Purpose

Laura had a wonderful teleclass call today with Steve Sisgold.  Both of them had so many insightful things to share with us.  I really, really enjoyed the call.

One of the ideas that stuck out to me was having a purpose and then asking oneself if one’s health, relationships and career are all alightned with that purpose.  First, I don’t know exactly what my purpose is.  I know that I enjoy and feel strongly about the importance of giving to others, loving others nonjudgementally and feel most alive when I am experiencing life in the present moment.  I suppose that is a good place to start. : )

Then the next question, asking if my purpose expresses itself in my life??  What an incredible observation to notice that no, my purpose does not show up in my life consistency.  I find myself being negative about work, judging other people, taking from others in relationships, and avoiding the present moment by eating food.  These past and sometimes current behaviors are not aligned with my purpose. 

Although my behaviors are not always aligned with my purpose, I am definitely doing much better with this alignment since my participation in OnePinky.  The first step seems to be for me to notice the unalignment and then bring it back to focus.  Kind of like meditation.  When the mind wanders we are supposed to just bring it back.  I intend to focus on this in my life this week and see if with awareness I can get most of my behaviors to align with my purpose.  I have a gut feeling that this will work. : )

Thanks again to Laura and Steve for a wonderful teleclass.

What stood out for you Pinkies?  What did you learn?

May there be peace within.

Love,

Gina
