Your life’s purpose is the difference in the world that you, uniquely, are able to make. It’s where your passions, your talents, your opportunities, and your personality meet. It’s what you are supposed to be doing in your life and when you uncover it and live in alignment with it, it will make you feel happy and fulfilled.
For some people, their purpose is crystal clear and it always has been. They found it as a child and lived their whole life pursuing it. However, for some people, their purpose is still buried within them. Sometimes so deep they feel like they have no purpose.
That’s NOT True!
Uncovering Your Purpose
Everyone has a purpose. (Yes, that means you too). And finding it can be a journey. It might be hard work sometimes, but getting to know yourself at a deeper level and puzzling it together is fun! It will be an amazing experience and I’m 100% sure you’ll be happy you went after it once you ‘found’ it.
I’m saying ‘found’ here, but it’s important to know it’s already there. Inside you. It’s a match waiting to be lit somewhere within you. And once you light the fire of your purpose, it will make sure you never burn out.
How My Life Changed For The Better When I Found My Purpose
I didn’t always know my purpose either. A few years ago, I was in a bad place. I was doing a lot of things at once (two bachelors, an extra course, two jobs, and quite a few other things), but almost none of it brought me excitement. Most of it actually drained me of my energy and eventually that led to me being burned out. I had to quit everything and start fresh.
However, when I didn’t have anything to do anymore and all my daily routines were gone, I became depressed. Back then I felt useless and had NO idea what I wanted to do with my life. I made it my mission to re-find my passions and work my way up from there. I started my blog My Passion Projects to write about this journey.
That’s when I slowly got better again. A lot better. Now I dare say I’m the happiest I’ve ever been. I found my purpose and have my own business that is completely aligned with what I’m meant to do. I absolutely love it. I’m good at it. But, most importantly, it energizes me every day to help people with their journey and make sure they don’t fall into the same traps I did. My life has changed for the better in ways I could never imagine. Now, I’m passionate about helping others achieve the same.
The Process of Finding Your Life’s Purpose
How long it takes for you to uncover your purpose, is different for everyone. However, the most important thing is to start looking for it. Prepare yourself for the journey and be mindful of any clues that life gives you.
You can start looking for it by yourself, by asking yourself the right questions and trying things that have sparked your interested, but you’ve never actually made time for.
Or you could get some help from a purpose coach (pick me, pick me!)…
What Does A Life’s Purpose Coach Do?
A Purpose Coach helps you uncover your purpose by giving you the questions you need to ask yourself, help analyze your answers, push you when you’re discouraged and help you narrow things down and make your purpose crystal clear.
We look at your childhood memories, the roles you played in your life, your interest and passions, your skills and talents, your belief systems, your personality and much more. We leave no stone unturned.
By the end, you’ll be able to word your purpose in a sentence and explain it in a personal manifesto.
For Instance:
My purpose is to help other people uncover and create a life in alignment with their purpose by coaching them and assisting them in building a stress-free business that makes them truly happy and fulfilled.
And here’s our manifesto:
We will also help you get rid off any (mental) barriers you might have that will stop you from following your purpose and living the life you desire. We leave the BS and excuses behind and make sure you’re ready to go!
If you want to start your journey, but feel you could use some help, I hope you feel free to send us a message. We’ll schedule your free first session together where you can test the water and see if you really want to go through with it and feel like I’m the right coach for you. No strings attached.
