Living "On Purpose"

What what does it mean to "live on purpose?"

Generally, I think of it as living our lives in complete alignment with our deep values and the way we are created. First of all, this means we have to actually live our lives, and NOT just go through the motions! What does it look like to live life fully? To participate fully in your whole life?

Secondly, I think this means that we also have to do the deep work of getting to know ourselves and uncovering / discovering our values and what we hold dearest. Then (and only then) can we discern how to align our actions and being with our deeply held values and the deepest sense of purpose in the world.

I am extremely grateful for the guides, mentors, and personal growth opportunities that I've had in my life to get to know myself at a deep level. In my experience, merely knowing my values is different from living them. I have had a combination of spiritual directors, mentors, friends, and coaches who have helped me to figure out what it means for me to align all of my actions with those values. When I am truly "living on purpose," there is a tremendous amount of energy, passion and peace in my life. It truly feels incredible…

My desire is that everyone would take advantage of opportunities to learn about themselves, and then figure out what they need to do to live life fully right now.  That is one of the most rewarding parts of the coaching  and "pastoring" I do.

Please let me know if coaching might be something you want to explore. I would love to have that conversation with anyone who is interested!

Also, let me know if you have any questions or comments below.  May we ALL experience blessings on the journey!
