7 Ways to Discover Your Purpose

WOW. It was a whirlwind past 5-days at IDEA World and it all ended yesterday. The “Super Bowl” of all fitness conferences left me feeling equally exhausted, exhilarated and empowered. I’m sure it will take a few days to recover energetically but man is my spirit soaring.

It’s amazing when you are doing what you love to do that you can share all these emotions at the same time.

You hear me talk about the words “passion, purpose, and impact” quite a bit.

Today, I want to hone in on that word PURPOSE.

This year’s keynoter at IDEA World was Mastin Kipp. Mastin has appeared on Super Soul Sunday with Oprah Winfrey and I’ve known him for a few years now. Mastin is doing amazing work in the universe and his purpose is to eliminate trauma in the world.

His entire talk was on the importance of living with deep PURPOSE in your life. I loved it!

Here are 3 key takeaways from Mastin’s keynote on “PURPOSE” that I would like to share with you today…

  1. “The only difference between people who are thriving financially, spiritually, romantically, and in their health and those who are stuck, stagnated, and missing out on life is possessing a high sense of PURPOSE.” PREACH brother.
  2. “Fear is a compass guiding your path. Embrace it.” I LOVE THAT!
  3. “Intentionally reallocate your ENERGY from survival to GROWTH.” BOOM!!

As a matter of fact, Mastin goes on to share 12 common side-effects of living with PURPOSE:

  1. Financial Abundance
  2. Setting the example for your children
  3. Healthy love, romance, and passion
  4. Higher HDL levels/lower LDL levels
  5. Lower A1C levels
  6. Improved quality of sleep
  7. Improved immune function
  8. Lower risk of heart attack
  9. Building resilience & heals trauma
  10. Can add almost a decade to your life
  11. Improves cognitive functioning
  12. Enhances emotional regulation

Bottom line is this…it’s critical that we all live our life’s PURPOSE.

The million dollar question is always, “How do I discover my life’s purpose and know that I’m living it?”

I must get asked that question about 10x per month from people.

Here are 7 ways that I would say HOW you can discover your deepest PURPOSE in life:

  1. You pray that your deepest, divine purpose be revealed to you.
  2. You identify in your life what gifts you have and which of those brings you the most joy?
  3. You ask yourself “How can I serve and IMPACT the most number of people?”
  4. You have the courage to listen to your gut on what you are supposed to do. If you listen to everyone else and try to please everyone, you will end up pleasing no one, including yourself.
  5. You take imperfect ACTION versus perfect IN-ACTION. Just be sure to be ALL-IN to what you are doing. The only way to know if you are living your life’s purpose is that you are playing at full-throttle in your current role. Your success (or lack of) will lead you to your next step. Be a game-changer WHEREVER you are. And keep taking ACTION.
  6. When you get knocked down or get off-course, recalibrate and course-correct.
  7. Keep searching. Whether you are 25-years old or 75-years old, life is a journey and your PURPOSE continually unfolds. WHAT you do today might be different than what you are doing next year. Or even next month. But WHY you are doing it is the important thing. Keep searching for YOUR truth and tapping into what brings you the most happiness and joy. THAT is PURPOSE.

Keep searching for your deepest PURPOSE and asking yourself if you are maximizing your gifts for the benefit of mankind. And most importantly, keep living with PURPOSE to IMPACT the universe in a great way.

Much love…and much PURPOSE.

Working with Todd has been the best decision I have made in my pro career. The energy, focus, mentorship and elite training has brought me to new heights year after year.

“Get your mind right!” boomed over the speakers and the session took off like a rocket. After three long years, the Hand & Stone franchise community was gathering for our International Conference in San Antonio, TX. Our community had endured nearly three years of constant change, and we gathered to celebrate- both the rich history of the organization and the bold, new paths we were planning to walk in the future. In that space, Todd Durkin was the perfect choice to keynote our general session. The 800+ attendees were challenged, motivated, and most importantly inspired by TD’s incredibly dynamic session. Equal parts vision and actionable framework, Todd’s talk was one of the highlights of the conference, and our community left with a renewed purpose to become the very best of themselves.

President & CEO, Hand and Stone Franchise Corp.

