Did you know that your purpose is a huge key to your personal and professional development, and of course, your ultimate success? It shows you how you feel fully alive, thrive, and make the contribution you came here to make.

It’s possible that the journey you can take to discover life purpose could be one of the most underrated secrets of success.

“Who am I?” and “Why am I here?” are timeless questions we all ask in our search to understand the big picture of our lives. These questions call to the soul, the eternal part of us that reaches beyond the physical trappings of our life to grasp the underlying meaning.

Fortunately, your life purpose  is also surprisingly easy to understand. And it’s even one of the best success secrets we have found in two decades of building our holistic practice.

Your Heart Holds the Keys

The things that bring you the most heartfelt joy and excitement are the things to focus on as you set out to understand and realize your purpose. These are the things that make you feel most alive.

It is amazing to think that everything about you was designed to optimize your ability to realize your vision and purpose.

Also realize that it is by overcoming challenges that your unique brilliance and the picture of what you are here to do come into focus. So if you think your past struggles are signs of weakness, think again. It’s alchemy. They have made you who you are today.

A good place to start is to write a list of the strengths and talents that bring you the most joy and excitement, the ones that make you feel most alive. This may also include strengths you have developed by overcoming challenges. There tends to be a theme around overcoming your greatest challenges that is linked with your purpose.

These strengths and talents are the ingredients to draw upon as you go forward. It is reassuring to think that you don’t need to be anyone other than who you are. Though we all need to develop some skills along the way and clear out some debris, we are here by design.

Your Unique Contribution

Next, consider the gifts that bring you the most joy and excitement, the ones that evoke passion about what you are doing. If you’re not sure, listen to your heart.

Now ask yourself what you feel guided to do to make the world a better place. This, in all likelihood, is your life purpose. Also realize that there may be more than one thing that you are here to do, and this is fine. Your purpose will also evolve as you evolve. It will become clearer as you become clearer about your true identity.

The important thing here is to hone in on one or two areas to focus on, so you can use your energy wisely.

“The Life Purpose Formula”

Your Strengths and Talents

+       Your Passion and Heartfelt Joy

+       Your Unique Contribution

————————————————

=       Your Life Purpose

To determine your purpose, explore the following:

1. Your Unique Genius: Focus on your positive qualities. Write a list of the strengths and talents you have that create the most heartfelt joy and excitement, the ones that evoke passion about what you are doing.

2. Your Contribution: What do you feel guided in your heart to do to make the world a better place? Again, jot down what comes to mind.

3. Your Weaknesses: While you’re at it, you may also want to identify your weak areas, the ones that may be better to delegate to others. Write a list that includes things you don’t enjoy or don’t come naturally to you. Identifying your weak areas and staying clear or delegating them to others will help you to free up your energy to focus on the things that are most important.

Once you have identified your purpose, your job going forward is to be operating out of your unique genius, or brilliance zone, as much as possible as you design and build your business. This is another huge key to write down and keep at the forefront of your awareness. Your unique genius is what you are here to share with the world. It is also your secret formula for success.

Rick Schefren, one of the top business coaches in the US, compares functioning outside of your brilliance zone to writing with your non-dominant hand. Functioning inside “the zone” is like writing with your dominant hand. If you were writing a book, which hand would you want to use? Similarly, in creating your business, which zone do you want to be in?

When you are in your brilliance zone, you will:

* be happiest and most effective.

* attract your ideal clients and customers.

* consistently produce powerful changes in people’s lives.

* produce powerful results and the most satisfied buyers.

* receive rave reviews and fabulous testimonials.

* reap the financial and lifestyle rewards of your success.

* feel joyful and fulfilled.

These are all reasons why it’s so important to understand your life purpose and unique brilliance. Once you do, you can build your heartfelt joy and passion into every aspect of your life and your business. They will carry you through the challenges and excite others about being part of what you are doing. Take them everywhere!

On our Heart of Success Blogtalk radio show this week, we discussed with Dayana Jon Patterson about how to “stand in the center of your life.” This is all about coping with stress and life balance.

A Senior Minister of Holistic Healing and Founding Member of the Awakenings Institute, Dayana is a Charter Member of the Heart and Soul of Success Academy. In addition to her own considerable wisdom, Dayana channels or “merges” with a wise being called AMAG.

Here are some highlights from the show on coping with stress and life balance to help achieve the heart and soul of success:

* Recognize your skills and abilites. Write them down. And make the list longer than 3 or 4 items!

* Many service professionals burn themselves out. It’s caused by serving others’ needs at the expense of their own.

* Set reasonable expectations for yourself.

FANTASTIC CIRCLE BALANCE EXERCISE

Here’s a phenomenal and easy excercise Dayanna shared with us. To come into balance, imagine a circle. With whatever issue you are facing, see where you find yourself in the circle.

Bring yourself back to center. From the center you can be balanced.

Come to the center of the circle,  the empowerment point, which also brings peace. Whenever you are challenged, return to the center of the circle.
