Aligning with your Purpose

Aligning with your Purpose

There was a time I was preparing to write my Tuesday message to you then I had a phone call from a long-time friend. She shared that a mutual friend had just died…dropped dead in her kitchen. We shared memories then continued in a two-hour conversation that closed the window for me to write you yesterday. So, I am writing today.?

The death and the conversation with my friend reinforced some thoughts I have been pondering for the past few months.?

I talk a lot about purpose and being authentic to who you are and living your purpose. What I have been learning is that your purpose changes and grows over time. It’s like climbing up a ladder. The higher you go on the ladder, the broader your view.?

As I have completed my work with authenticity and am teaching others to teach it, I find myself moving to another purpose in life, a new way to use what I have developed through authenticity and leverage it for an unmet market.?

It’s an exciting feeling when you align with your purpose, even when it takes years or decades to unfold. It is certainly worth the journey.?

Let's have this enriching conversation – MEET WITH ME.

Looking forward to speaking with you.
