Finding and Living Your Life Purpose

Last night I did a very interesting tele-seminar on Finding and Living Your Life Purpose with Michelle Vandepas and Leila Reyes of Divine Purpose Unleashed. This has been by far my most requested topic and we had a great turnout for the call and lots of wonderful questions. Here are just some of the things we discussed.

Many people think of their life purpose as something they need to do, as in what job should I be doing? How do I find the thing that I should be doing? Leila and Michelle shared that, rather than being about what you’re doing your life purpose has more to do with who you are being. As they said, it’s “a full-bodied expression of who you are and the threads that run through your life.”

So whatever it is that you’re doing, whatever job it is that you have, it’s about what you bring to that by being who you were truly meant to be. Not about the job itself. It is about getting in touch with the deepest part of who you are and connecting with that.

One interesting point that came up is that the things we fear the most can often be indicators of what we are meant to be or do. One example would be if you were terrified of public speaking, feeling that you had nothing to say or to share and that nobody would be interested in anything you had to say. You might find that the opposite is true. The thing that you are pulling away from is the thing that is, in essence, who you are. I certainly have found that to be true for me. I was terrified of public speaking and resisted it for years only to find that it’s what I do most now – whether it’s on a platform, teaching a group or conducting a tele-seminar, I’m in front of people all the time. Clearly, I do have a lot to share.

One question that frequently comes up is whether you can be financially successful living your life purpose. Once again, if you’re not careful, this question can relate more to what you’re doing than who you’re being. So what Leila and Michelle shared is that when your life purpose is expressed through all of who you are – in other words, you are fully being who you are in every moment – then you cannot help but be successful. It will just flow to you.

Speaking of things flowing to you, this is where Feng Shui also can play a major role in helping you connect with that inner part of yourself and enable your life to flow. Two areas of your home that we talked about on the call that specifically relate to this would be your area of Knowledge and Self-Cultivation (front left of your home) – we covered this on last month’s call. The other area would be your bedroom. I’ve mentioned before that this is the room that is closest to you and has the biggest impact on you. Therefore when you create a room that truly represents who you are, that truly feels good to you on every level – this will help you connect with that deeper part of yourself that is the full expression of yourself – your life purpose.

Michelle and Leila shared that one of the biggest obstacles you can face when wanting to discover your true life purpose is to not see the value in your own contribution and to feel guilty for giving to yourself. In other words, making it all about everyone else and not about yourself. Learning to listen to yourself and to be true to yourself and what’s really important for you in your life is the key.
