It wasn’t so long ago that I decided to embark on an authentic life adventure to pursue a new life direction. I stepped out before I knew how it would all turn out.

In this episode, I offer 5 practical suggestions to help anyone figure out his or her life direction.

I share my own story—failures and all—to give some context and challenge listeners to get intentional about life so they can truly live a story worth telling.

I talk about Steven Pressfield and his “shadow calling” concept.

I highly recommend his books if you are thinking about stepping out in a new direction. He is not a Christian as far as I know, but 98% of his wisdom is good stuff. A few of his books:

Turning Pro: Tap Your Inner Power and Create Your Life’s Work
The War of Art: Break through the Blocks and Win Your Inner Creative Battles

Other resources I mention and highly recommend to help you discover your calling and life direction:

The Art of Work: A Proven Path to Discovering What You Were Meant to Do — Jeff Goins
Now, Discover Your Strengths and StrengthsFinder.
StandOut 2.0: Assess Your Strengths, Find Your Edge, Win at Work
The Truth about You: Your Secret to Success

I mention the awesome new workshop from The John Maxwell Company: Discovering Your Authentic Leadership Style that incorporates the RightPath assessment, as well.
