Everyone wants a life they love with money, abundance, joy, peace, and passion for what they do right?
Sure! Who wouldn’t want that?
BUT-there are far too many women settling for ‘good enough’ because they aren’t sure how to get to that passionate place and while I work with many women on finding what lights them up and sets their soul on fire…my work is really about helping you tap into your purpose.
What finding your purpose really means is finding the thing that you are meant to do right here, right now.
It doesn’t necessarily mean it will be forever, but it will be something that lights you up and something you do that brings you joy.
And guess what…finding your purpose doesn’t necessarily mean making it your career…that part is entirely up to you.
If you are struggling to figure out your purpose here are a few tips to get you thinking in the right direction:
- What do you feel called to do? I’m sure you may be feeling the call to do something specific. Maybe it’s to spend more time traveling, to do more writing, start a blog, or go volunteer at a local shelter. What is it that is calling to you right now? (Hint: The first thing that popped into your mind is IT…write it down.)
- What do you LOVE to do? What kinds of things do you love to do? What do you do because it simply brings you joy? What would you do for FREE? Think about it, make a list, and write it down.
- What do you do with ease already? Think about the things people come to you for help with. What is it that you do without thinking? What are you good at? What comes naturally to you? (Hint: If you aren’t sure, ask the people who know you best.)
- What experiences of especially molded your life? Think about your past and the BIG moments that really shifted things for you. What did you need in those moments? What were you looking for at the time? What kinds of things did you need that you didn’t realize you needed until you got it? Think about it and see what themes appear.
Once you have all that information together I want you to see if there are any common themes. What pops up over and over again? You may very well be thinking…”Why didn’t I think of that???”, because finding your purpose isn’t about locating it outside of yourself…it’s about recognizing what is already there.
And I want you to know that your purpose can change and evolve as much as you do, so don’t get stuck in thinking what you do now is what you will always do. The beauty of life is that we have an amazing gift of choice and free will. Use that freedom and enjoy the process because that is what it’s all about.
