Well, that's not all together true. I made an attempt a few days ago to figure out "my purpose" but Amy pointed out to me that it was kind of weak and she was right. I think it's probably part of the fear that can bubble up when you start down this kind of self-improvement path. You just don't want to mess it up. AND a life purpose does seem like such a big deal!! Talk about commitment - your life purpose is your whole reason of living!!
So anyway, I guess I came up with something that sounded a'ight and was trying to gloss on to the next chapter. It was pretty subconscience (sp?). I really thought I was doing the exercise but in hindsight, I rushed thru it and didn't give it another thought since. So not a Jack move. Good thing, I've got Acton to keep me honest :)
So I've been doing a lot of thinking on this one. This is what I've got after many attempts:
"My life purpose is to use my optimism and creativity to uplift others in a empathetic way to find their own unique talents to shine."
I'm still not 100% sure of this but I feel like I'm getting closer. Guess I'm still a work in progress on this one. Jack suggests considering meditation to help your purpose come. So I may turn to that.
Hey Jen, Don't be so hard on yourself. You've had a very emotional and stressful week and handled it like a pro.
ReplyDeleteThis is YOUR life purpose. It is really just for you.
Don't put so much pressure on the verbiage, that will come.
Can you see it? Can you feel it? Then you are there. And if you can't quite make it out yet... Just relax, it is on it's way to you.
