#5 Life Purpose: Permission to be Me!
To get that sense of satisfaction that comes from living or fulfilling your Life Purpose you need to grasp one major fact:
The first step in experiencing the sense of meaning that comes from living Your Life Purpose is to fully express your true self, regardless of anyone else's expectations. Should I underline the 'regardless of anyone else's expectations'?
The problem is we often have a very diminished idea of who we really are, which is why we play small or hide out or give credence to other people's advice about who we are and what we'd be good at.
What I love about my experience helping others find and understand their Life Purpose is how many of my clients tell me that hearing their Live Purpose was a relief, like someone had taken a massive weight off their shoulders, as if they finally had permission to be who they really were and stop trying to fit someone else's mould of who they should be.
What if you sat yourself down for a minute and just listened to all the "I need to do this...", "I must do that...", "I should...", "I have to..." thoughts that go through your mind? Then ask yourself "Says who?". Then ask yourself which of those things do I really want to do? Not out of fear of what someone might think. Not out of a hope or need for some kind of response from someone. But simply because it feels right for you, it feels like something you genuinely want to do because it matters to you, just you.
You don't need to be anyone other than who you already are. You were born with the perfect personality for the work you are here to do. Not everyone will like you being you, but you're not here to serve them, you're here to serve your Purpose not theirs. (Turning around a favourite saying of my mother's when I was growing up, I say "Invite them to take the plank out of their own eyes before they focus on the splinter in yours!")
If you need confirmation and clarity about who you are, a bigger vision of yourself (that no one else needs to know about unless you want them to) then I'd recommend discovering your Life Purpose.
