Integrating Your Purpose with Your Life

Once you have come up with a workable Life Purpose statement, remember that you’ll have the rest of your life to work with it and refine it. Even if you sincerely endeavor to remember and follow the guidance of this Purpose, it’s quite possible that there will be days, weeks, or even months when you’ll forget about it completely. You’ll get immersed in life. This doesn’t mean you’re not on Purpose during these times, though—especially if you have made a conscious choice to give yourself to your Purpose. Consider a brief meditation to express this intention, such as simply relaxing your body, quieting your mind, allowing yourself to expand into a sense of oneness with the universe, and stating, “I offer my life to my Purpose of (insert purpose here).” If that sounds too big, or you have a fear of commitment, try offering a single day to your purpose. When you wake up in the morning, you could make an intention statement such as, “I give this day to the full expression of my Life Purpose of (insert purpose here).”

By “giving yourself to your Purpose,” again, we don’t mean that you have to completely overhaul your life. Depending on your current circumstances, it may be entirely possible to live your Purpose without changing much except your intention. There are so many ways to fulfill your Purpose; think creatively. Going out on a date or watching a movie may be completely “on Purpose” for you. For instance, it may help you connect to others, experience more love, or better understand your species.

On the other hand, if your current situation presents significant obstacles to living your Purpose, perhaps some change is warranted. Even if these changes are difficult to face, you will grow and heal through the process. When you consciously live through your Purpose, you get to experience success in a way that’s very different from typical achievements—you’ll feel it as an ongoing sense of fulfillment. Moreover, when you align the real-world elements of your life (such as your career and relationships) with your Purpose, it becomes easier to achieve balance and success in these areas. Everything you’re doing comes to feel like a contribution toward the big picture. It’s empowering and energizing, and it facilitates a sense of trust in the trajectory of your life.

From now on, you have this compass. When in doubt, let your Life Purpose guide you. Your Purpose, along with your Gifts and Values, will help clarify your priorities and elucidate difficult choices. You can always ask yourself:

Is this aligned with my Core Values?

Or, If I were to approach this while embodying my Core Values, how would I act?

Does this allow me to share my Gifts?

Or, If I honored and utilized my Gifts to my fullest potential, how would I act?
