Living Congruently, your answer of the 4 questions

[Baldini]

I have in the last couple of weeks been trying to answer following questions:

What do you want to do? (Desire)
What can you do? (Ability)
What should you do? (Purpose)
What must you do? (Need)

I wanted to get clarity because at the moment I own a sandwich/Juice bar and I don't think I am expressing my purpose through that, which is unsatisfying.

Anyway I have come to following:

What do you want to do? (Desire): I want to push/develop myself to the fullest and to get a correct as possible model of reality through experimenting, financial abundance; I am addicted to adventures and taking risks.
What can you do? (Ability): Cooking, entrepreneurship/leadership,
What should you do? (Purpose) I want to improve my surroundings by being a good role model of integrity, taking risks and living in the present.
What must you do? (Need): To make a living from doing what I love doing.

So what I’m trying to find out now is finding the right medium to express my message (my purpose). My current medium is very ineffective at the moment, so I guess I need to improve on some abilities in order to find the right medium. I’m open to any form of constructive advice/inspiration.

I would also like to hear how you’re expressing your purpose in an effective way by the 4 questions?

What do you want to do? (Desire): I want to write for a living and communicate with a vast network of other Personal Growth seekers.

What can you do? (Ability): Write effectively and passionately

What should you do? (Purpose): Experience Personal Growth and share my experience and understanding with others in an effective way to help them with their Personal Growth

What must you do? (Need): Satisfy my basic needs - food, clothes, shelter in other words financial security.

I know what you're thinking - carbon copy of Steve huh? Well there's room for more then one, right...

What do you want to do? (Desire): A lot of things
What can you do? (Ability): A lot of things
What should you do? (Purpose): A lot of things
What must you do? (Need): . A lot of things

I'm not joking. To center purpose in one single thing is not right for me.

I don't know if you know the Jung-Myers-Briggs types of personality.
I'm much more an "Intuitive" than a "Senser".To make defined plans, or focus myself in one single thing, or one single way doesn't make me happy. I prefer impromptu.

Exactly.

And I think that the Law of Attraction is not the same for intuitives either.
We hardly gonna have a single focus, we have lots of intentions, sometimes one even goes against the other... We need to go changing... so we don't concentrate our energy so much to produce one special manifestation. It's a slower process for us. But more congruent with other intentions.

I share songwriter's view. My sense of purpose isn't something I can confine or describe using the four proposed categories. However, I think it's great that Baldini is taking steps to explore the nature of purpose. Each of us must do certain things alone. This is part of the process of self-discovery
