I’m confident you have all heard that we are here to find a purpose. I can even remember 25 years ago watching that on the Oprah show. She would always say: “each of you are here for a purpose, you are meant to find it and live it.” And then the cameras would scan the audience and you look at these faces (of 99% women) nodding, yet still with a quizzical look!
I could almost read their minds: “yeah that’s great, but what the hell is my purpose?”
I think too many women confuse our purpose to be our job or career. When I work with women at my retreat, we learn that our purpose is bigger than that- it’s a way were meant to BE in the world.
When you discover how you are meant to BE in the world, you take it into all areas of your life: your marriage, raising children, friendships, community service, even your career. For example, if your purpose (the way you are meant to be in the world) is to discover and learn new things you will do that, And be that in all areas of your life. You will surround yourself with people who support and encourage that about you. You will work at a place that thrives on your way of being.

Discovering that and being able to line it in all areas of your life is truly living your purpose. I find that it’s pretty easy to discover what a woman’s purpose is! What is your purpose? Your way to BE in the world?
