Welcome back. Continuing what we've learned from the previous video about the poor level of personal connection you have with a particular topic or issue or sector, we are now going to go a little bit deeper about what are actually the function of these topics that you care about in relation to you discovering your life purpose. 16 years ago, back when I was still in college, I was studying business and marketing at that time. And throughout my journey in college, I started to join organizational activities as well. And I love marketing. I love business.

I'm very interested in those topics. But when I joined this organization, which focuses on leadership development, and I had my first training, which was I can say it was my first interaction with this topic, personal development, and I realized that I felt the impact of and from that training. Not only did I got interested in personal development, but I really Felt and experienced it myself the importance of continuously developing yourself. And then I moved very quickly from just being interested to be passively care, I started to have the intention to want to help others to experience the same to grow as well. But I still haven't done anything yet. And then it moved very quickly into start being active about it.

I read a lot of books, I watched a lot of videos, I asked many different mentors, I learned as much as I can I try to absorb as much as I can. So I can also help others in developing themselves. While at the same time it won't be myself Of course, and then from then on, I became even more focused, I started to invest more, and I started to plan how I'm going to contribute to others to develop themselves. So this topic, personal development became a topic that I really care about, and from just being in level one interested all the way to level four where I am now proactively care about this topic 16 years ago back when I was still in college. And even though at that time I didn't understand about this forward level of personal connection you have to a particular topic or issue or sector.

And if I reflect back right now, I can say that one of the topics that I got very interested in and then move fast into level two to be passively care was the topic of education and personal development. And if you asked me back then what I wanted to do with my life was I want to help as many people to continuously develop themselves because I have experienced myself the importance and impact of continuously developing yourself. So this became my focus. And I've tried many, many different ways. I failed many, many times as well. I learned from it, I try again, I got better and then I failed again.

I tried again, I got better, I failed again, and that goes on and on and on and on. But throughout that journey, I continuously gain more clarity about my own purpose from back then if you asked me, I would say my purpose was to How people develop themselves. But as I go through that journey within that sector, I started to realize as well, that what I actually meant by personal development was especially about discovering and living one's life purpose. So those journey helped me to gain clarity about my purpose. And I would never reach that level of clarity. If I didn't stay within that corridor of the topics that I care about, because for that years, I stayed within that topic.

So the topics that you care about becomes the corridor for you to stay within the right track. In your journey of discovering and living your purpose it from those years, I suddenly decided to just invest my time in a different topic, let's say sports, or filmmaking, or whatever it is. I wouldn't reach this level of clarity about my purpose, but by seeing within the corridor of the topics that I care about, that was how I gained the clarity about my purpose. So that's the first function Understanding and identifying and living your life within the topics that you care about. It helps to build the corridor in discovering your life purpose. That's the first one.

The second function of understanding and identifying the topics that you care about, is when you're doing it, it will enable you to be determined in actual living that journey. Why? Because the topics that you're working on matters to you personally, you have a personal connection with a topic if I wanted to, I could also build my career playing guitar singing, playing music. Yes, it's a tough industry, I know that I do have the talent in there as well. I love doing it as well. And I know if I'm 15 to invest my time to practice and become better and better.

I could also do a career there, however, because music or just topics that I'm interested in, I don't really care because I didn't really want to contribute for the betterment of the music sector of music industry. So if I built my career in music, and then the challenges come to me and then I'm facing challenges, which I will for sure if I did, I wouldn't be so determined to do whatever it takes to pursue that career. Why? Because I don't really care about that topic. It's only just for me the focus just because I love it because I like it. However, when it comes to enabling people to discover and live their life purpose, that is something that I deeply care about.

And when I see people started to get into that aha moment, to that realization of understanding and discovering their purpose, that gives me a level of fulfillment that nobody can even describe, and I wouldn't care about whatever challenge that I'm going to face, I will find a way to make sure I continue to live that purpose and generate more and more impact because I care about this topic. So remember, there are two functions of understanding, identifying and then living your journey your life within the topics that you care about. First, it'll help you to build the chord or to stay focused on your journey. and discover and living your purpose, and second, enabling you to stay determined to stay all out. No matter what challenges that you're facing and my grants, the challenges will come for sure. So that being said, it's time to actually move forward and take action in exploring, identifying discovery, what are the topics that you care about, and I'll see you in the next video.
