What is Your Passion and Purpose a.k.a. Your Authentic Self?

7/1/2015

At one point or another in our lives, I know that each and every one of us has been inspired and led by our life experiences to question our existence by asking this question: “what is my passion and purpose in life?” In Paulo Coelho’s book, “The Alchemist”, he introduces the concept of “personal legend” as the truest path and calling that each of us have in our life, that we have every capacity to actualize. Oprah calls it our “supreme destiny”: this is when where we are living the “fullest, truest, and highest expression of ourselves”. Although there may be different names for it, the essence is the same: it is all about living a path in life that resonates most with your heart and your truth.

Tonight, I went to a workshop. We did an activity where we had to write an acrostic poem for the word BLUEPRINT to write down our own personal manifesto on how to live our own unique blueprint in our every day lives. It was an intuitive, fun and reflective exercise that helped me come up with a clearer understanding on what I believe and what I stand for.

Here is mine:

B e present in the moment. The past is gone, the future is yet to come. Create
beauty. Right here, right now.

L ive the highest, truest, brightest version of myself by following my heart,
my inner spark.

U nderstand that everyone has different perspectives. You can’t control what

           they see or how they interpret situations, but you can choose to decide

           what you see in a given situation. Choose love. Always.

E mbrace my intuition and always stay true to my intentions. In any given

            situation, ask yourself, “what is my truest intention?” This is your

            inner compass.

P erspective: the miracle in life to me is whatever situations and people come

            into my life, I have the choice to shift my perspective. Choose loving
  thoughts moment to moment, day by day.

R eflect: take time to reflect and be honest with yourself. Know that people and

            situations are there for the purpose of helping you grow and expand your

            awareness.

I ntuition: Trust your intuition. Know that your intuition is the soft voice in

            your heart, your inner compass and inner wisdom.

N ever settle for less than what you deserve in life. Do more of what makes

            your heart sing and your soul soar.

T     reat yourself with compassion, care and love. Know that it all begins with
  self care before we are able to truly share our hearts with others fully.
