Six Words To Discover Your Purpose
Are you living your passionate purpose? Are you moving in a clear direction? Are you a leader in inspiring those around you? Would you like to have more confidence every day in all you do?
Here is a short, easy process to help you discover your purpose and to value your unique contribution to humanity. In just a few minutes, you can create your own purpose statement to give yourself inspiration and focus. Anytime you need some clarity, direction, and inspiration, do this simple exercise:
First of all, get out a pen and take a minute to brainstorm all of your best qualities. Make a list. When you look at the list, pick just three of those qualities which you believe are your three best qualities. List those three qualities and condense each quality into one word. For example, your quality words could be words like gentleness, positivity, empathy, enthusiasm, and honesty.
Now, after you have chosen your three quality words, write down three ways you enjoy expressing those qualities with others, using one action word for each of the three ways. For example, some of the action words or verbs you might use for ways of expressing might be words like inspiring, empowering, nurturing, etc.
The final step is to plug in the 6 words you have written down into the following purpose statement:
My purpose is to express my ____(quality 1)_______, ___(quality 2)___________, and _____(quality3)______ to __(action 1)________, __(action 2)_________, and___ (action 3)______ (with) others.
As an example, my current purpose statement today is: My purpose is to express my inspiration, interest, and initiative to inspire, empower, and connect with others. I find I like to tweak it every once in awhile to bring my purpose in line with my evolving direction. In this way, I don’t worry about getting it perfect – I know my purpose is a work in progress, continually growing and shifting like almost everything else in life.
I recommend you write out your purpose statement clearly and post it somewhere easily visible where you can read it often. It will affirm your value and your uniqueness. It will give you energy and vision to live your passionate purpose each day, inspiring others as you do.
Always remember to have fun and enjoy the process!
