AN EXERCISE FOR LIVING YOUR
TRUE PURPOSE So let’s try to find
expression for those deeper desires. Here’s a valuable exercise: Write freely for a paragraph
or more about something you would really like to accomplish. You can consider
what you want to accomplish this year, or even this lifetime. Write without
editing, in a brainstorming fashion. After you have your unedited
statement on what you want to do, boil it down to a sentence or two.
Here are a couple of
examples from students who have taken our Holistic Healing course: “Create the
highest degree of physical, emotional, mental and spiritual wellness in myself
and others using holistic methods.” “I assist
people to see who they really are so they can live with clarity, focus, ease and
grace.” When you can
describe what you do, what your purpose is, it gives a good foundation for
living your purpose. Remember, too, that purpose can continue to be clarified
and evolve in your understanding of it. Of course,
your purpose will be unique to you and fit your interests, strengths, and gifts.
As we become more guided by our soul, our purpose becomes clearer, and can be
translated from moment to moment. Following your soul’s guidance brings
genuine excitement. How will you
know that you are making progress? Your thoughts, feelings, intuitions, and
actions will define and advance your purpose. You will build your own niche,
filled with your uniqueness, strengths, and skills. As we follow
our soul’s inspiration and bliss, we lead a life filled with more joy,
service, and creativity. That seems about the best thing we can do for ourselves
and the planet. For more
information on your true purpose, see our works Getting Thru to Your Soul
and Awaken to Your True Purpose (now
in CD format).
