DEFINING YOUR TRUE DESTINY
by Dorene Lehavi, PhD

Coaches and others speak about reaching your potential, but they often ignore making the distinction between two types of potential. One will make you feel fulfilled, confident, brilliant, loved; helping you to realize your life’s purpose…and make you know that you more than you think you are. The other should add to your happiness and sense of joy and well-being, but it may not.

1. The first kind of potential is BEING you.
2. The second is DOING what you do. Tobey Maquire, the actor, once said it in other words in an interview in Parade magazine, “Acting is what I do. It is not who I am.”

We all know very successful people at the top of their game, who seem to have it all, but are still unhappy. It is usually because the achieving has all been in the DOING category and not in the BEING. How does this happen? One of the ways is that people get caught up in the opportunities which come along and find themselves taking advantage of a job opportunity which might actually veer them off of their true course; thus going away from themselves.

What does it mean to go away from yourself? You have a core which is comprised of your best self: your values, talents, life purpose, and brilliance. If you ignore yourself when you take a path that does not allow you to live these aspects, you have gone away from yourself. It gets worse when what you do on a daily basis is in direct conflict with those aspects of yourself.

Being Versus Doing – Do These Stories Sound Familiar?

• Janet, for whom warmth, music, color, designing and healing others, were her most fulfilling talents and interests, chose to go to law school to fulfill her parents’ dream for her. She is quite successful, rising in the firm and accumulating wealth, but she never feels whole or fulfilled. In fact, lack of fulfillment is only part of the picture. By compromising her values in facing the adversarial nature of her work on a daily basis, she is suffering from the symptoms of stress and hates facing each day that she has to get up and go to work.

• As a young boy, Ted had a talent and interest in the intricacies of building and fixing things and being outdoors. Instead of following a career path that would have been a true expression of his best talents, he went to college for an MBA in order to make money. Instead of work clothes, he wears a suit and tie. He may be good at finance, but feels something is missing. Not only is the fulfillment lost, but his core values are compromised on a daily basis.

Make your way out of the jungle! Go on your own journey of self discovery to find your core values, talent and life purpose. Your life is waiting! Take the next step.
