How to Discover your Unique Soul Purpose Part 2

After doing Garrett Gundersons exercise I still wasn't clear on what to do with what I discovered and how to create a soul purpose statement. While searching the web I found a helpful form at www.synergyinstituteonine.com. I'll give you an example of how simple it is to create a statement using Garrett Gundersons ideas and this form.

The form has a place for listing your top three core values.
1. Integrity
2. Charity
3. Knowledge (freedom)

Next the form has you list your top three life's passions (here I listed my hobbies):
1. Time with family (family history)
2. Working with hands (creating)
3. Reading, studying, learning

Next list the top three talents, skills or abilities you possess:
1. Empathising (compassion)
2. Serving others
3. Decision making (following the Holy Ghost)

The key themes that kept popping up as I did Garrett Gundersons exercise are: Family, seving, learning, working with hands (or creating).

Here is the statement I made from the two exercises:
My purpose is to raise righteous, happy, well educated children in a close knit, strong family environment, to learn and create continually and apply that knowledge and those creative skills in the service of and for the betterment of humanity.

I would love opinions on this, suggestions and to hear of others experiences doing this as well.

Doing this is so important to me because it gives me a roadmap to follow as I walk through life. I can reflect on my statement and ask myself if what I'm doing is in line with my life's purpose.

Garrett White (who often works with Garrett Gunderson) is giving a free webinar called "Awaken Soul Purpose Teleseminar" on Thursday Feb. 26th, here's the link http://www.eventbrite.com/event/275095819

How to Discover your Unique Soul Purpose Part 1

Everyone has a soul purpose that is their own. Garrett Gunderson defines soul purpose as "your unique combination of talents, abilities, natural proclivities combined for the best and highest content or mission of your life." It's the greatest expression of who you are.

When a person lives their soul purpose they are happy and fulfilled because they are doing what comes natural to them and they are good at it so are compensated highly both emotionally and financially.

How do you discover your soul purpose? Find out what you like, what excites you.

Here are some questions to get you thinking about what your soul purpose is:
1. When are you the happiest?
2. When/where are you the most creative? What ignites the most passion in you? What are you always talking about? What would you be doing if your life were ideal? Write for 10 minutes w/o putting the pen down, then continue on with questions 3 and 4.
3. What are your favorite hobbies? What hobby can be turned into an economic benefit?
4. If you knew you couldn't fail, what would you do for a living?

Look for things that keep popping up, circle them and make a list of them.

Creating harmony in your life so you can focus on your soul purpose:
1. What area of your life are you experiencing the greatest disconnect?
2. What could you do to alleviate some of that problem? Pick one thing and start working on it w/i the next 24 hours.
3. Is there any area of your life where you are constantly focusing my attention on that is draining your energy?

I just began working on this exercise this morning. It's fun to think about me (being a mother I often forget myself) and eyeopening.

I got this information from ILG. You can visit Garretts site www.garrettbgunderson.com
