- How To Find Out Who You Are and Your Purpose in Life. How to discover your talents and strengths...This morning I woke up and read a little bit of Think And Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. I was inspired to sit down with a pen and piece of paper and start writing what came to my mind. After writing three lists of things I know about myself I was surprised to find I had created for myself an extremely eye-opening and valuable exercise that has helped me find my voice as a human being. I felt this is something I wanted to share for you...so here you go!
Step 1. Make a quick list of your aptitudes (your natural talents and things you are good at)
Step 2. Make a quick list of your specialized knowledge (training, expertise, things you know about or how to do)
Step 3. Make a quick list of your core philosophies (what do you believe, your world views, beliefs about money, love, etc.)
Watch the video and I'll walk you through the exercise and explain!

Love it! 🥰
Thank you Bre! I'm glad you found value. 👌
You seem really caring and gentle.
I'm starting a youtube channel can I get some support
He seems super selfish and full of himself to me. I wouldn’t give him any attention if I met him in real Life.
Finally! Something that really makes sense. Not a bunch of inane,platitudes. Just a good straight-forward process that works. Thank you!
I'm glad you found it practical and useful. I only shared because it worked for me too
My friends (fake names):
Naomy: Good at drawing
Sera: Good at drawing
Bekie: Good at drawing and everything
Taylor: Amazing writer
I’m nothing...
5 years later I bet you're something now ;)
Going on my knees praying and fasting is how I find purpose! Having a personal relationship with Yeshua Ha Massiach my Redeemer that brings my to Yehovah Tzevahot our Abba.
three minutes in to your video and i already have so much in common with you. Its both awesome and a little scary.
Same, it's crazy
Doc after 3 minutes into the video I fell asleep
Maybe you are family .
Same here!
Same here wtf
Do people not realize that THINK AND GROW RICH is a TONED-DOWN version of Napoleon Hills law of success in sixteen lessons? Listen or read the original they pulled it off the shelf back then because they knew how accurate it was and then put out the toned down version which is think and grow rich. Forget the second one, read or listen to the original!!
What’s the name of the original book?
@@sage627 Napoleon hills laws of success in 16 lessons.
God lays this out too.. kudos to those who follow this advice. Get going for your purpose.. every single person has a gift of some talent..
You seem like a very kind soul. That can be part of your talents aswell: your softness, gentleness, warmth, your empathy... :)
step 1:find your talents and what I'm good at.oh..easy.....nothing!
Listen if you don't think you have any talents try switching hobbies over and over again and trying to get good at what ever hobbies you like I did this and I have a lot of skills but no "Talent" that nobody else I know has.
_manga_maniac_ there is no such thing as talent. Talent is a misconception of obsession.
_manga_maniac_ forget that word talent, replace it with skills and if you still don’t know then volunteer at a bunch of places and seek what makes you feel good.
@@benljeffery amazing phrase right there, much respect. Is it from you? or someone famous. either way RESPECT!

@ 6:10 in you said "I Learn more from the process of Teaching than even Learning".. Most men live a lifetime and never discover this truth.. you are a wise young man who will grow wiser w/each encounter.. because you have learned the secret of giving yourself to others & how it empowers us beyond our capacity to even articulate what has occurred when we do.. keep pouring out and you will keep filling .. ;)
Great feedback and excellent point. Thank you for your comment and the nudge to keep it up!
+Mohamed.adnane Al Khiati be very careful to box everyone in with yourself. Just because you know something at a young age doesn't mean all others do too. 😊 glad you're watching these videos at such a young age.
Very good point! I would love to add that on to my mindset!
you articulate very well :)
randywatchingbush this sounds like something yoda would say.. just flip some words around and add his voice and his noises he makes and boom! solid yoda speech.
I followed your 3 step plan and I am one of those who has to rethink everything and find that by the time I am finished rethinking I have talked myself right out of it (looking at everycase scenerio) However in writing it all down I discovered a few things about myself and what I came up with is that it's somehow all related to my voice and no not singing lol thank it is a start!!!
With all the stuff I do i find im generic with just about everything I do. I dont feel special in anyway and seem like I can never ready the heights of things I want to do i always fall short or just behind everyone else
First of all I just want to say I love your tone of voice - calm but focused... And secondly just want to thank you - I also read Think and Grow Rich but somehow missed this exercise - did it now and it gave me so much clarity en peace.. Thanx bro*
"Gratitude is the true source of happiness"
One of the first things we should do is get before our creator and ask him what he created us to do.
Then, be quite & listen for his answer.
