The Promises Lens of Purpose

A promise is an assurance.  One can count on a promise.  When considering our purpose, the journey to connect with our purpose and the courage to take action and live out our purpose; knowing assurances is an anchor.

Why Faith Tradition?

My grandfather was a wise man who almost lived to be 100.  He taught us, “if you want to know how something works, go to its creator.” In addition he would say, “if you want the best understanding, go to the source.”

My faith tradition is at the core of who I am.  As a resultant, one who is focused on fully realized purpose, I agree with my grandfather and I go to my Source.

Knowing that I was created with a specific plan in mind lends sacredness to my path to purpose journey.  This sacredness allows me to trust, be in surrender, and to journey without having a map because I know one exists for me to tap into.

As a Conscious Follower of Jesus Christ, there are many biblical promises about purpose, here are several of my favorites:

  • Jeremiah 29:11:  “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
  • Jeremiah 1:5 Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart.
  • Philippians 1:6 For I am confident of this,  He who began a good work in you will continue to perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus.
  • James 1:17 Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.

In addition to my favorite scriptures, there are many stories of purpose in the Holy Bible that are relevant today.

Why is sacredness important on your path to purpose?

Our path to purpose can be challenging.  Many experience the sheer excitement and bliss when we consciously witness purpose operating in our lives.  And as we move from awareness into practice (remember the process in the process), we face some decisions that support stop, start and continue activities to move forward with our purpose.

Imagine some of the decisions Dr. King made to live his purpose. Can you imagine having a strong suspicion that your days were limited and yet pressing forward? Dr. King is an outstanding example and teaches the principle of being pulled by purpose or your unutterable fulfillment.

We do not have to lead a revolutionary movement to have challenges that expand us. When the requirements of purpose:

  • move us out of our comfort zone,
  • cause us to exchange our long-held false identities for the authenticity of who we are,
  • make shifts and boundaries in relationships,
  • cause us to take stands that may change perceptions,
  • call for unpopular decisions and perspectives,
  • change lifestyles

what will you rely upon to anchor you while you are expanding?

Think of every hero’s story, there is always a cross-road when the heroine makes a shift that pivots the story.  Our assurances and promises that continue to speak and guide beyond the sacred text can be leverageable!  As results-oriented Purpose Peeps, we extract and leverage.  When we offer our sincere asks from a place of love and humility and they are answered in a personal and intimate way that is beyond our understanding of possibility, it is a treasured gift.

In my most candid video (warning it’s a long one) I talk about a Divine Download (something miraculously appearing in my awareness) I received and am actively unlocking–being a soul having a human experience.  It reminds me of the scripture Jeremiah 1:5, “Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you and set you apart.” Wow, God knew my soul before I was formed as a human being.  Who better to connect with about my purpose as a human being than the One who formed me and knew me as a soul?

 

What promises or assurances about purpose anchor you on your path to purpose?  Please share your experiences.

Spark Notes: The Resonance of Purpose – What is your vibration?

The Resonance Lens of Purpose

cross pollination of purpose

The resonance of purpose speaks to the vibration you feel or sense when you are on your path to purpose.  The resonance of purpose is a trusted guide that is an informal litmus test–yes or no, stop or continue, good for me or not.

Resonance is not a function of thought, it is a deeper knowing that is felt.

Resonance is a key to unlocking intuition.  When we vibe with a person, place, thing or idea, we trust that it is for us even if how it is for us is not revealed in the moment.  The Key of Trust works nicely with resonance because we may not fully understand what is next on our journey to purpose, resonance affirms where we are and the direction we are headed.

What is interesting about resonance is that it teaches us our frequency.  If you think about frequency like tuning into a station on the radio, our frequency comes in loud and strong.  It is music we like and can relate to.  Conversely, when we are not on our frequency, the vibration and sounds have static and we find ourselves adjusting trying to get better sound to make the frequency work.

I have met amazing and diverse Purpose Peeps through resonance.  When guided by resonance, something sparked my curiosity and I pursued it through information and Purpose Peeps to understand more.  Over time these experiences combined to form clarity about my next inspired action or the communities that really jazz and inspire me.

Resonance is gift and powerful tool when learning about what truly makes you come alive.

What are your experiences with resonance on your path to purpose?  Engage. Share below.

Spark Notes: The Uniqueness of Purpose – What is your unconventional quirkiness?

The Uniqueness Lens of Purpose

cross pollination of purpose

I love all of the lenses of purpose and yet uniqueness is one of my favorite.  This lens of purpose leads to freedom.  And yet it can be a challenging journey to really access it.

One of my mentors guided me through a transformative exercise where I exchanged my old language for new language based on words that authentically sparked me.  Two words that individually jumped at me were unconventional and quirky.

Being on the path to purpose allows an intimate relationship with authenticity.  Some time later while working with a client, I had a new experience with these words.  As I supported my client through shedding layers to get more clarity into her authenticity, she realized the very things she was trying to hide were the very things that were her strongest tools in her toolkit.

My client completed the I Am Not My Story Exercise in the Unlock the Keys to Success Personal Journey and gained insight about her uniqueness.  Her uniqueness, or unconventional quirkiness is one of her keys to success.  She was not consciously leveraging her uniqueness because she was still responding to some old messaging about conforming.

Your uniqueness is your signature.  Your uniqueness is your calling card.  You can be in a room filled with like-minded, similarly talented Purpose Peeps and your unique stamp sets you apart.

Embracing our uniqueness is the silent demonstration of the essence of living life fully.  It is part of the purpose equation. 

Uniqueness could be steeped in personality, style or perspective based on your experiences. The more we tap into the uniqueness of purpose, we let others (personally and professionally) know that they are in a space of trust.  As Purpose Peeps, trust is a requirement to have impact as we serve in our area of purpose.
