I’m passionate about seeing people maximize their potential, fully express whothey are and walk in the purpose of their life. I use my gifts and abilities to be of
service to others – to listen intently, guide towards breaking down blocks andfears and understanding each one of us has a purpose. My focus is helping
clearly realize your aspirations for yourself. I want you to feel that everymorning when you wake up, you’re facing the day engaged in a life that you love
and find meaningful; that you feel in alignment with your life’s purpose; thatyou’re serving from your highest level; and that your daily life is harmony with
your values. I don’t believe that this aspiration is too big or too unrealistic. Ibelieve that you can structure your life to pursue your dreams and while youcannot control what will happen to you, you can control how you tackle day to
day. I am living proof that you can overhaul your life in this way and I work withamazing clients every day to help them move in the direction of their dreams!
Finding Your Purpose Worksheet Passion + Daily Actions = Purpose-Filled Life
As a child, I would have grand conversations with myself about what I would bewhen I grew up. I ran the gamut of archaeologist, lawyer, graphic designer,
computer scientist, nurse, theologian and historian. Basically I wanted to do itall. While I worked to narrow down that list I wondered, “Why am I here? What is
my purpose in life?” I knew early on I had certain traits that propelled metowards helping others. It felt right and brought me tremendous joy. As I gotolder I thought deeply about what that ultimately meant for my life and how Icould walk on that path every day. It started to become clear to me what my
purpose was. I honed in on how I would change my life so my purpose alignedwith my everyday life. I didn’t want it to be just something I picked up on the
weekend when time allowed or as the thought crossed my mind. It didn’thappen overnight. It took a few years to fully understand exactly what my
purpose was and how I could live in that place every day.
I learned quickly having a career and having a purpose are two different things.Having a career means having a job which produces a source of income. It maynot necessarily be something you love or like but instead allows you to put food
on the table and pay bills. In comparison, having a purpose directly relates towhat you’re most passionate about. Your purpose brings you joy filling your
days and nights with something that makes you feel whole. You’ll notice whenyou’re living your purpose you’re not as tired when you’re engaged in what
you’re meant to do. Every day you feel more fulfilled, happy and settled. Somehave been able to weave their purpose into their career. Those who have
accomplished that worked diligently to make one marry to the other so thejourney is rewarding and lucrative.
DID YOU KNOW
That feeling that something is missing goes away when you lead a
purpose-filled life. The real purpose of anyone's life is to be fully
involved in living it. Discover your purpose.
