Big Why? Defining the underlying motivation or driver for doing what we do is often difficult to put into words.
In my expereince, for most people, it's about helping others to thrive in some way. At a recent networking meeting, I attended, one person had a corporate job that she loved and her side activity was being the founder of an organisation to uplift young people. Another woman's business is about etiquette and helping to facilitate behavioural changes. Yet another produces healthy sauces to make food taste delicious, someone else has three businesses - a thriving cleaning business and two other businesses...
Deep down connections are really important to me. As some of you know, one of my specialist skills is scientific hand analysis. My hands show that one of the things that I am here on the planet to do is to be a leader helping people to create peaceful, harmonious relationships - with themselves first and then with others. I am also in the Schools of Love and Peace (it’s not surprising really that I also teach yoga).
In hand analysis your life school is your underlying operating system or personal development theme. Being in the school of Love is about making connections and developing emotional clarity and self acceptance. Love matters most and relationships are really important. The School of Peace is about developing inner peace and seeking peace and calm versus panic or paralysis/freezing. These are things to master in this life.
There are two other schools: Service, developing the ability to provide joyous service through communication - teaching, instructing, being an ideas person and the School of Wisdom, which is about trusting your wisdom, making choices and taking action rather than indecision and sitting on the fence. We all have aspects of the other schools in us and at least one dominant school. If you don’t already know your life school or theme can you guess which school you might be in?
My heart lines (left and right hand) show that I have three different emotional styles - Big Heart, Romantic Idealist and Hermit. The first two are others focused meaning that I consider others before myself. If you have the Hermit heart line you consider yourself before others. There is also the passionate heart line and if you have this heart line you also consider yourself first and then others.
I also have the spiritual teacher marking in my hands. This means that I am also here to help people who are experiencing a crisis of meaning or purpose in life and with their core identity. Or people having an identity crisis, changing a job/career, going through relationship breakdown/divorce or empty-nester wondering what to do now the kids have left.
We all have our unique design and patterns and my design and when I had my hands read and had this revealed I was amazed that all of this information was in my hands and actually confirmed that I was on the right path when I was doubting my direction.
My Big Why is improving health and wellbeing on the planet. I am passionate about health and wellness - physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. From yoga to identifying life missions and coaching individuals using fabulous tools like David Grove’s Clean Language and Symbolic and Systemic Modelling taught to me by expert trainers/mentors so that I can use these processes to help promote inner wellbeing, stretch capabilities so we can be and do our best in life, relationships and work. In this lifetime, I am here to help increase people’s self awareness and self knowledge so that they can be themselves and not a copy.
What's your big why? Schedule some time in your diary to consider this. What are you here on the planet to do? Write it down so that it becomes more tangible for you.
