Struggling To Find Your Purpose? Here Are Best-Selling Author Boyd Varty's 3 Rules For Merging “Work,” “Mission,” And “Meaning.”

The most prolific life coach of the last 3 years is lion tracker and best-selling Author Boyd Varty.

From Boyd's book "The Lion Tracker's Guide To Life," I distilled 3 rules for living a purposeful life. This is a must-read for anyone trying to find their path in life, whether it’s making your next career move, choosing a partner, navigating relationships, or carving a different route.

Here’s the breakdown:

Rule #1: Don’t try to be someone, rather find the thing that is so engaging that it makes you forget yourself.

People are not looking for the meaning of life.

They are actually looking for the feeling of being alive. Because happiness is not an emotion of its own but the byproduct of a life filled with excitement, joy, and meaning.

Rule #2: I don’t know where I am going but I know exactly how to get there.

Most people with grand visions and a desire to do something great think they need an entire plan from A to Z to get there.

When actually, it’s the opposite. Boyd writes, "If you go and get some of what you need, you might get a second first track. The journey to transformation is a series of first tracks."

Trust your instincts―you may not know where you are going, but you know exactly how to get there.

Rule #3: Learn to be in the process of transformation.

You must be invested in the process of discovery rather than an outcome.

Dial huge possibilities into small daily actions and trust that doing enough of what needs to be done today will, with time, render a path and an outcome that could be great.

Then, and only then, will you follow in the footsteps of lion tracker and prolific life coach Body Varty by welcoming more of what makes you feel good into your life and doing less of what makes you feel lousy.
