What is Your Life Purpose?

We're going to take it on faith that the deepest part of you DOES know exactly what you are meant to be and do, and has been trying to tell you all along. Today, we're going to see if we can sidestep whatever is blocking that deep sense of knowing and coax a little of it into the light.

Now you can try this now, or at a more convenient time; the questions are important but the phrasing is not crucial, just remember the essence.

After taking a few deep breaths, and quieting your spirit, write whatever comes to you in response to these questions... Remember, it should be spontaneous... no room for wavering or self-judgement. Just let it flow.

First question: if you DID know your life purpose, what would it be?

Second: If you were assured of having all the money you would ever need, but in order to have it, you would be required to volunteer in some capacity, what would you do? What causes matter to you? Who would you want to help? What would be the most fun way to help them?

Third: What do people count on you for? What are your talents? What comes easily to you? Effortlessly? We all have been taught to focus on our weaknesses, in order to improve them, but the real treasure is built by developing what is already a strength!

Next, if you could make three permanent changes in the world, what would they be?

Now take a few minutes to let the dust settle, and see if anything else comes to you. After a few moments of quiet, look back over what you have written. If any ideas jump out at you, write them down without judging.

Look through your writings. Are there any elements that could be connected? Strengthened through collaboration? You know, very often, we think that nothing will come of these pursuits. Not true. We're not thinking of material pursuits here. We're talking self-actualisation. YOU making MEANING and the world being MEANINGFUL to YOU.

Writing down your thoughts and examining them can do much for the road you pave for yourself in this life. You can uncover your life purpose. Try it today.
