purpose puts your happiness, fulllment, and peace of mind into one possible future instead of the present. This plan requires that you nd your purpose then work towards your goal and then have fulllment. This course will show you ways to have the experience of purposeful living immediately. You don t have to wait to fulll your potential. You can do it now. Signicance kills Looking at your life purpose as a thing to discover creates a false signicance. It becomes a BIG DEAL to start anything. Is this really the right thing? What if I pursue this dream and I fail... This kind of thinking stops you from doing anything. It makes the stakes seem too high for the risk. Thinking this way postpones the necessary experiences that teach you about yourself and about your true desires. It is okay to start without having all the answers. Its good to start without having all the answers. That is how you get the answers. A purposeful life comes from a cycle of self discovery and action and more self discovery.
thrill you. Acknowledging what you don t like and what you aren t good at is as important as knowing your passions and talents. It is just as much a part of you. What activities do you do that are really unenjoyable? What makes you crabby? What bores you? What do you do that you aren t any good at? What are you always avoiding doing? What are you afraid of? Hold on to these answers. We will be using them!
questions make it your mission to nd out! Try some new things out. ...as in an activity that you have not done before. Do it for self discovery. Do it as an experiment. Do it for fulllment. Do it for fun. I am going to try out.....
Now go do it!
Get on speaking terms with your self. Make friends with the deepest parts of yourself. Feed the deepest part of yourself whatever gives it pleasure... Walks outside, baths, going to concerts, delicious food, good books, good conversations. Feeling good will make it easier to look deeper inside yourself. You will be more open and authentic and receptive. If you are in a good mood you will be more fun to hang out with even for yourself.
Pay attention to your reactions. Notice your thoughts and feelings. Notice how you react to conict, adversity, problems. Notice how you react to opportunities, invitations, attention. Look to see if your reactions are different from the people around you. Any uniqueness is an asset in a fullling life.
Spend time alone. Daydream. No planning. No scheduling. Just dreaming. Daydreaming is an incredible useful skill. I call it a skill because it takes some discipline to let your mind wander without moving into analytical thinking. Judging your daydream or turning it into a to do list sties your exploration. Daydreaming is an opportunity for your deepest parts to speak up. New ideas, desires, and solutions to problems can rise from deep within you.
Listen for what has been missing in your life. What you long for. What your heart really wants. It is okay to feel it. When you have been going without something that is truly important to you it is good to acknowledge it. You are more likely to make changes if you let yourself feel what you have been missing. What dreams you let die and what needs you have given up fullling. Feel it for a minute.... Knowing yourself means letting yourself feel.
What is your heart longing for? The answers to these questions are your most valuable resources in making changes in your life. We will be using them again!
truth. They become the lenses through which you see the world and they often go unnoticed.
Limiting beliefs will undermine you without you even noticing. Beliefs are just thoughts that are taken as
Limiting beliefs will prevent you from knowing your potential by convincing you of false limitations and shortcomings. When we have limiting beliefs about ourselves we stop ourselves short of what we can really accomplish.The belief is that we can t so then we don t. The reality is we don t know what we are capable of until we go for it over and over again. Limiting beliefs will prevent you from taking action and sharing yourself by painting a picture of a hostile world out there. When you believe that the world is hostile it will seem hostile. Our beliefs are great at collecting evidence to prove them right. With all the apparent dangers who would want to share themselves? Limiting beliefs can be changed. You can believe what you want to believe. Believe that you can succeed. Believe that the universe is backing you up. Believe in something that empowers you.

Presentation Matters
Part of who you are is created by how others see you. Have you ever noticed how difcult it is to be yourself with someone who already misunderstands you? We naturally t inside of other peoples view of who we are. It is important to be aware of how others are perceiving you. If you are sharing but being misunderstood your passions and talents might be wasted. You try to offer support and advice but it may be perceived as condescending. Or you try to mediate but are seen as a push over or nosy. This Self expression can be a pushy, bossy, greedy, ignorant, obnoxious agenda (which isn t true to yourself anyways...) Or. It can be done as a gift. Self expression can be generous. It can be loving. The solution is graciousness. To be gracious you must be willing to listen and absorb. Listen to both the positive and the negative feedback and listen to how people are responding to you. Are they getting what your giving?
After taking a guess pick 3 people to interview. Ask them these questions to nd out if you are expressing who you are in a way that people get.
...The answers to those questions will give you insight into how affective you are at expressing yourself. If you haven t been affective it is easy to change... networking. You let people know what your up to and they give you support, opportunities and more people to give support and opportunities. It doesn t just apply to business it applies to any aspect of your life. If you are up to having a purposeful life you share about yourself. Small talk makes you small. Don t waste conversations on things you don t care about. Talk about what matters to you. Talk about your passions! Have conversations that are fun and make a difference in your life and in the other persons life. People are your resource for fulllment. Life purpose does not happen in a vacuum. You need people who support you and you need people who need you. If you want to have a fullling life surround yourself with great people. You have the power to create people. Just like they are creating you, you are creating them by how you see them talk about then and how you talk to them.
Say no to gossiping Think about them, speak about them, and to them like they are beautiful, brilliant, unique, creative, kind, brave, funny, sweet, interesting, and divine. and be grateful that you have them in your life. This makes your network your pool of resources exceptional. This shows who you are by the company you keep.

your actions. You express yourself through your choices. You express yourself through your environment, through your friends, through your work, through every part of how you live. Self expression is about taking action inline with who you are. It is about taking action towards the things that you want. How are your passions expressed in your life?
Do you want a relationship more than anything but don t want to date or meet people? Is God and spirituality most important to you but you have no spiritual practice, outlet or community? Look at the gaps between who you are inside and how you live. This is the gap between you and a fullling life. When someone can look at how you live and from that understand who you are then you are living a purposeful life.
What would you need to do in order to make what s important to you part of your life now....
Stop Doing...
It isn t just about doing more its also about not doing things that aren t expressions of yourself. You get to say what is in your life and what isn t. Creating boundaries so that what drags you down doesn t impact your ability to give is being generous. And it lets everyone else know how much you value yourself. When you value yourself others will follow.
