Why Discovering Your Purpose Can Elevate Your Life by Jena Bell

Do you know your life’s purpose? Have you ever reflected on your life and wondered what is my purpose? Why am I here?

These are great questions to ponder if you have not done so previously. 

Why? There are three reasons.

First, I believe that each of us has a purpose and a calling on our life. 

Second, it is up to each individual to discover what that purpose is and to make a decision to be obedient to the calling. Because understanding your purpose, gives meaning to your life, it serves as a compass for how you live and how to prioritize things that are important to you. 

Third, When you are connected to your purpose, your reason for being, you elevate your life,  show up powerfully in the world and increase your impact on the people you ultimately serve.  I believe that our life is about serving others. 

Now many people talk about purpose, but for the sake of our discussion, let’s make sure we are on the same page.  I am specifically focused on the belief that we each have been designed to fulfill a mission during our time on earth. I am not referring to roles that you may fulfill, such as an accountant, lawyer, doctor, executive, mom, or dad, these are all titles we have given ourselves. I am talking about the measure of the mark you chose to make in the world. Your impression on the lives of people you serve. It’s who you are regardless of the roles you engage in during your lifetime.  The purpose shows up in your role. For instance, if you are purposed for healing and transforming lives, you may do that in the role of a nurse, musician, speaker, or even an accountant. Yes, amazing, right? I share this short story as an illustration. A fellow Purpose-Driven Woman is a talented accountant. But what sets her apart, is the mission embedded in her work. She heals the financial health of her clients. As a healer, her purpose is manifested through how she deploys her skills as an accountant. Her focus is not just the transactional part of her work, it’s the powerful impact to change their relationship with money, so they become better stewards over their finances, invest, and build a legacy. She is a purpose-driven, mission-based financial accountant who heals her clients’ finances.  She loves her work and her purpose brings greater fulfillment in what would be a mundane transactional business.  Operating in your purpose gives you clarity, elevates your creativity and allows you to operate fully in who you are intended to be.

If you struggle with knowing your purpose or would like help in deploying your purposefully in your business or career, let’s Connect so that you start to live fully in your purpose.
