Have you ever felt lost in your pursuit of purpose? Like you're walking through a tunnel, searching for clarity? The answer may not be "out there" but within through awareness.
On Gift & Purpose
In the discovery of purpose, the most valuable tool is awareness.
It's so subtle you might miss it. But awareness is what sets you apart in your pursuits, it directs your choices, coordinates your decisions, and aligns your steps toward purpose.
What is Awareness?
Awareness is the notice tool in the tunnel of purpose discovery, it is your customized light in the tunnel.
Your colleague’s light may shine blue, white, or violet, but yours is uniquely designed for you.
Your awareness is your personal illumination in the journey of discovering purpose.
How Do I Discover My Individual Light?
The first key is to pay attention.
- Study yourself, your likes, the way you structure your day, your unique way of perceiving life, how you respond to emotions, and what consistently motivates you.
- Track yourself. Pay close attention to how you move through life.
- Silence external noise and tune in to yourself.

When you do this, you'll begin to notice what was once unnoticed:
?? The way you do things differently.
?? What deeply stirs your emotions.
?? The unique responses you have to life, things others may overlook.
From this place of awareness, you can create your "menu of uniqueness" a collection of the things that set you apart.
The Beauty of Awareness
Here’s the beauty of it: when you embrace and serve this uniqueness to others, it excites them simply because you are being you!
What’s Next?
Awareness is the first step. The question is what have you noticed about your unique awareness?
