Your Must: Your Purpose in Life

3 Unexpected Ways to Find Your Life Purpose

---

What exactly is it? For the spiritual folks, they may see it a higher calling.

For the religious, they may see it as an instruction from God. Some of you may ask, why have a life purpose? Why not just live life as we know it and ignore everything else? Why not chill out and relax until we die? A life purpose is the first step to live your most conscious life. With a clear purpose, you can then set the right goals and plans, and take the right daily steps to create your most meaningful life.

This big picture is your life purpose. When you know your purpose, it helps you differentiate between the important and unimportant.

Get a fleet of cars! I share more in my purpose story in part 4 of the series. This starts with knowing your life purpose. This in itself is magic.

Why Have a Life Purpose?

This is what happened to one of my coaching clients, Anna. Without a life purpose as the compass to guide you, your goals and action plans may not ultimately fulfill you. After working with more than a million people all over the world, I have come to believe that each of us is born with a unique life purpose.

Identifying, acknowledging, and honoring this purpose is perhaps the most important action successful people take. For some of us, our purpose and passion in life is obvious and clear. My children are prime examples of clear purpose. It was clear from the moment they got on the planet what they were interested in. One son wanted to draw all the time, and he is now in the art world.

5 Reasons You Should Have a Life Purpose

My stepdaughter is also in the arts — she began singing and drawing when she was two. And my stepson is in the business world.

He was making business plans and selling things to his friends by the time he was in middle school. They all had natural talents that were clear indicators of what they ended up ultimately being passionate about. We are all born with a deep and meaningful purpose that we have to discover.

You have to uncover it in order to create the life you want. Of course, it takes work to develop your talents- even the most gifted musician still has to practice-but it should feel natural, like rowing downstream rather than upstream. I love to teach, to write, to coach, to facilitate, to train, and to develop transformational seminars, workshops, and courses.

I love to bring other leaders together for conferences and to co-create new approaches to our work.

These things come easy for me. Although I invested many years in learning how to master these skills, I loved every minute of it. In other words, work is required, but suffering is not. If you are struggling and suffering, you are probably not living on purpose. First, ask yourself, What are two qualities I most enjoy expressing in the world? Mine are love and joy. Second, ask yourself, What are two ways I most enjoy expressing these qualities? Mine are inspiring and empowering people. I inspire people with the moving stories that I tell in my seminars and that I write about in my books, and I empower them by teaching them powerful success strategies that they can apply in their own lives.

Take a few moments and write a description of what the world would look like if it were operating perfectly according to you. In my perfect world, everybody is living their highest vision where they are doing, being, and having everything they want. Finally, combine all three into one statement, and you will have a clear idea of your purpose. What if I told you that you have your own guidance system within you that can help you get from where you are in life to where you want to go?

It tells you how to get from point A to point B.

When you get in your car and are heading to a specific destination, what is the first thing you input into your GPS? First, it finds your current location. For the system to work, it simply needs to know your beginning location and your end destination. The navigation system figures out the rest by the use of an onboard computer that receives signals from multiple satellites and calculates your exact position. Then it plots a perfect course for you. All you have to do from that point on is follow the instructions it gives you to reach your destination.

All you have to do is decide where you want to go by clarifying your vision, then lock in your destination through goal setting , affirmations, and visualization, and then start taking the actions that will move you in the right direction. A table by the window, front row seats at a conference, first-class tickets, a room with an ocean view, or a loving relationship. In other words, once you clarify and then stay focused on your vision you can do this with a vision board or meditation , the exact steps will keep appearing along the way in the form of internal guidance, creating ideas, and new opportunities.

Once you are clear about what you want and keep your mind constantly focused on it, the how will keep showing up—sometimes just when you need it and not a moment earlier. You were born with an inner guidance that tells you when you are on or off course by the amount of joy you are experiencing.
