My friend Cindy and I were discussing our life purposes (doesn't everyone) and she told me that Jack Canfield had an easy exercise for this. I found it at jackcanfield.com (thanks, Cindy). Positive change begins with awareness.
Life is not a sprint, but a marathon, so if you don't currently know your life purpose, this is the perfect time to figure it out. It's never too late. If someone tells you it's too late, don't listen:)
"The Life Purpose Exercise
The Success Principles describes a simple process that can help you identify your passion in as little as 10 minutes.
The process involves answering three questions:
1. “What are two qualities I most love expressing in life?” For me, it would be love and joy.
2. “What are two ways I most love expressing those qualities?” For me, it’s inspiring people with stories like the Chicken Soup books and empowering people through my live trainings, home study courses, books, DVDs and teleseminars.
3. “What would the world look like if it were perfect right now, according to me?” For me, it would be that everyone was living their highest vision in the context of love and joy.

3. “What would the world look like if it were perfect right now, according to me?” For me, it would be that everyone was living their highest vision in the context of love and joy.
Once you have answers to all three questions, you can combine them into a single statement. My life purpose is to inspire and empower people to live their highest vision in the context of love and joy, and for the highest good of all concerned.
To identify ways that you can live your passion, ask yourself this additional question: “On a scale of 1 to 10, how actively am I living this passion, or how actively am I living this purpose?”
If your answer is anything less than a 10, ask yourself, “What would I have to do to make it a 10?” The answers that you come up with are the action steps you need to take so that you can begin living your passions on a day-to-day level."
Here are my personal answers:
My unique qualties are: empathy and being a nurturer.
Two ways I enjoy expressing these are: one-on-one appointments and working with groups using humor and love to help others understand how to take care of themselves, using the belief that we all are worthy and deserving of unconditional love.
A perfect world for me is loving, kind, thoughtful, fun, and passionate.
Putting it all together: My purpose is to use my talents of being empathetic and nurturing to assist individuals and groups in learning how to take care of themselves with unconditional love, in order for them to become their best loving, kind, thoughtful, fun, and passionate selves.
Yahoo!! It's a wonderful feeling to speak my personal truth. If you are doing the exercise yourself and negative self-talk comes up, make note of it as something to be targeted for change in the future. We all deserve to live our best lives. You are magnificent!!
Have a wonderful day!