I have known Todd since 2012 when I read his ‘IMPACT Body Plan’ book. I have been to many of his events, read all his books, listen to his podcasts, have hired him multiple times to speak at my company, and I still get coached by him today. To say he’s been a big part of the success of Nassau FG and has also had huge IMPACT on me as a father, husband, and man is an understatement. Todd Durkin is the real-deal. When I say “Iron Sharpens Iron,” TD is one of those people who sharpens me. Let him sharpen you also!

Gus Cheliotis

GENERAL COUNSEL & COO, NASSAU FINANCIAL GROUP

The time that Todd spent with our Leadership Team was focused, intentional, and direct. He inspired us to refine how we lead ourselves and our team of 160 people to ensure we are making the most IMPACT possible in their lives, our clients’ lives, and our community. His energy is unmatched and his ability to connect with individuals is remarkable.

He is transformative in the manner in which he delivers his narrative in order to connect, engage, and achieve impact at the highest levels. He is one of the great change agents anywhere – helping leaders go from great to excellence.

He is a life coach and leadership master to those who are in sports and business.

We brought Todd in for a virtual keynote for our Leadership, Education, Advocacy, and Development Group for Women. It was amazing to see how he not only connected with everyone through the screen, but you could literally feel his energy and passion as if he was living on stage with us. He not only inspired us and reminded us of the grit needed to “Get your mind right,” but also gave us actionable habits and homework to be the best version of ourselves. Todd gave us an outstanding presentation and truly inspires greatness every day!

Susan Couch

SVP Business Banking Client Manager, Bank of America

We invited Todd to have an impact on our sales and account management teams – to inspire them to think about personal health and well-being and to do so on an intellectual, emotional, and spiritual level. His presentation translated to lasting behavior change amongst our associates. From the moment Todd began his presentation, the teams were transfixed by his genuine energy and powerful, impactful messages about personal growth and accountability to the organization. Although Todd has trained many famous athletes, I highly encourage company leaders to understand that his messages are applicable to everyone in all industries. When you invite Todd to be a part of your life, your organization, you better be careful – he will make you better.

I attended the Todd Durkin Mastermind retreat in White Fish, Montana, because I know that to be a successful fitness professional and entrepreneur, I need to stay lit up and energized. Members of the TD Mastermind are passionate and elite at what they do because they put in the work and help others along the way. The TD Mastermind is a place to feel supported, cared about, seen, and inspired to do more for others. We are all on a mission, and we can’t do it alone. The members, coaches, and of course, Todd inspire me to be better and to do more. With the help of the TD Mastermind, I will go back to my community inspired and equipped with tools that needed sharpening. Montana was glorious, but this trip was all about the people.

I attended the Todd Durkin Mastermind retreat in Whitefish, MT, and have been an Institute level member since 2019. As a younger fitness professional with 8 years in the industry, joining the Mastermind has been a Godsend for my personal, professional, and spiritual growth. The Todd Durkin Mastermind consists of some of the best and consummate fitness professionals/business owners around the world, but most importantly, a goldmine of good, genuine people. Our visions, careers, service to others, and legacies require us to go deep into who we are and what we do as professionals. However, it’s the high-level coaching, support of fellow members, and commitment to sharpening each other that take us to different levels. Iron sharpens Iron.

Tim Carter

TD Mastermind Member

Joining the Todd Durkin Mastermind has been one of the best decisions, both professionally and personally I’ve ever made. To be part of a community with heart-centered leaders, who truly want the best for each other, has positively spilled into all areas of my life. The coaching from each leader and member of the TD Mastermind is world-class, genuine, and personal and has helped me grow and lead my team. I’ve had a safe community to come with any struggle, hardship, or big decision that felt overwhelming to navigate alone. We give so much of our hearts and souls in this industry, it’s important to have a place to fill back up with. Coming together at retreats gives you all the octane and more to keep chasing dreams and changing lives. Investing in the mastermind and being part of this community has proved beyond my expectations in every way. If you want to be part of a team who sees your strength, pushes you to greatness, and is there to catch you when you fall – the TD Mastermind is where it’s at!

The Todd Durkin Mastermind is my extended fitness family. Each time we gather, we seem to grow even closer as time continues to change us and our businesses. It just feels right. It is not always about crunching numbers, the number of new sign-ups, or how many programs we have running. It runs much deeper. As we grow older relationships and time become more valuable. You have only so many more clicks of the clock and encounters and experiences. They should be spent with those who elevate you. The TD Mastermind does just that!
