1. EVERYONE HAS A LIFE PURPOSE - it is not just for the elite few
You were born with a unique DNA and a distinctive way of expressing this. Everyone has a unique purpose. It is not just for those we deem as special or heroic.
You may have a number of ways of living out your Life Purpose; some will be longer lasting than others.
2. SOCIETY MAY PULL YOU AWAY FROM YOUR LIFE PURPOSE RATHER THAN SUPPORT YOU
Often society will tempt you to work for the wrong reasons that are not aligned with your purpose. By knowing your values, you can make sure you are not being pulled away.
3. LIFE PURPOSE IS FOUND WHEN OUR UNIQUE PASSION AND MEANING INTERSECT WITH THE NEEDS OF SOCIETY
When we are able to discern where we get our meaning from, and both our personal and work life are aligned with a recognised need, then we can live out our Life Purpose.
4. LIFE PURPOSE MUST EMBRACE OUR EVERYDAY WORK
We spend the majority of our time at work. If we do not find our Life Purpose in our work, we have missed the point.
5. LIFE PURPOSE IS NOT JUST DEFINED IN TERMS OF YOUR JOB
It is important to find a Life Purpose that encompasses all areas of your life. Without this, your life will be compartmentalised and you will not generate the passion and energy that could be gained from allowing your Life Purpose to transcend all areas of your life.
6. FINDING YOUR LIFE PURPOSE IS A JOURNEY OF AWARENESS THAT MAY TAKE MANY YEARS
For a few, life purpose is clear from a young age, although the application of it often needs to be worked out. For some this can be a long process that needs to be worked on and attention devoted to, leading to greater self-awareness and discovery. Do not be discouraged if you are finding this difficult. Many experience the same.
