We all have those moments in our life that we go searching for our true purpose, finding that passion and that spark to dedicate our lives to. Some people know from a very young age others find them self exploring for years, and some people leave this earth still unsure what there real purpose is. To make it clear to you, we ALL have a purpose, we all have a spark and a drive for something that is unique to us.
Define your Hierachy of Values:
We all live our lives by a set of priorities from the "Hierarchy of Values" When ever you feel like your life is missing something you may notice a strong desire to fill the void by a particular value. These are the seven areas:
- Spiritual ( Connection or cause )
- Mental ( Intellect or Knowledge )
- Vocational ( career success )
- Financial ( Wealth )
- Familial ( Relationships )
- Social ( Connections and friendships)
- Physical ( Well- being and vitality )
Living truthfully with your authentic hierarchy of values increases the likelihood of discovering your purpose and living a fulfilling and meaningful life. You make every decision through what you value from what you spend your money on to what you spend your spare time doing consists of doing what you "value" as your highest priority.
What you "Value" Determines your "Purpose"
For example i value my Spirituality i spend money on books, meditation CDs and spiritual courses, when i have spare time i read, meditate and research spiritual practises, for me "Spiritual" value is a high priority for me. My boy friend values his "Vocational" values as he wants to strive for career success and growth in business. We all have different values, we all light up when we are talking about our highest values and we switch off when we are talking about our lowest values.
Find the values that you rank highly on your list, discover what your prioritise and from this list it will show you what you should be doing as a career.
Write your Purpose Statement:
A purpose statement is helpful as it can determine what you want to dedicate your life to, it is a statement that already exists in your life and where you want to head in the future.
How to Write a Purpose Statement:
- Open a new document on your computer- examine your hierarchy of values
- Recall the moments in your life that has inspired you the most
- Look at the common themes or characteristics in your Heroes or the people you look up to.
- Name the most meaningful actions you've taken in your career path.
- Based on these notes you can write your Purpose Statement.
This is my Purpose Statement to go off:
" I hereby declare before my self and the universe that my purpose in life is to dedicate myself to being a passionate health coach and to be a mentor to teenage girls to help them find confidence and their passion in life. It is my destiny to travel the world setting foot unpon every country on the face of the earth, sharing my teachings and stories with likeminded people and assisting people in living a inspiring and amazing life"
Its very liberating writing your purpose statement down and it also motivates you to go out and fulfil your dreams.
I hope i have inspired you,
Happy Monday.
Nikki.
