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.
