PLANT YOUR PURPOSE

This PURPOSE journey isn’t just about finding your purpose and voila your life snaps into place (see yesterday’s post) … your life must be ready to fully support (hold, grow align with) your PURPOSE as well.

Let’s look at the analogy of planting a seed in the ground…it doesn’t just grow because it’s in there.

Do you have sunlight, and are you somewhere where there is enough clean flowing water? Is your soil hard so the water can’t get in, or are there weeds that will choke it out? Are there rocks that need to be removed from the soil? And do you watch over it to see what it needs daily as it grows? What if there’s a storm, do you cover it? Give it extra fertilizer if it needs it?

Yes…it’s the same for ‘growing’ your PURPOSE in your life.

{ CONNECTION } What power sources are you connected to that fuel your PURPOSE? Are you connected to SOURCE, or are you doing all the heavy lifting for your own self help? Are you hanging with people who are hurting you or helping you? Empowering you or distracting you?

{ FLOW } Your emotions are your internal ecosystem. If you have toxic emotions it’s going to poison everything. What survives in a toxic environment? Relationships? Your peace of mind? Your PURPOSE? If you’re numbing out, stuffing your feelings, or you don’t feel anything anymore…you’re blocked. And like a block in a river flow; you get stagnant, there’s no movement, you’re STUCK. What emotional blocks are stopping your FLOW? What mindsets or patterns do you need to replace?

{ GROUNDED } Are you giving yourself enough nurturing self-care nutrients? Are you over giving, or into negative self-talk that’s depleting your soil? Are you taking care of others, pleasing or enabling and not weeding the place where your purpose is trying to take root?

{ EXCAVATE } What stories from your past do you need to unearth that are making your soil too rocky, and are creating triggers that are wreaking havoc on your present? Is there a pattern of behavior or a mindset that you KNOW isn’t in your best interest? How is your life going to be in alignment with your PURPOSE?

{ MANIFEST } Are you matching expectations and outcomes? Do you want to find and align with your purpose but you haven’t? Are you letting frustration and disappointment stop you before you find a way to create the clearing you need in your life? Are you looking for the right tools for the job? Or are you short cutting and jerry rigging your results?

We put so much pressure on ourselves, compare ourselves to one another, and beat ourselves up when we are not where we THINK we're supposed to be in our lives.

Take a breath right now, and think INSTEAD about one positive thing you can do in each area to begin to create a healthy, vibrant, juicy, inspired place to plant your PURPOSE in your life.

OR, one thing you can do to nurture what is already planted…do you need more Source, helpful people, better tools or more inspiring activities? Just start somewhere today, and ask for an AHA! moment to get you going if you need it!

How would your life be different if your PURPOSE was perfectly planted in your life? www.livingyourgifts.com/our-5-core-areas-of-transformaiton/
