Okay, so your life is going well. Right? Why rock the boat? After all if you unveil your purpose, everything will change, won’t it? What is that, fear speaking?
Go ahead and let fear control you once again. It’s true–everything will change. Just not in the way you imagine. What I’m saying is: you need to choose whether to let fear keep you from the one thing in your life that guarantees your fulfillment.
PERSONAL FULFILLMENT
Unveiling your purpose, and then living it, is the only thing you can do that will provide you with consistent fulfillment in your life. All the searching outside of yourself is a waste of time. You need to come back to yourself. Inside yourself to discover what and who you are. A common question people ask is, “Who Am I?” Then we go and ask others to show us and tell us who we are. Like the little bird that goes around asking the question, “Are You My Mother?” to which the answer is inevitably, “NO, I am not your mother.” Like the little bird asking everyone else who his mother is, you seek outside acknowledgment of what lives inside of you. You don’t need anyone to validate your innate qualities, you just need to be able to see them. When you unveil your purpose, you will discover the innate qualities that you are here to share in service of others.
Whether sharing your gifts is your intention or motivation or not, when you unveil your purpose, you will discover the innate qualities that you are here to share. You will share them. There is nothing you can do to hold them back, because they will feel so natural and so a part of your expression that you can’t help but “be that.” The biggest secret you will discover is that you’re already living your purpose in some fashion; you just haven’t been able to see it. Perhaps you’ve even been feeling resentful toward the people you’re sharing your purpose with. That’s a tricky one. Here’s my example:
My purpose is to teach concepts that change peoples lives. (If you’ve heard me say something different, I’m not lying to you, I’m just getting clearer.) I feel the most fulfilled when I am teaching. It can be through writing, classes, workshops, or even talking with a friend. I feel strong when I am teaching concepts that change peoples lives. (Michelle says I have to explain what concepts means–it’s not clear enough.) Here’s a concept: How to treat CK; it’s a simple concept. There have been times when I’ve been angry and frustrated because I shouldn’t have to teach this group of people this concept. Resentment is high when I am disconnected from my purpose of teaching. However, when I can just look at the facts, I can be inspired to teach people how to treat me. From this new perspective, it makes sense. I don’t need resentment or blame. It’s a simple concept and why on earth would I expect people to already know how to treat me? After all, I’ve treated myself poorly enough in the past, haven’t I? Why shouldn’t others follow my lead? When I approach the situation from the perspective of living my purpose, I simply teach the concept and everyone’s lives change. (It’s just an example….does it make sense?)
When you frame your everyday actions in the context of how you’re living your purpose, your life flows better and you’ll engage your life from an empowered place. Personal fulfillment is the result of bringing your passion for who and what you are into every action and reaction of your life.
YOUR LIFE WILL BE EASIER
Yes, Michelle will disagree with me on this one too.
But, I stand by my statement! When you know what your purpose is, you will stop the struggle to find what is missing in your life. Here’s another secret: When you unveil your purpose you can surrender to the most natural way for you to be in this world. If you find that you are here to ‘play’ you can stop struggling against your purpose and bring play into all areas of your life. The only thing you will have to fight with is your mind that says, “My purpose must be something else,” or “It’s that easy? It can’t be!” Well, I am here to exclaim, IT IS THAT EASY! It’s only the lenses you are looking through that tells you the lie that is needs to be hard or it needs to be something bigger (in your mind) than what it is. What if you found that your purpose is to smile? Too puny of a purpose? NO!
Okay, let’s take Mother Teresa. What was her purpose? To care for the poor? Maybe it was compassion? She chose to live her purpose in one way. How many ways are there for one to live out the same purpose? Ten? A thousand? Probably more ways than you can count.
I have a secret!
I am filled with secrets today and this one is a real secret so be sure to tell everyone. Stop comparing yourself! Just be yourself and let the energies that yearn for expression to have a clear path to manifestation. Stop standing in the way of the magnificence of who you are.
A FOCUS FOR YOUR LIFE
If you’re having any trouble with moving forward in your life, unveiling your purpose will provide a focus point for you to direct your energy and create the life you desire. Do you need to know what your purpose is to move forward? No, not really. Like I said in the beginning everything is okay in your life, right? But if you’re feeling like you’re living below your potential (trust me, we all are), and you desire more for your life than you currently express, you will benefit from this powerful bit of information.
HOW DO YOU UNVEIL YOUR PURPOSE?
Of course I want you to participate in our Unveil Your Purpose E-course or the next weekend workshop we facilitate, but honestly the most important thing to me is that you Unveil Your Purpose! We have tools and support and accountability for discovering and then manifesting your purpose once you unveil it, so…
Why would I refer you to other people?
Because it’s important to me, personally, that you unveil your purpose. I know that when you really get why you are here, then you will share the energies inside of you with others. You will feel happier and more fulfilled. You will experience a peace inside of your soul that you are doing what you came here to do. You will naturally share your gifts with the world. You will continue the journey of uncovering the golden gift that you are. Wow! That turns me on. You want to know why? Because when you are doing that, others will do it too. And together we’ll be creating peace on earth. I don’t have delusions. I refuse to believe that job is too difficult for us. It can be as easy as living your purpose. In fact, it is that easy. No-one can talk me out of that. When I teach concepts that change peoples lives, the people I’ve taught change the world. Who am I to not believe that? Who am I to doubt the power of our intention? Who am I to live my purpose and think it doesn’t affect you? All I ask is that you prove me right!

