I recently delivered a program to a group of women, and one of them asked me a profound question…
“How can I figure out my purpose in my career and life? I’m feeling unfilled and out of balance.”
Have you ever felt like this?
Like you’re on the hamster wheel of life, running hard but getting nothing out of it except EXHAUSTION?
Yeah, I’ve been there too!
This is a symptom that you’re out of alignment with your WHY, and you might also be at odds with your core values.
I do extensive work with my coaching clients to help them figure this out so they can get off the hamster wheel and start living their lives WITH PURPOSE, ON PURPOSE!
Here’s one of the exercises we work on together.
Understanding Your WHY
Find a quiet place, reflect on the questions below and capture a few notes.
Step 1: Reflect on the Possibilities
- What makes you come alive? What are your passions?
- Where do you add the greatest value?
- What impact or contributions have you made by being who you are?
- What types of activities make you forget about the passage of time?
- What do people ask of you when they come to you for help?
- If you were given a chance to teach others, what would you teach them?
- If you were given a chance to do something you love and not worry about the paycheck, what would it be?
- What’s usually the reason why people thank you?
Step 2: My Why
Review your notes from step 1. Do you notice a pattern or one idea that comes up over and over in different ways? Summarize this pattern or idea in a sentence or two.
This is just one of many exercises to help uncover the possibilities and create a compelling vision for career and life.
It’s HARD WORK.
It requires you to DIG DEEP.
And it opens up EXCITING POSSIBILITIES for your life that are ACHIEVABLE.
If you’re ready to get off the hamster wheel and put a plan in place to live with purpose, on purpose, then let’s talk!
