Michelle, I KNEW IT; you do read the things I write! I think I’d better just give you my questions in advance because I LOVE Marcus and I don’t think I can control myself. Of course I could probably talk and talk and I would never know you put me on MUTE! aargh!

CK,
You’d better give me your questions first, and beware, I have control of the MUTE button if you get out of control!

Carrie, Michelle will be on the radio with Marcus on Friday Dec 5th. What did you think of his work? Do you have any questions that have been coming up consistently from your readers? I have a ton of questions, but I don’t think Michelle will let me get a word in….

Brandon’s earlier post about Power Hour reminded me of Seane Corn and her body prayer and I thought I’d share her with you. You can see a bit of her here: http://speakingoffaith.publicradio.org/programs/2008/yoga/corn-vinyasa-video.shtml You can also go to http://www.speakingoffaith.com

Brandon, I love the depth of your response. I am gathering that your Soul Purpose is being expressed in your work… Is that a fair assumption? I’d love to know how you do this. I also love your Power Hour. I’ve noticed that setting an intention sets me up for success. I appreciate your sharing.

CK,

Thanks for the response. The biggest way that I have avoided playing to my strengths in the past is by working in a career where I had success but didn’t enjoy it. Every day in that job absolutely killed my spirit. Fear is what kept me there until I just decided I had had enough and left to do something that played better to who I wanted to be as a person. I faced criticism for this initially but have been able to develop my purpose and work more closely in that purpose.
Here’s what I call my Soul Purpose mission statement: “To be the shepherd for mankind to stand fully in their own light and bring Soul Purpose effectively to the marketplace.” The first step for me which you talk about was getting clear on who I am. This allowed me to stand fully in my light so that I can help others to stand in theirs and do what they love.

As far as support structure. The one thing that I do each day is what we call a “Power Hour”. This is at least 60 minutes each day focusing on Mind, body and spirit. I do this before I do anything else. Some of the activities that I do in this time are: meditation, prayer, gratitude statements, working out (I have been doing triathlons lately), meal planning to make sure I am eating right, reading books that align with my purpose, planning, goal setting etc etc.
This is my daily reset that gets my day started on the right foot every day.

Sorry this is a lot of info but you asked a lot of good questions so I felt compelled to answer them as completely as possible.

Brandon, How has this been true for you? What is one way that you have avoided playing to your strengths? How have you been able to stand fully in your own light? Are there support structures you have in place to keep you standing in your light?

Tell me a little about yourself and the person you are meant to be? What is your purpose and how do you personally stand in the light of who you are?

Gosh, I sure do want to know how other people experience these concepts….
