workshop students discovered their purpose by
examining what they were actually doing when they got
into trouble way back when.
Discovering your Purpose Statement starts by
getting rid of the clutter you've gathered over the years
that's been hiding the true you. The simpler your words,
the better. When you watch someone go through this
process, you can tell by their face as they get closer. It
relaxes them, and they light up inside. Many report that
it's like floating. My favorite example of this came in an
email after one of my workshops. "I woke up this
morning and felt like I'd lost forty pounds."
Everyone has something that comes naturally to
them. For some, it’s a talent for art or music. For others,
it’s a knack for problem-solving or athletics.
Unfortunately, many people never discover their natural
talents because they focus on things that don't come
easily to them. If you find yourself struggling to excel in a
certain area, it may be time to step back and consider
what comes more naturally to you.
You can uncover your own Purpose Statement in the
Playbook on page 256.
