The Quick Guide to Finding your Purpose - Soultiply with Brittany Ritcher – www.Soultiply.com

Finding our Life’s Purpose….
can be a tricky thing to uncover…
Now where did I put my
purpose? It’s around here
somewhere… wait, where
are my shoes?!
But what do you do when you have NO IDEA what your
purpose could be?
You have no freaking clue how you can use your life to contribute and make an impact…
(This pup needs to find his purpose…and fast. )
Don’t be shy or humble….
This ain’t the place, girlfriend…
BE HONEST.
Everyone is good at something!
Or maybe it’s something that you aren’t all that great at, but it’s
something that you LOVE to do…
Like me with ice skating!
These are the things that make you excited to get up in the
morning.
The time seems to FLY BY when you are engaging in
these activities…
MAYBE THEY ARE HOBBIES (LIKE PHOTOGRAPHY, SKATING, ETC…)
OR MAYBE THEY ARE SKILLS (COMMUNICATION SKILLS, MATH
ABILITIES, CODING & TECHNOLOGY EXPERTISE)
Write them down in a list.
Look at this list.
And imagine how you could offer these gifts to the world to anyone who needs them.
Create a second column right next to your gift list…
This column will be for IDEAS of what you could do with your gifts.
Gifts/Skills Ideas & Applications
Your ideas can be as big or as small as you want…
Don’t get caught up on HOW you will make it happen just yet – only brainstorm ideas.
Could you bake treats for people in nursing homes or volunteer to sponsor a
culinary club at a local high school?
NOW LOOK AT YOUR LIST –
YOU NOW HAVE A FULL LIST OF IDEAS THAT COULD LEAD YOU TO
YOUR LIFE’S PURPOSE!
(I’LL DRINK TO THAT!)
Put your list in a place where you can see it, love it, and send it good
thoughts.
(Channel positive energy towards your list every single day!)
WHAT IDEAS ON MY LIST ALLOW ME TO OFFER MY GIFTS TO THE WORLD… TO ANYONE
WHO NEEDS THEM?
You can never think too big…
And then do another idea as a hobby or volunteer effort…
(Such as working with puppies at
a pet shelter!)
Being of service to others is one of the most fulfilling
and rewarding activities you can imagine – and the core,
guiding principle that comes up time and time again when I ask people
how they found their purpose…
I pursued many paths that I hoped would lead me to my purpose.
Such as…
• Acting • Working at a talent agency • Casting • Becoming a teacher • Working as an event planner • Becoming a matchmaker…
BUT SOMETIMES YOU NEED TO TAKE YOUR LIFE’S PURPOSE
FOR A TEST DRIVE…
(Test driving your purpose isn’t quite as scary as driving for the first time…but you might
feel just as lost!)
And each time I tried something new, there was
something about the dream that didn’t feel quite right to
me…
I found my purpose with Soultiply…
and I know this now because I took a risk
and tried many things until I found something that made
my heart sing…
SO NEVER SETTLE!
YOU CAN FIND ABSOLUTE HAPPINESS.
IT IS OUT THERE.
THERE IS NO NEED TO SETTLE FOR SOMETHING THAT ONLY MAKES YOU SORT OF HAPPY OR TO WORK A JOB
THAT YOU ONLY KINDA LIKE.
Your purpose might not be a “title” (you might not be meant to be a
“doctor” or an “actress” or a “pilot”)
(To find out more about the danger of “titles”, visit http://www.soultiply.com/dreams-change/)
Your purpose might be a quality instead.
It might be to “give to those in
need” and you might spend your whole life discovering
new and different ways to help others.
OR YOUR PURPOSE MIGHT BE “TO ENTERTAIN”…
AND YOU CAN DO THIS BY WRITING, PERFORMING, TELLING FUNNY STORIES TO YOUR FAMILY AND
FRIENDS OR BRINGING LAUGHTER WHEREVER YOU GO!
Because the majority of us spend most of our adult waking hours at
work, we often assume that our life’s purpose must be something career
related… or at least an activity that we can turn into a career.
Although it is true that your purpose CAN be disguised as a
particular career, or that you COULD create a
career for yourself based upon your purpose,
it’s not the only option.
FOR EXAMPLE, YOUR PURPOSE COULD BE: “TO TRY TO BE THE BEST MOTHER POSSIBLE.”
AND YOUR DAY JOB MIGHT ONLY BE SOMETHING THAT
ALLOWS YOU TO SUPPORT YOUR FAMILY AND GIVES YOU THE RESOURCES TO FULFILL YOUR PURPOSE.
You were given this life to make it count.
You were given unique skills and talents to share with the world.
