In today’s episode of the Mastering Life Podcast, your host Paul Lowe interviews Bill Burridge from South Africa. Bill shares his high-level insights and own life purpose. Most people don’t know what their life purpose is. So ask yourself ‘what is YOUR purpose in life?’
Jim Britt, the coach and mentor of Tony Robbins says that your purpose is ‘what you are doing now’. Plain and simple. Bill thinks that without an understanding of what your purpose is, you will be driven by your needs. Learn how to put your life’s purpose at the centre of everything.
Ask yourself, what is your purpose? What is your gift? What is the next step? and, what do you do now? This is where Life Coaches come in, to empower you to believe and live your life's purpose. Tune-in to this podcast to learn more about life's purpose and what you need to do after you learnt about it.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
What is your purpose? This is really difficult to answer most of the time. People blank out when asked this question. But Jim Britt says that is your purpose is what you are doing now. That is it. It is more about the here-and-now. Without an understanding of what your purpose is, you think to be driven by your needs. Your needs relate to the pressures to perform that society places on you. If you are trying to keep up with what the world expects of you, you lose complete track of what your inner voice is saying to you. You become a puppet on the string, dancing to the tune of the outside world rather than being driven inner voice or life purpose.
What is your gift? People can recognize right away. They can uncover people’s purpose in life. Ultimately, if you find your life purpose and you start doing what it is that you want to do, you begin to radiate positivity. You start to contribute to the forward momentum of this world.
Change process. You do not understand what I am going through. It is very different for one of us. The only way to move on is to accept responsibility for the situation that you are in. You have to stop the blame-game. The only person to help you is you. Life coaching requires tough love.
Stepping Stones. I.N.S.I.G.H.T.S. is the process which New Insights use for life coaching:
I – intention
N – needs and balance
S – self-awareness
I – inner power
G – growth
H – higher purpose
T – taking stock
S – setting a new path
BEST MOMENTS
“I think, isn’t that just a symptom of the life we live now. We jump to judgments of people, about careers, about situations, and without really being well-informed very often.”
“Your purpose is what you are doing now... It is more about the here-and-now.”
“It doesn’t matter how long you are spending on the earth, how much money you have gathered, how much attention you have received. It is the amount of positive vibration you have radiated in life that really matters.”
“Everything belongs somewhere; the stars belong to the sky, the waves to the ocean, the rain to the clouds, the wind to the trees, the mountains to the valleys. Everything has meaning and purpose. Some need to fill something to accomplish on earth.”
“Surround yourself with people that really do care.”
“History doesn’t define your future.”

ABOUT THE HOST
Something that’s never been attached to Paul is the label ‘normal’ – for which he is immensely proud. He definitely subscribes to being one of those mentioned – in the Steve Jobs quote:
“Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes... the ones who see things differently -- they're not fond of rules... You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can't do is ignore them because they change things... they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do.”
