Visualization Exercise: How to Find Your Purpose and Define your Vision

In a rush... The Purpose Exercise begins at 2:34
This Personal Development video is about an exercise that can begin your journey towards defining and living an inspiring purpose in your life. Many people have asked me over the recent weeks how to go about establishing a vision for their lives. This is a simple tool that I learnt over 8 years ago. It had a big impact on my life, so big that I went back and invited the person who taught it to me out for lunch to celebrate.

Thanks Conor for sharing! After going through this exercise in finding my Purpose and Defining my Vision, what I drew placed flesh (drawings) on the bones (words) of what I had written about my life. My drawings of defining the life I'd like to be living actually spoke to me much deeper than using words. It was like looking in front of me and saying, that's me... that's what I want... that's who I am. Simple exercise and yet very impactful and profound. If I could sum up in one word describing my experience by drawing my life, it would be "Enliven"! My eyes have been opened, for I'm beginning to see again. A big hearty Thank You! ~Jim

Keep on being real Sir. Keep on inspiring us

It always seems to me that an important piece of the pie that is often missing is the idea of being 'open'- open to change-open to ideas of others-open to a new way of thinking-open to meeting others.Somewhere in a closed circle there must be an opening.It is often random events or encounters that give you that inspiration to climb the Himalayas.

I do agree. Not only in theory but unfortunately in the field.

Thanks Conor for your advice. I have an avid follower of your videos on public speaking. Keep sharing your thoughts and ideas, which will influence millions of people! - govindaraj Subramani

Thanks Conor ... just watch it again after it first came out ... "Definition" I think is the clue why it works ... anything that makes us think & define what we are doing & what we are after ... describing it in images or words ... then makes us zero in on it ! :-)

I loved this pie exercise and will be using it in my next live event! Thanks for sharing!!!

Thank you for your interesting and challenging conversations, I am learning so much and you have a lovely relaxed but confident manner of presentation. This visualization really works - I have used it for several other areas of my life. I am 58 yr old mother of 5 and started studying this year because I have a current medium-term goal of what I wish to achieve. Thank you for teaching us about people and public speaking skills, which I will definitely employ in my administration of a private school. Belinda Venter

I can see that your videos with all this valuable tips provided for free have few views . And a lot of garbage videos like stunts or someone who does a joke or I don't know has millions of views, this shows us how is the availability of the people to personal development, and how much do they want to be an example, to be a proactive person...
