Purpose
4/7/2009
During my seminar a week ago, I spent time with people who I met for the first time last May. Many of them commented that I appeared lighter than I had when they last saw me. Over the last year, I had the opportunity to spend three weeks with some of them. One week in June during Dream Coach© University; one week in July during Masters of Manifestation; and one week in October during Inspiring Speaker training. How could any of them have any idea what I am really like or if I am “lighter”?
I am lighter in the literal sense of the word. When I looked back over my Dream Coach© workbook, I realized that I have lost about 7 pounds since June. I don’t think that was what they were noticing or commenting on. What else has changed in my life over the last year? Many things: I lost my job in technology; I started my Dream Coach© company; my mother died; my father has been diagnosed with early stage dementia. These are the highlights. I don’t think any of them made me lighter.
What do I think they noticed? I have a purpose. I don’t always know exactly what it is. I can’t always express it in words. But I am moving forward; no longer stuck.
One of the actions I took last year while still searching for my purpose was to watch “The Secret” on DVD. My favorite scene is where they talk about God’s plan for our lives. They say that there is no black board in heaven where God writes our purpose. Our only purpose is to be happy according to “The Secret”. I really liked that scene because I have spent a great deal of my life knowing that I was put here for a purpose but I had no idea what it was. All I am expected to be is happy? There is no unique purpose for which I and I alone am designed?
As much as I wanted to believe all I was supposed to do was be happy, I couldn’t. It reminded me of the behaviorists who tried to tell me to “act as if until…”. Act as if I was happy until I WAS happy. That never worked for me either. I am a better actress than that. I can ACT almost anything without it actually changing my feelings. Luckily, I attended Dream Coach© University and learned the 10 step proven process for being in action on a dream!!!
The third step in the process is to identify your purpose. The purpose I identified was to joyfully celebrate magical moments. I now assist women in transition to magically transform their lives and celebrate those moments. This is why I am lighter. I have a purpose and I am moving forward in action on my dream.
If you would like to identify your purpose and move forward with a dream, to become lighter, give me a call. I look forward to celebrating magical moments with you!
