What is your life purpose?

People are born with a life purpose. Some people never look for it so it remains unspoken their whole lives, but it is there. Our life purpose is the reason we are on this planet. It is the thing we are meant to accomplish, the gift we are meant to bring. Life purpose is not about a job or even a vocation. It is the around the clock, twenty-four hour, every day of our life expression of who we are when we are reaching our full potential. When you are on purpose you are fulfilled. You are contributing and making a difference. When you are not on purpose, you feel discontent and unfulfilled. Even if you can’t articulate a life purpose statement to your satisfaction, you can tell the difference between when you are on purpose and when you are not. It feels terrible, dead, disconnected when you are not on purpose and joyful when you are on purpose. If you have not articulated one, one aspect of coaching is to work on developing a life purpose statement you can use as you clarify your journey in the world. Your life purpose statement becomes a big neon sign that will help you find your way out of the swamp when you get stuck. Because it is a personal statement for your own use, it can be as grand and sweeping or as transformational as you can stand.
