“How do I find my purpose?” Is a question I often hear. I think a better question is “how do I live ON purpose?”. I believe our job/purpose in this life is to experience joy and love. That simple. You don’t have to make it happen or get it all done or pay your dues or push yourself beyond your limits to please… You just need to have fun while you are living a life you create from your best self. Creating a family, career, circle of friends… is best when created on purpose from your best YOU truly and authentically YOU. Not your parent’s idea of you or anybody else for that matter but your own idea of YOU. It’s best to explore what is true for you in your beliefs around a career, family, religion/spirituality…and map out what you value. You won’t create this kind of joy and love in life by blindly following in the footsteps of your parents or living a life you planned out while you were disconnected from your true self. To tap into your own guidance system and create your own path you can to start by answering 3 questions:
1. How do I connect spiritually to myself? Meaning, how can I connect to my inner being/intuition and listen to my deeper truth? What is something you like doing alone that helps you turn down your thoughts? This is your meditation. Traditional meditation is always the best option but exercise, art, gardening, walking in nature or a mixture can also be helpful…just try to be in the moment and release any thought tangents. The more you quiet your mind and connect the stronger your intuition becomes, it’s like a muscle. You will start to notice your thoughts become softer and kinder toward others and most importantly toward yourself.
2. What do I want my life to look like in 3-5 years? Spend time daydreaming in a fun relaxing way. Write about where you live, what your day looks like, who you spend time with, what are you looking forward to etc. It’s very powerful to journal like it’s already unfolding, the more detailed the better. Make sure you focus on what you do want, never what you don’t want. Do not do this from a place of pressure/stress/sadness…it won’t work.
3. Where are my thoughts leading me? Pay close attention to your thinking! Your thoughts become your reality. If you think you are going to be late then you will be late but if you change your thinking to “I am going to get there at the perfect time”, then you will. If you keep thinking you are never going to have money for this or that then you won’t. If you change your thinking to “there’s money coming for this or that” then it will. If your thoughts around finding a partner are all about what you don’t want then you will end up with the man/women you don’t want. Change your thinking to what kind partner you do want and he/she will show up for you. Simple changes in thought will change your life. Start now!
