Purpose

Your Purpose – An intuitive perspective

~ Kay Robinson ~ Leave a comment

The most common question I am asked is, “What is my purpose?” This is not a new question and is a question asked since man could ask a question.

When asked today, there is a picture (a mental image picture) in most that says our purpose is about what we do or accomplish. The second question thus becomes, “What should I be doing?” We seek the answer outside ourselves. What if your purpose is something other than what you should be doing?

Our purpose comes from within. Our purpose this lifetime is to know ourselves as a spirit in a body, how to be human, and to create the physical world we experience. From this perspective, we learn to experience and manifest whatever we imagine.

An atheist perspective would be the opposite. The atheist perspective causes us to feel that we are the effect of the world around us and must do something about it to fulfill our purpose.

To know our purpose is to know ourselves at our core (heart). When we know who we are as a spirit in this body, we can experience ourselves however we choose.

Our lives are a reflection of how we are being. When we are being an atheist, we are the effect of everything. When we know ourselves, we express ourselves and our purpose in the world.

This is not logical, but it is very intuitive. Take a step in knowing yourself at your core, expressing yourself from within, and see how you reflect yourself by creating your reality – your purpose.

Meditate. Go within to your core (heart). See and feel who you are at your core. Let who you are at your core flow from within into your world.

Don’t think. Meditate. Know thyself – purpose.

What’s My Purpose?

“What is my purpose?” is the question asked most often.  The question that follows is What should I be doing?

I am a firm believer in the notion that there is nothing we “should” do.  When I hear, “I should,” I know the person is not speaking about anything true to them.

What if our purpose is nothing more than to be ourselves. That may sound so incomplete unless we know what it means.  Being ourselves begins with knowing who we are at our core (heart).   When we know who we are at our core, then we know ourselves as spirit.

Our purpose then is to experience and express who we are as a spirit in the world.  That is our purpose.  When we know who we are at our core then expressing in what we do comes naturally.  We are drawn to experiences that help us be ourselves.

This sounds simple, but it is not easy.  We encounter demands and expectations that push on us and distract us from who we are.  The challenge is to stay true to being ourselves.

The only way I know to experience our purpose and what we “should” do is to go within.  Meditation is a space where we quiet the body and clear our thinking.  We need to calm our space to go within, to see, hear and know who we are at our core.

Finally, allowing our life be a reflection of who we are at our core. In this way, we know our purpose is to be our true self.

Why am I doing this?

cropped-standing-on-rock.jpgSo why am I doing this? Asking why is a good way to realign who we are with what you do. It does not matter if you sort widgets, work for a corporation or run a business. Knowing why you do what you do helps achieve your vision.

When we start we know why then over time, we get lost in the energy of the work, the challenges we meet and the routine of it all. Suddenly we are working hard and have lost the inspiration and connection to ourselves.

From an intuitive perspective, creating from within, based on who we are, helps us work in ways that inspire why we are doing what we do. When we don’t take the time to stop, to go within, release energy, clear our thinking and reconnect with who we are at our core then we drift further and further away from ourselves. When we drift away, we get lost in the challenges and the struggles. We lose our passion and are left with problems to solve and feeling unfulfilled.

Taking the time to stop, go within and reconnect with who we are at our core revives the passion within us. From meditation, we can reflect on the work that we do and reimagine it in a way that serves our goals and our lives. We know what quantum physics is  now proving, that we create changes in our reality as the observer.

You create. You can create the change you desire. Just take the time to stop, go within and reimagine why you do what you do. Find the passion and the purpose or perhaps change what you do if the current cycle is completed.

Best wishes on your success, Kay

Lost A Client to His Passion

????????????????????????????????????????A fellow business coach lost a client after their first session, and it was wonderful! Sam told the story of his first meeting with Fred. Sam felt Fred’s natural warmth and experienced his transparency refreshing. Sam found he had to ask Fred often to speak up, due to his softly spoken manner. Sam could feel Fred’s pain and anxiety when he opened up about his frustrations, based on his crippling fear of expressing himself with his team. Fred has built two profitable businesses. Fred’s been offered the worldwide rights to the brand to one of his businesses and wanted to franchise. Fred admitted he had no idea how to become bigger than his fear, step out of his softly spoken shadow, and grow into an inspirational and respected leader.

Sam and I begin coaching our clients, in the same way. We want to know what they value, what is important to them and how they view their purpose. It is a challenging exercise for everyone and essential for coaching to begin. Who they are at their core shows up in their business and their life.

After this exercise, Fred decided to stop running his business. His passion was to support the teachers in his company. He decided to take paid position allowing him to pass the running of the business over to someone else as an outright sale or a management arrangement. Fred’s first coaching session with Sam allowed him to find what he wanted and what he did not want–“I do not want to be stuck in front of endless Excel spreadsheets.”

Fred is no longer Sam’s client as he stepped out of being a business owner. From Sam’s perspective, his one coaching session with Fred was a complete success. Fred found his passion. Fred took the time to stop and look at where he was and if that aligned with who he was. Fred found himself in the midst of all of that and decided to follow his passion.  This is his version of success.

What Am I Trying to Accomplish Here?

green grasTo be human is to ask, then ask again, “What is my purpose?”   I hear and ask this question all the time. When we feel uncertain about the answer to this big question then make it simple.  Decide to be on your path today. Being on your path in this moment is far more important and inspiring.

If you stopped, got out of your routine, took the time to get really present with yourself and meditated, opening to your intuition, not your logic, how would you decide to be on your path today?

We are so programmed to think, decide, know and figure out our path, our purpose or our life’s work that we drift further and further away from ourselves, from who we are at our core.

If you are uncertain about your purpose or feel a bit off your path then do not think about it. Do not try to answer the question.   Instead, stop.   Come out of all your thoughts about things. Stop thinking. Be present with yourself in this moment. Decide to be on your path today wherever that leads you. Do this intuitively. No expectation.

A good measure is to love each moment and the experience.

It could be as simple as changing your attitude about this day, your life today, the people you interact with, the way your approach each experience.   It could mean making different choices and placing your attention on things that matter versus things that do not and know the difference.

Rather than write goals for the New Year decide to live your purpose each day. You do not have to name it. Just be in present time. For this to work you have to get off the treadmill, out of routines, clear your thinking, let go of energy and be present.

Best wishes for the New Year,

Kay