This video was very helpful to get these things on paper that we can think about our aptitude’s
skills & interest. And become better acquainted with our particular design & then purpose.
The thing is there’s nothing that I am good at and it really makes me feel like my life is pointless
Never think that way about yourself! You are valuable!
same ha ha ha high five for self deprivation!! woo poggers please help me
Dont listene to people saying you are valuable when you yourself know that statement is empty when it concerns you.
If you dont know what to do, do something.you will find your purpose along the way.
Focus all your time amd energy into one thing and you will bloom. Thats it
Example:
If you dont know hlw to play the piano and i give you one, nothing will come out of it.
But if you dedicate yourself to it. Keyhole all your potential and time into the piano
You will explode at the other side of the door and the amount of thing you can do with and learn from the piano will be unlimited.
@@dumbass3843 I'm in a much better place mentally than I was last year but thank you sm for the response. Literally at the time an answer like what you said would have been great at the time. I know it sounds stupid but during the lockdown I tried playing football manager (ik it sounds stupid compared to learning something like the piano) but I tried playing l football manager, alright I'm not great at it but I'm much better than I used to be. I think it just shows how powerful games are really and how they really take your mind off problems in life.
Thanks a lot though for the response, I know it was a year late but it was definitely one worked. 👍🏻
@@ld4v631 glad to hear
I dont care what game you play, i do myself
If you know how to play a game
Learn how to get better
Try new things by thinking outside the box
And start to focus when a new challenges present themselves
Guess what?
Every other aspect of your life is the same
Eric you just very clearly described very similar things to how I feel my strengths and weaknesses are. Thank you
I'm definitely gonna try this out!! Thanks so much😊
Thank you for the value you have given us (your audience) in this short video. The 3 list are the perfect guidance I was looking for - so thank you all the way from Western Australia :-)
your an empath perhaps, you think like me, think things thru planning, your safety is in your planning which makes you very wise in the sense of your talents, love what you do
Proud of you for sharing this. I’m learning how to better communicate, perspective was the keyword for me in this vid. I admire you
I lucked out, this guy landed in my life last year and now hes my business partner and I get access to his advice 24-7 I should be paying him because hes the real deal. Love this video man
Pay me Jordan! haha Brotha I should be paying you! Thanks for the feedback.
DEBT TO OWE
Thanks for sharing this. I'm still wondering what my purpose is but this is a great way to start figuring it out! Awesome.
Excellent my brother. Excellent. I can hear the absolute passion you have for knowing who you are And trying to help others did their way. you're on the right track
Now I'm planning a hangout with my friends just to put clarity and motivation for my future.
Thanks for this video, dude.
Great how you put this in simple form. ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE
Thanks so much for the video! Working on it now! In the process of figuring it all out! :)
So I got up at 330 am and did my meditation. On an inspired thought, I searched for a video like this. For whatever reason I chose this video and I'm glad I did. On surface we look very different but when you started describing natural gifts, I knew why I was suppose to watch this video. thank you for this video it has helped me this morning on my journey to greatness.
+Darnesha Grays So good to hear Darnesha! It's too cool to hear this kind of feedback. Like you, I just woke up one morning and was doing some morning studying and meditating. That's when I felt inspired to start writing some things down. Before I knew it this exercise popped out on paper and I did it for myself. It seemed so simple to do, yet so clarifying. It sounds like you are aligned with the same inspiration. I encourage you to keep it up..and then contribute what insights you've gained with others. Pay it forward! Thanks again for the feedback! I'm inspired to make more videos ;)
I shot a video of myself this morning after months of procrastination. It just seemed like everything shifted and I hope to see more from you.
this actually helped. makes me think in a different way. thanks!
Hey, man, thank you for this video. Looks like you are challenging yourself and thus growing intensively. I wish you the best.
This was helpful, thank you! It's refreshing to see someone on CZcams who is genuinely trying to help people without trying to get them to subscribe or buy this or that.
you have simplified it really . There are lot of distractions and to make it simple with personal experience Woww. Best is give it a try. Thanks
I like the "lock pick" approach to problem solving...there's always a way. Great description.
Thank you for sharing this video Eric! I clicked on it by chance and it was exactly the kind of inspiration I was looking for to get clear vision of myself. Funny thing is your list matches mine!
Thank you so much I found out my talents I'm good at singing ,dancing and drawing :)
Bravo!!! Thank you for this video. This is what I'll take from this video: use knowledge to easy anxiety!!! Love it!!!
This is just what I was looking for... thanks! Great video. Can't believe it's been here for 3 years and this is the first time I've seen it.
