Purpose! When you have it there is meaning and fulfilment in your life irrespective of whether what you're doing is heralded or unsung.
So, here we are rapidly approaching another year’s end, with a holiday season to appreciate and enjoy with family and friends and a fresh new year waiting to greet us.
But if you feel unfulfilled and chained by the ankle to your life situation, business or career and if you've said to yourself, "There's got to be more to life than this grindstone," then now is the time to consider what you'd like to have happen instead.
Anyway, on Sunday I facilitated my “Find Your Path and Go For It” group workshop and
I was so fired up by this and also an online programme that I'm attending that yesterday, Monday December 4th, I sat down and mapped out my plan for 2018. I created a clear vision for my year and provided specific and detailed actions for the first 3 months and I have a lot of clarity about moving forward into 2018.
If you are not already doing so, over the next few days/weeks, I’m sure you too will be thinking about the next 12 months – right? That thinking probably has to fit in with shopping, eating, drinking, partying and general socializing. But with the New Year looming it is worth finding a private hour or two to reflect on your achievements for 2017, and what you would like to have happen in the next 365 days – and beyond.
And, if you can’t come up with any new achievements for 2017, big or small, then perhaps you should reflect on why not, and then set yourself some achievable goals for 2018 – business, career, personal, health, relationship, family… It will be time well spent and provide a very motivating start to the year.
It is well known that we get what we focus on. So start writing down your hopes and dreams for the coming year and beyond. Think about what you would like to have happen and devise a plan to get there.
We all have a special purpose or mission to fulfil. Yes, you, too.
In yoga this mission is referred to as your individual dharma. It is what will bring fulfilment and meaning to your life. If you're feeling that something is missing in your life, that you're not getting any satisfaction from your life or work then it is likely that you've not uncovered your purpose as yet.
Your purpose could involve greatness (building an empire, leadership, having a message for the masses, being an artist in the spotlight...) or it may be less visible (helping people on a one-to-one basis, creating a loving family...).
Dharma is your unique mission. What you are here on earth to fulfil. In order for your purpose or dharma to unfold you must first want to know what it is and then to discover it.
Knowing your purpose is not enough, however. You must start to implement it in your everyday life (personal and professional) for the fulfilment that you desire.
Human beings are always striving to realise their personal potential, wanting personal growth and peak experiences. Models such as Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs and NLP's Logical levels as well as numerous research attest to the fact that self-fulfilment, meaning and having an higher purpose are central to having soul-level satisfaction.
One way to start to discover your purpose is to ask yourself: If I had all the time, money and energy I desired, “what would I like to have happen?” What would I do with my life?” Step out into the realm of infinite possibilities, use your imagination and visualisation powers to see your deepest desires more clearly.
Write down your answers. Then answer the question: “What is stopping me moving in that direction right now?”
For me the best system and an easier way to identify your higher purpose is Scientific Hand Analysis, which uses the map in your own hands to identify your unique mission on earth.
Without discovering your purpose, even if you’re successful and reach the top, you will remain unfulfilled. Why not set an hour aside before the new year and answer the above questions.
“Whoever you are, or whatever you do, when you really want something, it’s because the desire originated in the soul of the universe. It’s your mission on earth.” Paolo Coelho

“Once again your programme is amazing and with all the different knowledge and expertise you're adding to it, it makes it super powerful. The hand analysis on life purpose, obstacles and how to move forward using the insights from the hands took it to an even higher level. I said that I wanted a 'revelation' as my outcome for the session and I got it. A real recipe for success.” Stephanie Veillas
