10 Tips You Must Have To Living Your Life On Purpose
Over the years, I've coached so many people who are desperately
seeking their purpose and spending an immense amount of time 'finding'
it and putting an immense amount of pressure on themselves to find it
(almost like a race against time).
I've also spoken with a large
percentage of people who felt that they knew their purpose but felt
blocked around bringing it into reality because they feared the change
that would ripple out, or they didn't feel they were worthy of having a
purpose-filled life that they loved.
Can you relate to either of these scenarios?
If so, I'd love to share with you the
10 tips to keep in mind as you strive to live your life on purpose:
1. Notice the problems that you feel compelled to fix
- there's a reason that you noticed the issue. Years ago, I met a man
on a 5hr flight back home and got to hear (in great detail)about his
passion for duck conservation. I was fascinated by his passion for all
things duck-related and his matching duck attire to boot (I'm not
kidding).
I was also struck by the fact that he was inspired to
notice the issue facing ducks, while I was not. Why was I unaware of the
serious situation facing the future of ducks? Well, because, it is not
my purpose - it is his! I notice what I notice, and that is my purpose
to participate, 'solve', or whatever the 'noticing's' are inspiring me
to do.
I share this example because I hope it will inspire you to
a) release the feeling that you need to be involved in everything and
are perhaps even worried that you're missing out (trust me, you're not),
and b) to note what you notice and then do something with that
awareness.
2. Who do you admire? What is it about
how they live their journey that resonates with you? There are so many
keys to your own purpose in noticing this. It may be the way in which
they live or the actual things they participate in - both hold keys to
the insight you are meant to glean from why they (of all of the 7
billion people on the planet) light up for you!-)
3. Notice the one issue in your life that you most struggle with no matter how you tackle it
(weight loss, relationships issues, etc). You're gaining valuable
wisdom that is helping you grow as a person, but which also needs to be
shared with others. We create these issues for wisdom but also for
connection. Think of all of the amazing people that you've met and the
experiences that you've had that likely never would have occurred had it
not been for this 'issue!'
Be grateful for that and treat the
issue like your classroom to cultivate wisdom (rather than judging
yourself for still spinning in it or not moving forward). Make sense?
4. Release the (un)conscious need to make 'finding' your purpose your purpose!
When unclear on your purpose (or the next steps on it), just be YOU as
you will call experiences to you that only you can attract. These
experiences then turn into wisdom that help to cultivate the
understanding of your purpose.
Remember: you are here to answer
the 1 question that no one else, but you, can answer... and share the 1
gift that only you can share. Being YOU in the question and the gift -
enJOY the ride!-)
5. Keep the train moving while you are waiting for the answers!
Don't allow 'finding' your purpose to put the brakes on your life or be
an energy of distraction. Your primary purpose is to BE - plain and
simple. When you are BE-ing, the infinite creative life force moves
through you and touches everyone and everything that it needs to
touch/transform by moving through you as a vessel for that light. In
this perspective, can you see how profound your purpose already is (even
without the full knowledge of your unique contribution?-)
6. Clear the blocks that keep you from living your purpose!
What would happen if you were actually living life full out with no
excuses - what would you attract, who would you meet, what would you
create?
Often people are afraid of gaining clarity on their
purpose because they fear who they are going to lose, the responsibility
they associate with their purpose, or of being alone and unsupported
(to list a few examples).
I want to invite you to give thought to
who you need to become to be the person that lives their purpose with
ease and joy - what do you need to release and what do you need to call
in to live a fulfilling purpose sans excuses?
7. Ask your higher self to show you the how! It's
not your job to know the how - you take care of being and the universe
takes care of the how - are you willing to allow it to be that simple?-)
8. Be present!
When you are grounded and embodied in the vessel that allows you to
move through life and live on purpose, you can then be in-tune to what
is coming into your awareness, you can notice what you notice, you can
allow the universe to move through you as you BE!
Your purpose is
not in the past (it has already gone) and is not in your future (it has
yet to arrive) - it's in the here and now!
9. Be purposeful about everything that you say and do! You
may not be clear on your purpose (or feel safe and supported enough to
live it) but by activating the vibration of purpose and infusing it into
your words, actions, relationships and more, you then allow purposeful
living to become a purpose-filled life. By building this muscle it will
naturally evolve into illuminating awareness of your ultimate purpose.
10. Surround yourself with inspiration and support!
You need fuel to keep going as living a purpose-filled life is a
lifetime journey. Create daily rituals, immerse yourself in
inspirational teachings to keep your vibration high, and create a circle
of support to hold you accountable to your goals, celebrate your wins
and inspire you to keep dreaming and creating!
