What Is My Purpose?

If you are like many successful achievers “what is the meaning of my life” questions run in the back of your head as you navigate the day-to-day logistics of life. 

Am I on the right path?

What’s my purpose?

Why am I here?

What was I born to do?

Is this it?

Don’t have a clear answer to these questions? Give yourself a break … It’s not your fault! 

Discovering and pursuing your purpose is critical to living in alignment. So why is this not taught as a part of school curriculum? Quite simply the primary purpose of traditional schools is to crank out obedient and submissive workers.  Workers who will be a cog in the machine and not independent thinkers… I’ll avoid stepping on the soapbox. Many schools are starting to break that mold, but for those of us already in the workplace what do we do?

Going beyond traditional education is required to achieve your full potential.  You’ll need to explore self-paced curriculum options and programs that exist to connect you with new insights. Read books or connect with mentors that will help you achieve a new perspective.

Otherwise, you’ll get lulled into thinking your job title defines your identity. Or your paper degree validates your worth. 

Personally, I thought that a piece of paper and fancy letters after my name would somehow validate who I was and define my purpose… well…errrr… let’s just say that was a painful detour lasting over a decade. 

The good news is that your journey of self-discovery doesn’t have to take decades.