This video popped up on my 'recommended videos' and CZcams must know me well because I couldn't agree more with you. I'm so glad that after your epiphany you decided to film and share what you came up with. Blending the 3 lists is a brilliant way to bring your passions and gifts to life, most people don't break it down like this. It's logical, rational, AND spiritual- the formula to bring it reality. I'm also a big picture thinker so it was cool to see you mirror back to me what I see in myself. You're a rad guy with that has an important message to share with people, keep sharing your light and vulnerability, it's appreciated. ~ Tiffany
well said! totally agree!
Eric, thank you for these ideas. I have been playing around with this approach for a while. I would suggest for your consideration that there is a forth:fears, unresolved issues, resistance, trauma, and other experiences that when resolved and worked through, they are additional resources and potential ways to serve others.
Love the simplicity of even your words bro. Thanks! That was helpful. How do I want to show up ? Insightful and causes some good thought! Thank you again.
Amazing vid bro just wanted
To add that happines is what you are ecstasy bliss love is all what you are now just find something you love to do or just do what is needed both are genius much love
One of your strongest gift is teaching.
Came here to find out what Im good at it just reinforced my thought that I suck at everything,well great
Thank you for sharing this! Very helpful
Go Eric! You should teach a Life Clarity Finding course at a local community college. Lots of young people could use this and you seem relatable.
thank you so much for this very helpful. I will try it. Tough when have alot of gifts and interests and can't decide on which one to choose as career path and income generation
Thank you for this Video! Lots of love to you infinite being! ❤❤❤❤❤
Everybody here should look up BOB PROCTOR, who founded the Proctor Ghallager institute
Damn dude, just stumbled across this video, and you seem like such a genuine dude!
I figured we have a lot of things in common except from the skills. I feel my purpose is more than I can take cause it involves a whole lot. But, thank you for your advice, I'd try to narrow them down one after the other.
This helps a bunch you and I are extremely alike, love this vid.
This video was so simple and to the point it wasn’t hard but informative thank you for keeping it simply simple clarity is everything
thank you for your honest, pure advise to help us out
Thank you!
One of the best videos on this topic. I've seen a lot of them and this one is a lot more on point.
I'm starting a youtube channel can i get some support im not trying to beg just getting the word out there
Excellent Eric! I enjoyed this approach to challenging ourselves and defining the best of what we can offer ourselves and others
Thanks for this brother. Appreciate it.
you seem such a genuine bloke - thank you
Amazing video this reaffirmed like made definite sure what I already thought my purpose is. It newly made me aware of my natural aptitudes and ways I can use my gifts to bless the world through them using my specialized knowledge and my core philisophies. Thank you very much.
Thank you Jesse! I'm grateful for your feedback and happy what I shared was empowering for you.
Great video! Thanks for sharing this technique that you tried and for sharing your answers!
💫❤️
Loved everything you spoke about 🙏✨ your appreciated and really would enjoy watching and listening to more videos!! It's your Talent 🥰💜🌷😀
Thank you. I have 6 new videos coming soon. Just filmed them. Stay tuned! Thank you for the encouragement
Keep up the good work Aeric.
I get bored easily. Doesn't matter what I do with my life. I eventually get bored. PLS HELP
+Ely Hoshea “The best way not to be bored is to do what you like doing, typically something you’re good at.” - I think you may enjoy this article www.psychologytoday.com/blog/open-gently/201212/why-people-get-bored. I understand where you are coming from Ely. I would spend some time with this exercise and even revisit often to dial in on what lights you up. Creating a morning routine for yourself that includes self-reflection and ingesting inspirational or motivational info will also be of massive benefit. Some great books are "Think & Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill and "How to Win Friends & Influence People" by Dale Carnegie. Just feed your mind every morning (even if you only have 4 minutes to spare!) and you will experience a shift much sooner than you might expect. Thanks for your question and I hope this helps!
Erik Hirsch man the fuck up... pathetic
Same😭😭
Put your life on the line.do something u neglected. Start praying to god with a power(important. ) full reason.raise your standed.
I know me to but then I realized that i was not doing what i was suppost to be doing in my life and i felt empty but when i found out what i was suppost to be doing and started doing that it began to fill me with life again lol if that makes any sense
Thank you for this video it's really inspiring and I'm excited to give this a try
thank you for sharing your wisdom
Thank you bro..it was helpful..Keep seeking the truth about yourself and life..
I have a lot of things in common with you. very creative and compassionate being. Attractive as well. Thanks for info! Well try this week
I’m already overwhelmed listening to him.
