Yes! Exactly. You’re here, as the extraordinary individual, who changes the world for the better…. You do that everyday just by being a wife, mom, and moose trainer. By the way, I have a moose that is very unruly–eating my petunias. Any suggestions?

I was going to disagree with you until I read this part:

“The person who can no longer function when their last child leaves home.”

Put that way, I can certainly see your point. I personally define myself as first, an extraordinary individual who changes the world for the better…and next, as a wife, mom, educator, entrepreneur, parakeet wranger, moose trainer and the like.

Excellent article, stumbled! Barbara

Kevin, in exploring our purpose (and teaching about it), I ask tons of questions… What is your true spirit? How do you keep clear of the draw to identify with a role? or if you do, then how is that for you?

Like this post… I was re-listening to Elizabeth Lessor talk about Roles from the Tolle-Oprah series. We do get locked into roles and it’s important not to get caught up. Our true spirit is independent of our perceived roles in life…
Cheers! Great Site!

Corinne, I totally think men can relate to this… Just replace the word mommy with the job title. The MOMMY MYTH is interchangeable with any role we play. Devastating results can happen when losing a job… when so much of ourselves is tied up in what we do, when we don’t do it any longer we can become lost. If this happens, get some help…. Find your purpose.

Miki, We just started a Life Purpose discussion over on facebook. Have you joined in already? In response to your question, in my own situation it certainly took a lot of digging and then allowing for me to discover my purpose. The more we do know ourselves, the easier it is to know why we are here… There’s isn’t so much trying to ‘figure it out’ when we know ourselves. Choices are easier too!

CK,
I love visiting your blog because you share great advice in such a clear way.

Life purpose is a huge topic (well, for me anyway) because I think so many people are coasting through life now knowing what their purpose is, or that such a thing even exists.

…and you’re right on the mark when you say we often think our role is our purpose. I’ve certainly felt this way in my life – thankfully I’m beyond it now. It can be devastating when we attach ourselves to the roles we play out in life.

Here’s another thought…is it possible that people who don’t know who they are are further away from discovering their purpose?

Thanks for the brain food today CK!
