You are a magnificent being having a human experience. You came to this blue planet with a purpose.
You have something to share with the world. You have something to contribute. You know what it is, because your heart has always been pulling you in that direction, but you’ve been too afraid to take the leap.
Anyone can make a living following their passion. If you are determined, there is always a way to create a life that makes you fulfilled and happy.
The choice is always in your hands. You alone carry the responsibility for your life.
You may not know the how. You may not even know what your passion or purpose is. The only way to find out is to start taking action and following your hearts deepest desire.
You know you’re heading in the right direction when it just feels right. There is no denying that you’re doing what you should be doing.
As you face challenges, fears, and failures on your path to success, you realize that they will pass. They are blessings in disguise. They are there to catapult you into becoming better, stronger, and wiser.
It’s all too easy to feel sorry for yourself, become frustrated, or succumb to your fears. We were born with only two fears: the fear of loud noises, and the fear of falling.
All other fears are learned, and they can be unlearned. When you face your fears, they naturally diminish. Your confidence, self-discipline, and courage grow.
You feel empowered and more in control of your life. You feel joy and happiness, because that is your internal guidance system telling you that you’re on the right track.
You are here to contribute something. You have a purpose. There are people out there waiting for you to realize this.
They are waiting to hear from you. They desperately want you to get over whatever is stopping you and put yourself out there.
The life you are living now is what you have chosen all of your life. If you’re not happy with it, change it. You have the power to transform your life into anything you want.
There is no better time to start than now. The stars will never align. Circumstances will never be perfect, so you might as well start now.
Next time you’re feeling down, frustrated, and ready to throw in the towel, remember this; you are so much more than what you give yourself credit for.
You are a genius. You are a problem-solving machine, everyone is. You can do anything you put your mind to, and you can live the life of your dreams.

Henri,
Good Morning to you. I said to myself that I was only going to open the emails that my friends sent to me that would speak to me personally. I didn’t want to open any forwards. I only wanted to hear from my friends. You email was the only one that I have choosen to open. It was exactly what I wanted. After a four month staginate period I have gone through an intense short 3 day illness and I told myself that it was only my mind detoxing so that I could move forward in my life’s passions when I felt better. I had made the decision that I would wake up today and meditate for an hour, open emails from friends and then I would again start to live my life passionatly. I consider you to be a friend and a person I can trust to give me good direction to living a life well lived. Thank you for your post today. I look forward to the beautiful day ahead filled with all of the activities that I am passionate about. I will be writting some and then I will plant two new fruit trees in my orchard.
Health, happiness and a life of bliss, Lee
I’m glad to hear that, Lee. I always look forward to your thoughtful comments.
I hope the new fruit trees turn out fantastic!
Hello Henri,
Thank you very much for such a wonderful inspirational article.
I have a quick question for you. How do you that we are born only with two fears: The fear of loud noises and the fear of falling?
Thanks a million.
Zeina 🙂
Hey Zeina!
It is called the moro reflex, you can read more about it here.
Thanks for reading!
How inspirational! How true! A wonderful start to my morning! Thank you, Henri!
Thank you for being awesome, LaTonya!
Hi Henri,
I really enjoyed this morning shot of inspiration. It gave me a wonderful boost!
Good stuff, Angela!
Henri,
Very inspiring 🙂
I liked the whole post, but especially this one:
“You are here to contribute something. You have a purpose. There are people out there waiting for you to realize this.”
It takes some serious testing to see what the right path is – deciding what is the right interest to follow if you have many of them (and – many people do).
However, if you keep searchin’, the path will finally reveal itself 🙂
I couldn’t agree more, Timo 😉
Hey Hey Henri,
Just a small picky detail not regarding to the article but I thought u might wanna know. The “pop up text” when you lay the mouse pointer over “Coaching” is showing HTML tags.
Keep writing man, I feel that you truly speak from the heart
Best success,
Rodrigo
Thanks for the pointer. It’s now fixed!
Hey Henri,
Personally I’ve always believed I had something unique to offer the world but as I grew older I was told different from people. I guess that’s just the way life goes sometimes.
I think if we can find our greatness and learn to give it to others in such a fulfilling way that we’ll be happier and living a life full of greatness and helping change the world one step at a time.
The way I sometimes look at this is if any one challenge just seems too much to deal with, maybe I’m actually not on the right track.
Any thoughts on that?
Great stuff always! 🙂
That’s a tricky one, because what seems too much to deal with can often be a negative belief that you’ve developed sometime in your life.
So it’s often your mind stopping your heart from moving forward. It’s a tough one. One of life’s many mysteries.
The question you should be asking yourself is: how has the strategy you’ve been using in the past worked for you?
Hello Henri,
But some paths are harder and less financially rewarding and which path you choose has to be balanced with how hard you are willing to work, how comfortable you are with risk and how strong your passions are about a particular lifestyle or definition of success. I used to say when teaching adult education classes on personal growth, I know a lot of ways to make money and this isn’t one of them. Different strokes for different folks. My primary value is freedom, but my wife’s primary value is security.
Riley
That may or may not be true. I believe there are always ways to make the amount of money you want doing what you are passionate about.
If you keep looking, you will find it.
Hello Henri
This article is so VERY inspirational; thank you for posting! I am really struggling with trying to find my “purpose”, but reading this gives me the encouragement to continue to dig deeper to discover that purpose.
You will find it if you keep looking, and remember, you don’t have to know exactly what it is to take action!
What an inspirational post! I believe that in order to find out your purpose and maximize your hearts desire you must connect with this “being” that is having this human experience you mention at the beginning of your post. Many people do this through meditation, prayer, concentration, focused daydreaming etc. Becoming aware and harnessing this Power, whatever you may choose to call it (God, Cosmic Force, Divine Mind, Universal Energy etc) is the key to accomplishing all of the wonderful things you have written about in this post.
Cheers,
Kwan

Thanks for this great article, Henri.
Muy acertado seguir los dictados del corazón para encontrar el camino. Seguir la intución. Las señales. Aceptar lo que la vida nos va colocando delante para que hagamos uso.
