Life Purpose Discovery Workbook

Introduction

Life Purpose Discovery

Every decision we make is the life that we live.

The decisions we made yesterday have shaped our life today, and the decisions we make today, will determine our tomorrow. Every choice we make leads us somewhere. Our lives always reflect the choices we make.

The question you must ask yourself is this :

Q. What do I want tomorrow to be like? Or even today?

If it’s different from today’s reality, then your only choice is a choice to change.

Knowing your Life Purpose will be the very thing that underpins all the decisions you make and will guide you to where you want to go in life.

Session 1 - Knowing Your Life Purpose

According to Tony Stoltzfus,

“Life coaching tends to focus in on two things: identifying and pursuing your life purpose, and refocusing your present life for greater energy, fulfilment, and productivity. In other words, creating a better future and a better life today.”

(Tony Stoltzfus, “Coaching Questions”)

It is so important to know our life purpose! It is like the compass that directs our life, and without it we wander through life, aimless, without good direction, and taking our chances, rather than planing how we will live every day on purpose, and knowing where we are headed.

It is like flying a plane without a flight plan, or going on a road trip without a map.

Knowing your life purpose, and pursuing it, gives meaning and significance to your life and everything you do, including every decision you make.

Coaching Question

Q. What are your thoughts on this statement?

Every decision you make is the life that you live.

If every decision you make is made with your life purpose in mind, then the life you end up living will be the life you most want to live, and the life you were born to live!

There are many factors that make up who you are. There’s your innate personality, your life experiences, your family background, to name a few.

But there’s a deeper element to knowing who you are. Understanding what makes you tick, what you respond or react to, what stirs your heart, what makes you laugh, what makes you cry, how you relate to people, whether you prefer more time alone than being with other people, what you are good at, what you enjoy doing. These and many other things make up who you are.

Session 4 - What Are Your Values?

Your values define you. They are the basis of your decisions, your responses

and reactions to life and situations, all your behaviours. You will have values

that are innately yours, they are a part of who you are. You will also have

values you have picked up from others, i.e. your family.

Your values are things like how you treat people, whether you are honest in

your relationships, the things that are most important to you, like integrity,

loyalty, friendship, family, commitment, punctuality, just to name a few.

Your values are like the engine of a car. You don’t see it, but it is what drives

the car.

If you think of an iceberg, your values are unseen under

the water, in your subconscious, and the outworking of

them is what is seen above the water line. Your values

are powerful and the unseen force that sets the course

of your life.

Coaching Questions Q. What do you think are the strongest values that operate in your life?

Session 5 - What Do You Daydream About?

We all have dreams and desires and most of us, if we are honest with

ourselves, have at least one that may not have been realised or fulfilled yet.

Do you know what yours are? You may have had dreams since you were a

small child, or some may be more recent.

You may have a dream to travel, or you may have a dream career, or a desire

for a beautiful new home. You may have a dream for missionary work, or to

be a singer.

I had a client who had a dream from when she was a very small girl to travel

to Africa and work in a school. She fulfilled that dream just before turning 70!

So it is never too late to fulfil your dreams.

Coaching Questions Q. What dreams are you still holding on to that have not yet been fulfilled?

Q. What dreams have you let go of?

Actions

• Spend some time unearthing those dreams that have been buried for a

long time. They may play a significant part in the discovery of your life

purpose!

Session 6 - Life Balance: Making Room for Your Life

Purpose

You will need to fit your Life Purpose into your present life circumstances.

Once you know your Life Purpose, you’ll need to take action to make it a

reality. It may be necessary to make some changes to your life to make your

Life Purpose a day to day reality.

You may need to do some training, study, reading or research for example,

to prepare yourself for what’s ahead. For instance, if you discover your Life

Purpose is to teach, you may need to do a teaching degree, or training

course. If you discover your Life Purpose is to paint, then you may need to

do some classes on painting.

Coaching Questions

Q. What do you need to do towards the fulfilment of your life purpose?

Q. Where can you fit the outworking of your purpose into your life as it is

today?

Q. What can you act on now?