Thank you for this video.
Great video! Thank you. Gratitude is everything.
Thanks for sharing ur list !
thank you
THANK YOU
Thank you for giving perspective! This was informative and you're right, knowledge does ease anxiety
AskHeatherG you are missing something
@@stefandwoodham that gives her anxiety, not cool🙁
EXCELLENT! Thanks VERY much!
Going into high school in a month this has helped me better clear my path
That's awesome! Happy to hear this. Thanks for sharing your results!
You have such a chill vibe
Thank-you so much. I am grateful for your suggestions. You offer a great perspective on finding your purpose and I plan to do your three list exercise. Such a wonderful gift!
You're welcome! Thank for the feedback and I'm happy you found value in the exercise!
I need a friend like u in my life!
Very good. Instead of going to school and wasting time w useless facts, learn what u are good at, and train mostly on it. Mine was acting, so I was homeschooled and sent to an acting school. I also play guitar, keyboard and sing.
I needed this to figure out my aptitudes
Unbelievably but literally you described me and my qualities. I really would like to know what to do now, in which business you find yourself? Maybe it would help me to better understand myself and my possibilities. Thank you and wish you all the luck
Thank you for this video
Hi Eric, I am watching your video and reminds me that I’m actually where you are at 5 years ago when recording this video! Definitely helps! I’m hoping to learn how to do what you do.
Thank you for helpful video ;)
It's means a lot to me , I will consider my skill again :)
Eric, thanks for making this VDO. I had tried many different exercises to identify my purpose in life but I have never been successful. You have made it so simple to understand and apply. Thanks once again.
You're welcome Bernard! I totally get how hard it can be to get clear on what direction to take. I'm happy what I found helpful was able to help you and others as well. Thanks for the feedback!
Thank you so much! This is helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much this video was very informative
WOW! You provided this info 2 yrs ago and you are still getting comments. That just shows how you are filling a real need out here. Thank you for providing the clarity exercise. By the way has this information helped you to make any big decisions in the last 2 yrs? And is there a follow-up or Part 2?
Being an indecisive Libra that’s good at everything...🙇🏾♀️
Are you sure? 😜
Your bad at one thing tho your bad at reasoning because am pretty sure if you someone is good at reasoning they won’t believe in zodiac sign
@@saysamnang9851 Who said I believe in them?
dude seriously great video i love it thumbs up ! it is what i been looking for , for a pretty long time :) serious man keep up the good work hope you make more like this in the future !:)
Thanks for the feedback Cesar! I'm glad my experience was of value to you and do expect more videos from me very soon.
just wooow, this is incredible. Like really, you are so inspiring. I get motivated and think in a different way, i don't know how to explain this. That one video could change my whole mind, thank you! you seem like a sooo talented guy and know what you want in life. That is my biggest dream and priority, to know what i want and see people from another perspective, to see them in a different way. Thank you so much!
Divjanaa You're very welcome and I'm glad it helped you out! I recommend you read Think and Grow Rich as well. You will be amazed at your own ideas and inspirations like I had. We call can tap into "source energy" and gain access to powerful insights.

Great value. I just had an epiphany. Thanks so much 🙏
Thanks for taking the time to share your process. Unfortunately, I'm not picking up what you're putting down at all... But I hope someone can figure it out and benefits from it.
This was a great video. I very much enjoyed it. I will check out the book and try this exercise. I feel i have been blessed with quite a number of talents, (artistically) however I have no idea what to do with them, or myself for that matter. :(
I feel like everything you mentioned here was about me.
Thank you for this video. It's very much appreciated.
You should make more videos. You have a great voice and presence. :)

I am just like you eric!
Super helpful for starting a journey of purpose. Good on ya
I am so depressed at your abilities. You are so good at so many things. I am in my 50s, feeling alone and down and your kind words have fallen flat on me as was hoping to be inspired. However I have subscribed as I might be in a better place to hear your words one day.
Hi K Hum. Thank you for sharing your experience. In my experience, most people feel like you do at times, me included. I'm sure you have abilities and social talents that you are giving yourself credit for. I recently heard someone say that when you have nothing to look forward to, you feel depressed. If you don't feel you have "talents" or "abilities", then you might consider joining some local meetup groups or facebook communities where you could learn new things and meet new people. Often, something as simple as having an event to look forward to and a community to be part of will help pull you out of a rut. Give yourself credit. You didn't make it to your 50's without abilities and talents...it's impossible. Try my exercises and be nice to yourself. See what you discover!
