134 Who Do You Think You Are?
you most enjoy expressing them and then add what would be happening
in the world if it were working perfectly according to you. Then combine
all of that into one sentence. Someone whose life purpose has to do with
peace might say the world would be working perfectly if everybody were
peacefully and harmoniously interacting with each other.
A recent attendee in one of my seminars who was a professional
organizer wrote, “Everything would be well organized and working
efficiently.” So the way you see your ideal world, your definition of its
perfection, is a mirror back to you about what your purpose is. The things
that you get excited about, the things you get upset about are the things
you care deeply about.
The third thing you can do is to look at your talents. Ask yourself,
“What talents do I have?” You are given the talents you need to fulfill
your life purpose. If your natural talents have to do with singing and
dancing, then maybe your purpose is to be an entertainer. If your talents
have to do with being someone who is intuitive and psychic, it may have
to do with being a medical intuitive or doing psychic healing. If your
talents have to do with easily and effortlessly persuading people, your
life purpose may have to do with communication, sales, or leadership.
So look at what talents you’ve been given and figure out clues they are
giving you about what your purpose is. I find that to be really powerful
pathway to clarity about your life purpose. We each have a set of what I
call “core geniuses” that when we are expressing them, we find that
success comes easily and effortlessly.