Hi CK,
As always I love reading your perspective on Living Your Life Purpose. But I agree that I don’t agree with you. Life is NOT always easier when you are living your purpose.
When you are living your purpose you WILL be called to move outside your comfort zone, to try new things, grow and stretch – never easy for anyone.
There is still all the C$%*P that goes on.. Heartbreak, betryal, death, sickness and the stresses of life.
So, life won’t necessarily be easier. That part depends upon your attitude toward the stresses, the stretches and the challenges.
BUT, you will feel more fulfilled, and less prone to search for answers outside yourself when you are in touch with your purpose.
Michelle
This is such a beautiful and true statement.
“When you know what your purpose is, you will stop the struggle to find what is missing in your life. Here’s another secret: When you unveil your purpose you can surrender to the most natural way for you to be in this world.”
I did a self esteem volunteer program for the Chicago Courts for prostitutes. I did it for five years.
At the end of each session, I gave thanks for the priveledge. It nourished me.
They were the smartest women I ever met. They had to be to stay alive!t

Your secret – I’m getting there – to where I don’t compare myself, and really let my real me be expressed. To be honest, it’s not easy for me. It’s not easy to feel vulnerable about exposing my true core. For when I do, I am opening myself up. And I fear what that might mean.
Thanks for sharing your purpose, CK. For in doing that, it helps me to believe I can do that as well.

Hi CK,
My life purpose: to shed light.
The closest categories are something like: therapeutic-teaching or therapeutic-teacher.
I think it is intimacy or depth of contact that is deeply nourishing (we don’t need it all the time necessarily – just as we don’t need to eat all the time: unless we have been starved until now perhaps). I think this means that ‘life will be easier’ and ‘life can get harder’ are both true: life gets harder because there are different challenges – different ones which are more unusual and so there is less guidance on availabe; and life gets easier because the new challenges mean engaging at depth and with intimacy and so the process can be nourishing, even when difficult.

Michelle, I guess maybe I’m thinking that when you are living your purpose it is easier to deal with the ups and downs of life because you know what you’re about. And I agree that our attitude is a huge part of how we perceive the circumstances in our life.
Corinne, Does this fit for your purpose? In the work you do and appreciation you feel in teaching? And your way of being in the world? How so?
Lance.
The real you expressed will be much more wonderful to experience than all the things you’ve done to cover it up to get something you want or think you need. What if you knew for certainty what I know: that being true to your true core was the quickest and surest way to what you really desire in life?
I’ve heard it said that when you can speak your truth out loud with no fear of loss or judgment then you’ve arrived. I’ve thought that means taking risks, because not everyone will like who I am. But I’ve discovered two things about that: 1. I’ve decided that I would rather have my friends like me for who I authentically am. ALL of who I am. And it’s not all pretty. and 2. If I can speak my truth without fear then there aren’t really any risks of loss there right? It’s the in between that feels like risk taking…fear that I won’t be liked or I will offend someone with my writing or that I say the wrong thing or I’m misunderstood blah blah blah….
Here’s the natural coach coming out in me. I can’t stop her….. Okay, I surrender….Tell me more about what you fear it might mean for you in exposing your true core… BTW this is an opportunity for you to be vulnerable. Notice the thoughts and feelings you have when you consider exposing your true core. What does ‘true core’ mean to you?
Evan, So when you engage your challenges with depth and intimacy, it gets easier…. If your purpose is to shed light and you are going about your day shedding light, even on yourself it seems that the challenges that arise would be easier for you than if you were shedding say…darkness. So, when you are engaged in shedding light your life will run smoother because you are aligned with your purpose and the sense of fulfillment you feel will carry you through the rough times.
For me I have found that although my roles have changed throughout my life, at the very core my purpose has always been to help people in need. I have helped people by serving them in an administrative position, as their manager and today as a writer and speaker. I have always volunteered. Perhaps people need to remember that purpose and roles are not the same thing. When I have coached people on this topic they often start trying to define their purpose by saying things like “my purpose is to write”, “my purpose is to to be a doctor” and we have to pull back and look deeper into those roles to find the actual purpose.
For a while my role was mother and wife and my purpose was to help my newborn child. At first I felt like I wasn’t fulfilling my potential, but then I realized that I was doing the greatest service of all, I was helping a new human acclimate to this life and form a healthy body and mind. Then I was a-okay.
Now onto my true core….hmmmm.. to me, my true core is who I am without this body. Who is the soul that entered this body. Now as to the very private “me”, that would be the very basic combination of my true core and its life in this body. My fear when I expose her is that people will find out how vulnerable I truly am. So many people have come to rely on me to be strong and have the answers that sometimes I worry that they would be disappointed if they knew how delicate my true self really is. Shhhh…let’s keep this our little secret, LOL.
Melissa, I love your view on this. Michelle and I are developing an e-course and one of the lessons is called, “The Roles People Play,” and highlights what you say that our purpose is not the roles we play. Your purpose can be expressed through a role, but what happens when the role is swished out from under you? If you grasp this concept, then you aren’t lost without a purpose. Live your purpose in all areas of your life. Like your example of raising a child… Looking at your roles you play though the lens of “living my purpose,” will allow you to lead a more purpose-filled life.
Thank you Melissa.
ps. I might like to refer to your comments in our course and book. Is that okay with you?
CK,
Thanks! It would be an honor to be quoted! When you are ready to launch the e-course please let me know and I’ll write it up on Melissa Thinks Out Loud.
BTW, Love your site so much!!!
