What's your purpose?

It's what you stand for that makes you a stand out.

Who will miss you
when you’re gone
And say, after seeing your
picture in some old magazine
She did work that mattered

For most of my adult life, I hated what I did for a living so much so that I felt like a little part of me was dying everyday when I went into work. You see,  I was a “good girl”, which meant that I was dutifully listening to everyone accept myself when it came to what I should be doing and how I should be.  But moving through life in this way did not bring me happiness or success for that matter.  All it did was make me feel like I wanted to scratch off my own skin, because it did not feel like my own.  

It was not until I got serious about listening to myself, what I wanted, and how I wanted to be that things started to change. The clearer I got about what I wanted to stand for, the more possible doing work that mattered to me seemed to become. What we STAND FOR is our PURPOSE and when we are connected to that purpose, it has a way of guiding our actions in a way that fulfills us and makes us feel whole.  

So, what do you want to be remembered for?

What is one thing you can do this week to revisit and reconnect you to your purpose?
