who despite their best intentions, find it hard to see us
    evolve into a different person and can often shame us with our
    changes. Did you experience this at all in the last 10 years? Or did
    you feel free to change?

    In my case, not really. I was never forced into anything honestly. I went to arts school by my own choice. I don't really have anyone to blame for the mishaps and bad life decisions on my part but myself – and it also takes some of not caring much about what others think :)

    Good on you, Beto, for standing by your convictions. I got to say,
    there's something about that concept that we can blame for our
    choices, like our parents, etc., just seems so strange to me. Like you
    said, my bad or good or mediocre choices were all mine to make. Saying
    that though, our environment does affect and shape us and being in a
    unsupportive or supportive one really can make a huge difference in
    our lives. I do think it's important to surround ourselves with people
    who support the changes that are occurring in us, rather than react to
    them in fear.

    Hi Tara ! – What you are saying is so true. Everything changes !- as the ancient Greeks used to say. In order for people to be happy with their work, these three things are needed : They must be fit for it; They must not do too much of it ; And they must have a sense of success in it. Finally it is so encouraging to learn that our minds are still capable of expanding. I was on my way to think that mine is becoming a hardened pudding. :)))

    I did not know the ancient Greeks believed that in order for people to
    be happy with their work, they need:

    1. They must be fit for it;
    2. They must not do too much of it ;
    3. They must have a sense of success in it.

    Thanks for sharing that, Mike. I believe the ancient Greeks and I
    share something in common;)
