230 Who Do You Think You Are?
If you could give advice to those who are still searching for their
life’s purpose, what would it be?There are two parts to my advice: The first part is to ask yourself every
morning: “Spirit, what do you want to use my life for today?” Allow a
new answer to arise every time you ask.
What you’ll find is that your answer will often come as a way to
serve. Especially when you’re feeling great, you’ll naturally want to help
other people feel the joy and abundance that you’re feeling.
The second part is the guidance we give all of our clients. You
see our clients are holistic practitioners, coaches and entrepreneurs who
naturally want to serve. The mistake they often make is the one I made
when I worked at camp. They let their desire to serve other people
overtake them and keep them from including themselves in the service.
The best way to burn yourself out is to serve everyone but yourself.
Giving is no more spiritual than receiving and depriving yourself of your
birthright of abundance, love, and support is the best way to shortchange
others of it.
So, here’s the second question to ask: “What do I need to receive
today in order to serve fully?” By asking these two questions, you will be
amazed by how quickly you become the leader you’ve been waiting for.
