In the pursuit of personal and professional growth, many people overlook one of the most powerful forces guiding their lives, their voids.
A void is the gaps, the perceived lacks, the things you didn’t have in the past or still don’t have now.
Instead, they are the very foundation upon which your values and vision are built.
We have just finished two weeks of The Void Determination Process™ in our Maximum Growth Community.
For me, a new void bubbled up that I hadn’t seen before: the void of relationships.
A void is a deep internal sense of something missing.
Yes, nothing is missing but in our experience of the world, we perceive something is missing.
What is missing is not random but formed through your life experiences, shaping what you seek and prioritise.
For example, I have a void of relationships, and I facilitate (as the value) to build connected and deep relationships with people to fulfil that void.
Your values are formed in direct response to your voids.
Instead of viewing voids as weaknesses, they are shaping your destiny.
What you feel is missing, you strive to fulfil.
This is why no two people have identical values, because everyone has a different set of voids.
A few examples of voids shaping values:
Void of stability → Value of financial independence
Void of acceptance → Value of authenticity
Void of guidance → Value of leadership
Void of connection → Value of community
Knowing your voids will bring you the greatest fulfilment and impact.
Most coaches want to make a difference, they want to impact the world.
Your vision is the natural extension of your values in action.
Knowing your voids that define your values, you can intentionally align them with a purpose-driven vision.
If you value leadership, your vision might involve empowering others through mentorship or building a movement.
If you value financial independence, your vision might involve creating wealth-building strategies for yourself and others.
If you value connection, your vision might involve fostering strong relationships, whether in business or personal life.
Your voids and values create a personal roadmap.
When you create your vision from this place of deep alignment, you experience greater certainty and impact.
Many resist their voids, seeing them as painful reminders of what they lack.
But what if those very voids are your greatest gifts?
They are pointing you toward your unique purpose, shaping what you care about most, and shifting the direction of your life and business.
If you are keen to know your voids, hit me up by responding ‘voids’.
